He subsequently took up the study of dentistry, and, after qualifying, practised in Palmerston North, Hawera, and Eltham. His skill as a dental surgeon was so well recognised that in January, 1917, he was requested by the Defence authorities to undertake important work in connection with the organisation of the Dental Division. He was subsequently attached to the Examining Medical Board for a year, and later he was appointed to Featherston Camp as a dental officer. He was next removed to Awapuni, and fourteen weeks ago contractcd pneumonia, being ten weeks in hospital. He then visited his sister in Feilding, and stayed there for three weeks before coming home. Unfortunately he had a relapse after coming back to Eltham, from which he never recovered. He leaves a widow (a daughter of Mr. Robert Hay, of Dunedin) and three children."
