DescriptionAunt Polly’s Memories of Seventy Summers at Te Puna” is a reminiscence recorded in 1950 by M.A. Hogarth about Maryanne Elizabeth Armstrong (1867–1954), one of the earliest Pākehā settlers at Te Puna. Drawn from her recollections, it provides both personal biography and community history, documenting the Armstrong family’s migration from Kerry in 1879 and their role in the development of Te Puna over seven decades.
Caution, seems to conflate Margaret Eleanor Armstrong with Mary Humphreys.
