Private W. E. Gooding, of Featherston, died in the Greytown Hospital on Saturday morning as the result of injuries sustained in a motor accident on Tuesday last. It appears that he, with his brother Charles, was returning from the Medical Board and was going to see his sister, Mrs H. Wenham, South Featherston, when on crossing from one side of the road to the other on account of the new metal on the road, the car skidded and overturned. The deceased was pinned by the windscreen, the glass penetrating the left hip and holding him down. Charles Gooding, the driver, had his right arm broken. Both were conveyed to the Greytown Hospital, where they received immediate attention. It was noticed from the start that the case of Private W. E. Gooding was very serious and although the best of attention was given. he passed away as recorded above. He was the fourth son of the late Mr Jacob Gooding, of Western Lake and was 36 years of age. He had only returned from the Front about three weeks ago, after an absence of over two years, having left with the 19th Reinforcements.
He is buried Plot 34 at Featherston

GOODING - In loving remembrance of Walter, dearly beloved brother of Charles and Alice Gooding, died March 19 1919. Result of accident.
Sadly we miss him, but yet in our sorrow,
Hope for the future has lightened the pain;
Faith points the way to a brighter tomorrow,
And whispers the hope we'll meet him again
