"OBITUARY
The funeral of Mr James Willis, who for many years was the lessee of the Criterion Hotel, Otahuhu, was largely attended on Oct. 4. Mr Willis had been but a short time ill, and his demise was rather sudden. About 37 years ago Mr Willis arrived in the colony and settled at Otahuhu, where he won the esteem of the entire community by his amiable and straightforward conduct. He was then manager to Mr Rogers, who kept the Commercial, and he continued in that employ until the Criterion was built. Upon the retirement of Mr Rogers he became lessee, and has been the genial host of that well-known hotel (with the exception of a few months) for the last fourteen years. Mr Willis was in his fifty-fourth year, and leaves a widow and four grown-up children, by a former marriage."2Civil Registration Index - New Zealand (https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/Home/), Death 1891 / 4717.
