A little girl named Tracey fell into the Avon, at Christchurch, on Saturday last, and for some distance floated down the river, supported by her clothes. She at length sank, but was rescued by a Constable M'Donald, who swam to her assistance. The child was insensible when taken out of the water, but by the application of restoratives was brought to her senses in half-an-hour.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.

A Distressing accident, which terminated fatally, occurred on Saturday afternoon lit about 5 o'clock to a mau of the name of Tracey, in the employ of Messrs. Whitson and Son, brewers. It appears that the unfortunate man was driving in from Onehungs in a spring cart with two empty barrels. Another man named William Currie accompanied him. The horse was proceeding at an ordinary pace. While descending Upper Queen-street, Tracey suddenly tell forwards out of the cart. Currie leaned over to catch him while falling, and in this attempt fell himself out of the cart, fortunately without sustaining any hurt. Owing to this he was unable to say whether the wheel of a cart passed over Tracey or not. Tracey immediately lifted up, and conveyed to the hospital, but while on his way there expired. Drs. Stockwell and Dawson were both in attendance, but the unfortunate man never spoke after he fell. An examination of the body showed no outward marks, ho that the cartwheel could not have passed over him. It is supposed that he was suddenly attacked with an apoplectic fit, to which he was subject, having had a similar attack about 12 months ago, when he fell out of a cart, though fortunately without resulting in serious injury. Tracey was a man of sober, temperate habits, and has been in the employ of Messrs. Whitson and Son for a considerable time, and his loss will be much felt. Ha was about 35 years of age, and leaves a wife and three children. An inquest will be held at the Greyhound Hotel at 2 p.m. to-day. During Saturday evening the body of deceased was brought from the hospital to his late home in Lorne-street, from which place the funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Obituary.

Mr. Michael Tracy.

The death is reported from. Auckland of Mr. Michael Tracy, for many years in business in Wellington, and father of Mr. Timothy Tracy, of Upper Willis Street.

The late Mr. Tracy, who was born in County Clare, Ireland, came to New Zealand fifty-eight years ago by the ship Waimea. He was accompanied by his wife (who died four years ago), his eldest daughter, Mary (Sister Camillas, of the Catholic Orphanage, who died six years ago), and Mr. Timothy Tracy, formerly well known in boxing circles in New Zealand. Upon his arrival in Wellington, Mr. Tracy found business none too brisk in town, so he set up as a bootmaker and repairer at the Upper Hutt, as at that time there was a largo number of men employed on the railway works building the line that was to connect Wellington with the Wairarapa. When that work gave out Mr. Tracy shifted to Wadestown, to cater for the men who were employed in the construction of the line between Wellington and Crofton (now Ngaio) for the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company. Subsequently he commenced business as a boot salesman in Willis Street, and remained there for some thirty years before shifting into Manners Street. He had been out of business for some years prior to his death.

He leaves five sons, Timothy, Benjamin, Michael, Leo (a Marist Brother), and Patrick.

The remains are being brought to Wellington for interment.

Mrs. N. M. Thomson, of Levin, is a grand-daughter of the late Mr. Tracy.

Rumors were current in Lawrence on Sunday of a destructive fire at Mr Tracey's house, Munros Gully. On making inquiry, we learn that the report, had been greatly exaggerated. Mrs Tracey, on Saturday evening, put some kindling in the grate, and after lighting it went outside for some water. The door was left open and as a fresh wind was blowing the kindling caught the scrim on the wall. Assistance being at hand, the flame was speedily subdued, and the loss will be trifling.

The funeral of Mr. F. J. Tracey, which took place last week in Christchurch, was remarkable for the attendance at it of the members of the Bicycle Club to which the deceased had belonged. A procession of cyclists leading their machines followed the cortege to the New Brighton cemetery, where the Rev. Father O'Hallahan officiated. The event is regarded as a gratifying proof of the spirit of good fellowship prevailing among the wheelmen, as well as a striking testimony to the respect in which their late comrade had been held by them.

