SLEPT OUT.
VETERAN OF 85 YEARS.
FOUND IN STATE OF COLLAPSE
A veteran of the Maori wars, Israel Hirst, who has reached the ripe old age of 85 years, spent a very unenviable period in the open from 9 a.m. on Saturday, when he wandered from friends at Devonport, with whom he was staying; until shortly after 4 p.m. yesterday when the police took him in charge, wrapped him up like a baby in blankets, and placed him in front of a warming fire at the police station. Later, on the advice of Dr. Tewsley, he was removed to the Hospital, where he is shaking off the effects of his wanderings. Saturday night the old gentleman spent in the railway yards, and when he was discovered, prior to being handed over to the police, by two young women near the boatsheds on King's Drive, he was chilled to the bone and in a state of collapse, the old fellow being minus coat and hat, and having fasted during the period he had spent outdoors. It is evident that the old gentleman is made of tough stuff, for a night spent out in the rigorous conditions that characterised Saturday night would have gone very hard with many men of younger years. Mr. Hirst has been a resident of the Dominion for over 60 years.

While strolling through old cemeteries, always check out the symbolism on those gravestones. You will find symbols of death which include weeping willows, hands, birds, shrouds, and wreaths. Unfortunately, babies, toddlers and children did not live to see their preteens because of many the childhood illnesses and epidemics like cholera. It is common to see family plots with graves for many children, and these are sadly marked with small statues of lambs. The Cornish miners were know to plant roses on the graves of their loved ones during the California Gold Rush, and some of those same roses still remain. With today's simple stones or cremation practices, something is clearly lost in history, our culture, and the way we honor our dead.
