Bereavements

TWO well-known Tahiti families have suffered bereavements lately.

Young Andre Lehartel died in the Taravao Hospital on January 24 from measles, an epidemic of which has been current. He was a son of Leon Lehartel.

The Lehartels are a respected and well known family, which is settled mostly in the Papara district.

Mrs. W. W. Asmus, wife of the British vice-consul if Papeete, has been informed of the death, presumably from fever, of her brother Bertie Frogier, who was a sergeant in the French military forces in Africa. There are several brothers in the Frogier family, resident in Tahiti.