By way of a Christmas Box to "Daddy" Tracey, a gentleman of this town started a small fund amongst the tradespeople, limiting the amount to 2s 6d, and had the satisfaction, after a little energetic effort, of netting the respectable sum of £10 6s, which was duly handed over for Daddy's benefit. Such benevolent acts must be cheering to the old man and pleasing to his friends.

This has been going on for some time, and we would ask the police to move in this matter, and bring some of these young blackguards to justice.

Death Of "Daddy" Tracey.

At 5 o'clook this morning an old and familiar face passed away peacefully at the unusually ripe, age of 93 years— William Tracey, better known as "Daddy." Born in the second year of the present century in Roscrea, Ireland, he lived there for 34[?] years, going over to London where he was engaged as a coal porter and wharfinger for 29 years. At the age of 63 he landed in the colonies in 1865, "taking up his home in Wanganui at the corner of Harrison and Plymouth Streets, where he has lived up to the time of his death. Lately, his friends have been much concerned respecting the tenement he inhabited, fearing lest the old building would fall over his cart, but contrary to expectations it has survived him. Though repeated offers were made to take “Daddy” into families, his friends' efforts were unavailing,- the old man stating that he would not leave the old house until they carried him out dead; In order to humour the old man's dearest wish, the owner' of the section, Mr S. Nicholl, has allowed him to occupy the premises rent free for the past six or seven years sooner than disturb “Daddy” who had all an Irishmans love for his heartstone, and wanted to die where he had lived for so long. For the last 12 years the deceased has been incapacited from active duties, and during the last six years he has been practically laid up. He was visited by Mr William Kennedy and others yesterday, and seemed so hale and cheerful as usual, and was conscious up to the time of his death. His last words ware to the old lady who has been attending to his wants— "Cover me now — pull the clothes over me. It will be the last time I'll ask you." From these remarks it would appear that Daddy " was conscious of the end approaching. His diet for the past 12 yean nag been very plain, consisting of but one meal a day— potatoes and milk and now and then a little meat— with a cup of tea in the morning and a glass of milk in the evening. Very little in the way of liquor has passed his lips during that period, though for a great number of years previously with his cart and horse and the old dog , on his way home he called regularly at the old "Anchor" Hotel, now the "Commercial" for his glass. “Daddy” has outlived most of his sons and daughters though we believe he has a daughter alive in Auckland. He has five grandsons and a grand-daughter in Wanganui|, and a number of grand and great grand children and in other parts of the colony. Up to the time that the infirmities of old age kept him a prisoner, there was no more familiar figure in Wanganui than “Daddy”; and it is said that he has followed more funerals during his lifetime than any other two persons put together. It was not an unusual sight, to see the old man, the only mourner, following perhaps the mortal remains from the hospital of one who died uncared-for and unknown, 'and being too tired to go on foot the long walk to the cemetery, time and again he has been picked up by the driver who bad charge of the vehicle with the coffin, The old man's wish has come at last, he having frequently expressed a desire to be taken home, and Wanganui’s second old settler -Mr Sheriff having celebrated his 95th birthday only a day or two ago— has gone the way of all flesh. The funeral is arranged to take place on Thursday at 8p.m.

The Irish Catholic, of March 16, reports the baptism by the Rev. Father Treacy, of Sioux city, lowa. U.S., of some twelve converts. This, says our contemporary, makes about thirty-five conversions and baptisms of adults since Father Treacy went there about fifteen months ago. Father Treacy, we may add, is brother to the Rev. P. Treacy, of Geraldine, Canterbury, and has also a brother who is a parish priest in the diocese of Limerick, Ireland.

