—AT 112
Wari, an islander born on the northern New Hebridean Island of Pentecost, died on his North Efate village of Siviri in early June. He was reputed to be 112.
Wari moved to Efate as a young man and he helped several pioneer Presbyterian missionaries on nearby Port Havannah and Nguna Island.
Wari was a friend of the second New Zealand Presbyterian missionary to the Hebrides Reverend Peter Milne, who landed at Nguna in 1870.
He is survived by five children and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
