DR. MILES KITE
Killed in Motor Accident
SOME SAD PARTICULARS
Dr. Miles Kite, who was killed in a motor accident at Mittagong at
8 o'clock on Saturday evening, was returning from a wedding which took place at Bowral the same afternoon. Dr. Kite was a grandson of the late Mr. William Kite, of Woolstone, Kelso, and a nephew of Mrs. Brooke Moore. Dr. J. B. Moore, Junr will represent the family at the funeral, which will take place at South Head this morning.
The deceased was a very attractive young man and a general favorite. He served at the war and afterwards went through the medical course at the Sydney University. Dr and Mrs Norman Little, whose wedding he had attended, arrived by car in Bathurst on Sunday and are spending their honeymoon at ''Strath'', Mount
Pleasant, the country home of Mrs Sydney Jamieson.
Dr. Kite was accompanied at the time of the accident, by his friend,
Dr. Voss. His neck was broken and death was instantaneous. Dr.
Voss was also badly injured. One of the saddest features in connection with the accident is the fact that the deceased was engaged to be married.
The funeral will take place today from the residence of his fiancee's father, Professor Sands Bayswater Road, North Sydney. Much sympathy will be felt for the large circle of friends, and more especially for his widow mother, who was known to many Bathurstians as Miss Ada Lee of Karralee, Kelso.