Friday's West Coast; Times says— W- Harris, formerly well-known as the proprietor of the accommodation house that bears his name, situated on the Christchurch road, was brought to town by Constable Baker yesterday charged with attempting to murder a man named Thomas Tracey. From the facts which we have been able to gather it appears that Tracey was at one time working for Harris at the accommodation house and the latter blamed him for his domestic Infelicity and they frequently quarrelled in consequence. Harris seems to have brooded over the affair and it is alleged that on boxing day he went to Tracey's hut and assaulted him. On Tuesday last he again went to him and struck him on the back of the head with a large st me, fracturing his skull. Tracey was taken to the Kumara hospital, where lie now lies in a very precarious condition, but he is perfectly rational and in view of the injuries resulting fatally his depositions have been taken. Harris will be brought up at the R M Court, Kumara, on Wednesday, the 11h inst.

It appears that Tracey, who is a stevedore, loft Melbourne for Now Zealand some time ago in search of employment, leaving his wife and family behind. Recently, however, his spouse reached Wellington with Travors, and came to Masterton. It was for the alleged larceny of enlarged photographs of Tracey and other articles of his belonging. that Travers was arrested. Ho was brought before a J.P. and remanded till Friday.

29 April 1893 Poverty Bay Herald

A painful domestic drama is now being investigated by the police at Wellington. John Tracey and his wife kept a boarding house in Melbourne. The venture was not sufficient to support them and their children, so Tracey came to New Zealand to find employment. He found it, but in the meantime received word that a man named John Travers was making himself rather free in the Melbourne boarding house. Tracey immediately made arrangements for bringing his wife and family to Wellington, and forwarded passage money, etc., at the time providing a home in Grainger street for his family. Travers, however, with the connivance of the woman, travelled under an assumed name on the same steamer, but the wife and family of Tracey arrived without this fact being known to him. A few days afterwards, while Tracey was at work, Travers made the woman pack up furniture and everything in the house, and with them took her and the furniture off to Masterton. Tracey, who is much "cut-up" over the affair, was immediately advised to communicate with the police, with the result that Travers has been arrested at Masterton for larceny, and will most probably be tried at Wellington in a few days.

Found Drowned.

The body of an elderly man named Joseph James Tracey was found about 5.30 last evening on the river bank just below Mrs Duncan's, on the Sedgobrook side, by Mr William Symes, of Eastown. The body was lying face downwards, and was close to high water mark, evidently washed up by the incoming tide. The deceased, who lived on the sandhill behind the foundry, waa last seen about 11.15 on Saturday night by a man named William Ryan. The latter met Tracey at the Fountain, and at his request directed him along the Quay as far as Brennan's Hotel. He appeared to have had a little drink, and was evidently a bit mixed. On parting with Ryan, Tracey said he could get along all right now. It is surmised that the unfortunate man must have lost his way, and either wandered on to the reclaimed land or on to the beach the other side of Churton's Creek and fallen into the river, and his body taken up the stream by the strong flood tide of the past few days. The deceased was well known to old residents of Wanganui, and during the last few years had been employed by the Corporation in attending to the rubbish heap. About a fortnight ago he was sued by his wife [Agnes Tracey] for maintenance, but as the plaintiff did not appear to support her claim the information was dismissed. An inquest is proceeding as we go to press, [Since writing the above we are informed by Mr T Tracey. a son of the deceased, that he saw his father on Taupo Quay on Monday afternoon.]

Tracey, observing the accident, immediately rushed into the water and pulled two young girls out, when he observed the youngest child floating down a swift running current. Without thought of danger to himself he swam out and resound the little one, who would have found a watery grave had it not been for Tracey's presence of mind.

And there so fair, free from sorrow and care, You are waiting to welcome us home.

