DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT.

MR. MARK DOUGLAS CURRIE

Many alti residents in the Colony will greatly regret to learn that The National City Dank of New York has received a telegram from its Head Office advising them Hat Mr. Mark Douglas Currie died yesterday.

bu

Mr. Currie was born at Bawick. Scotland, in 1883 and first came to the Colony in 1903 in the employ of the Guaranty Trust Company. in 1904, on the absorption of the Guaranty Trust Company by the. International Banking Corporation, went over to the latter bank, remaining in Hongkong for about tive years, after which he was trans ferred to Japan. After seeing ser- vice there and in Shanghai, he re to Hongkong în 198-na hero remaining Sub-Manager, transferred to New York as Asais- unter Aprii 1914 when he was

International Banking President

Upon consolidation of the latter bank with The National City Bank of New York, Mr. Currie become an assistant Vice President, which position he held until December 1929 when he was appointed a Vice President, and on the approaching- retirement of Mr. H, T. S. Green took over charge of the Far Eastern Division of The National City Bank.

During his stay in New York, he paid one or two visits to the Far East. his last visit to Hongkong being during February and March 1926.

He had beets suffering for some time past from aortitis, and it can only be presumed that it was this which caused his death. He leaves a widow and a young daughter.

Mr. Currie's cheery and genial disposition endeared him to all who came into contract with him, and his death will be felt as a great loas by his many friends all over the world, and especially by those who were associated with him on the staff of the bank.
