The late Private Frank Griffith Bristed, who died of wounds in the Middle East, was known in Kumara about 15 years ago. He came with the late Mr. Frank Simpson and started farming at Taramakau Settlement. He stayed, however, for only a brief period, after which he gave up farming and returned to Christchurch. He was a fine type of young man and many are the expressions of regret and sympathy with his wife and children from Kumara people who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.

St. Mary's Church, Merivale, and its precincts, were crowded on Wednesday afternoon, when hundreds of interested friends and well-wishers assembled for the wedding of two very popular young people, both of whom were born in Christchurch, and whose parents, during their long residence in the city, have always been held in the highest esteem, says the "Press." The bride was Frances Jean, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. McDougall, Papanui road, and the bridegroom was Frank Griffith, youngest son of Mr. A. H. Bristed, and of the late Mrs. Bristed, of Avonside.... The bridesmaids [were] Misses Nancy McDougall, Kathleen Bristed, and Betty Webb.... Mr. Jack Bristed was best man....