4 September 1920 Ellesmere Guardian

Retiring. CONSTABLE TREACY LEAVING DISTRICT. Constable D. [Denis] Treacy. of Leeston, who has devoted 4l years of his life to the service of his country in the capacity of a guardian of the peace, put aside the "uniform of " blue" for good on Tuesday night last, and has retired from the force m superannuation. He has been granted three months' leave on cull pay. The residents of the Leeston police district will bid Mr Treacy good-bye with feelings of keen regret. He has been; stationed at Leeston for the last ten years, and during that time has proved himself a worthy citizen, as, well as an efficient and conscientious officer—probably the most conscientious police constable who has ever had charge of the Leeston district. It is no reflection upon any of his predecessors to make this, 3laim concerning Mr Treacy, for he has performed his duties with a ' degree of thoroughness, discretion and tact that could not well be expected of every police officer. It seems to be a popular supposition that it is an easy matter to perform the duties that devolve upon a guardian of the peace. It is nothing of the kind. The position, especially in the case of one in charge of a district, calls for the exercise of both tact and discretion in a marked degree. Many men fail to achieve success in the force because of laxity, lack of discretion, or an inclination to become too officious. The court records show a substantial decrease in both criminal and civil business since Mr Treacy took charge. A man with a very big heart, he never turned a deaf ear to any appeal made for a worthy cause. Although he showed neither fear nor favour in the discharge of his duties, he was always sympathetic to anyone overtaken by misfortune and invariably put in a plea for leniency on behalf of persons before the court if he thought they were the victims of misfortune. It would be interesting to know how many times Mr Treaey has paid fines out of his own pocket. A taste for adventure, and a desire to see the country induced him to join the Armed Constabulary in 1879, when troubles arising out of the Maori war were frequent in the North Island. He joined the police in 1891 and has served at Dunedin, Port Chalmers, Arrowtown, Clinton and Leeston. Some time ago Mr Treaey acquired some land in the North Island. The venture, his friends will be pleased to hear, has turned out very successful and it is his intention to remove to the north very shortly. Mr and Mrs Treacy and family will carry with them the sincere good wishes of their Ellesmere friends. Until a successor is appointed the Leeston police district will be under the control of Constable Moriarty, of Southbridge, who is well known as a capable police officer.

James St. Martin Tracey (1897 Kimberley SA – 1939 Auckland NZ) [see South Africa]

New Zealand and Australian heavyweight champion

 

Born 22 May 1897 Kimberley, Western Cape, South Africa. Died 3 October 1939, age 42, occupation, "physical culturist", burial at the Waikumete Cemetery, Auckland.

 

10 July 1920 Observer p.9 (NZ) Boxing - Jim Tracey's Knock-out

Jim Tracey, who holds the New Zealand professional heavyweight championship and outpointed Albert Lloyd the Australian heavyweight champion in the Town Hall some weeks ago, has been resting quietly lately, and as the genial Jim is a man of remarkable active habits, enquiries were set afoot to ascertain the reason of Jim's prolonged disappearance.

Many rumours were afloat, but it was only the other day that the writer ascertained the reason for Jim’s  absence from his usual haunts. It appears that he has received a knock-out, a solar plexus hit at that—an irrecoverable blow—to fistic ambitions. He has fallen a victim to the wiles and winsomeness of a charming maid, who has clearly outpointed Jim. Yes, he has become engaged to Miss Pauline O'Connor, daughter of Mr. T.B. O'Connor, the famous Aukland forward, who made football history in the 80's...he intends settling in Auckland and will shortly take over the management of the Thames Hotel.  As an athlete, Tracey has made hosts of friends for his straightness, and in business his popularity and success are assured. In the boxing arena Tracey has had a really remarkable career. As one of Fritz Holland s most apt pupils at the early age of 18, he was fighting opponents much more matured than himself, with astonishing pluck, endurance, and cleverness. He started boxing as sparring partner to Milburn Saylor, Eddie MeGoorty, and the famous world-beater, Les D'Arcy. The latter thought a lot of his long sparring partner. Tracey has had an adventurous career. He spent most of his early life in South Africa, where his father was killed fighting against the Boers. An elder brother was wounded in the same campaign. Jim has had no end of short bout wins to his credit, and early in his career he was looked upon as the forthcoming Australian heavyweight. In Australia he first fought Snowy Smiles, and beat him in three rounds. He next fought Frank Mars, the American. Thhe first he lost, but the return battle was his all the way. With Widders he fought a draw in the first clash, but gained the decision on the second. He next met and defeated Erne Valle, of Sydney, in ten rounds. His first big battle was against George Brewer, whom he defeated on points after 20 rounds. Three nights after he faced Larry Foran. and though he sustained three broken ribs, he won a point's decision

