Hedstrom

Death In Suva Of Lady

"VJ'UMEROUS friends of the Hedstrom In family in the Pacific Islands, Aus tralia and New Zealand expressed deep regret when it was known that the death had occurred on June 1 of Lady Hedstrom, wife of Sir Maynard Hed strom, Chairman of Morris Hedstrom, Ltd. Lady Hedstrom had been in poor health for some time—she had suffered acutely from bronchial asthma.

Lady Hedstrom, prior to her marriage, was Miss Joyce Beauchamp, daughter of Mr. Walter M. Beauchamp, of Sydney.

She was a woman of charming social qualities, with a notable capacity for making and holding friends, and no worthy cause ever appealed in vain for her help. She also was a woman of out standing ability and, in the earlier years of her life, she gave much active help to her busy husband, Sir Maynard Hed strom, to whom the sympathy of a wide circle of friends has been extended.