At Brisbane he met Bill Walker, heavyweight champion, and after a keenly-fought contest he accounted for Walker in the 12th round. Returning to Sydney, he beat Jack D'Arcy, the N.S.W. heavyweight. Later "he met George Cook, and after a great fight earned the decision. Tracey was next matched against Tom McMahon, who enjoyed the distinction of beating Jess Willard, of Young Town, nine months prior to the latter defeating Jack Johnson to: the world's championship. The match between McMahon and Tracey went the full 20 rounds. Tracey next took part in a sensational fight with Colin Bell. After 17 rounds of fast fighting the bout was stopped. Though the decision was given to Bell, its accuracy was questioned in many quarters, and moreover Tracey was not up to his usual fighting standard. Since then he has fought several great battles in New Zealand, notably with Pooley, Clabby, and  Lloyd, and in every contest he has shown untiring aggressiveness, speed, and cleverness. Besides a wonderful capacity to assimilate punishment, Jim stands 6ft. 4in, and is now only 23.5 years of age, so he has had a phenomenal ring career, fighting many torrid battles, and to-day holds both the New Zealand and Australian heavyweight championships.

Owen Vincent Tracey

Born in Dunedin on March 15th 1915, Owen Vincent Tracey learned to fly privately at the Otago Aero club and obtained his 'A' licence in early 1937. He made several applications for a short service commission in the RAF and was finally accepted in April 1939. He sailed for the UK on June 27th. Tracey began his elementary flying training at 19 E&RFTS Fairoaks on August 8th. He went to 3 ITW, Hastings on October 9th and moved on to 3 FTS South Cerney on the 21st. At the end of the course he was posted to HQ Reserve Command for an instructors course. On May 29th 1940 Tracey went to 6 OTU Sutton Bridge and after converting to Hurricanes he joined 79 Squadron at Biggin Hill on July 6th.

He claimed a He111 destroyed on August 15th, a He111 probably destroyed and a Me109 damaged on the 28th, a He111 destroyed on the 30th, a Do17 destroyed on the 31st and a Do17 destroyed on September 1st.

Tracey was sent to No 1 PDC, Bournemouth on January 29th 1941 for overseas preparation. He embarked for the Middle East on March 4th and joined 274 Squadron in the Western Desert on April 5th. He destroyed a Ju52 over Crete on May 26th and was then chased by a Me109. Tracey dived steeply and pulled out but the pursuing enemy fighter did not and crashed into the sea. On the 29th he shared in destroying a Ju88. On August 26th Tracey was appointed a Flight Commander.

When the squadron was engaged in the Sidi Rezegh area on December 1st he saw one of 274's Hurricanes go down and make a forced landing. Tracey landed, picked up the pilot, Lieutenant Hoffe of the SAAF, and successfully carried him back to base.

274 Squadron was detailed to give top cover to Blenheims bombing 5 miles south-west of El Adem on December 8th 1941. Over the target enemy fighters were seen and 274 turned towards them. Other enemy fighters joined in and 274 was heavily outnumbered. Tracey was shot down by a Mc200. His Hurricane turned over at low level and dived into the ground 5 miles south of El Adem, bursting into flames. Sometime later some South African soldiers reported finding a grave beside the wrecked Hurricane. On the cross was a flying helmet and Tracey's identity discs. Tracey was awarded the DFC on 6th October 1942 with effect from 7th December 1941. After the war his remains were re-interred in Halfaya Sollum War Cemetery.
