She was married in 1858 to Mr Thomas Allely and a year after, Mr and Mrs Allely left for Western Australia where they resided several years. They then returned to Ireland, but after a year at Home they were induced to try New Zealand on account of Mrs Allely's health, as she found the climatic conditions of Ireland too severe. At that time Mr Geo Vesey Stewart's special settlement scheme was just being initiated and Mr Allely decided to become one of the settlers and landed with his family in Auckland on the day that Mr G V Stewart was leaving to bring the first party out. Mr Stewart advised Mr Allely to make Tauranga his headquarters till he came back and here the family have resided since the year 1874. Deceased was of a retiring disposition, very devoted to the education and training of her family. She has high ideals of what a Christian should be, always ready to hep a neighbour and never lacking in true Irish hospitality. That her efforts were not in vain may be gauged from the fact that the whole family of five sons and three daughters have all won their way in business and professions, and their devotion to duty must have been highly gratifying to both parents in their old age. The late Mrs Allely enjoyed good health up till about twelve months ago since when had been more or less an invalid. She is survived by her husband . five sons, three daughters and eighteen grandchildren. The eldest grandson, Mr Calvert Allely is now in England and is engaged as an engineer in the auxiliary motor patrol service.

In September, 1918, Mr and Mrs Baker celebrated their golden wedding. Deceased is survived by her husband and four daughters, for whom the greatest sympathy will be felt in their bereavement.

BARROW A feeling of profound regret was evinced on Saturday when it became known that Mr Charles Barrow, a well-known and highly esteemed settler, had succumbed at an eariy hour that morning to the prevailing epidemic. Mr Barrow had complained on Monday morning last of feeling unwell, and on the advice of his medical adviser, had gone to bed, but unfortunately his condition gradually became worse, and he passed away peacefully at the time stated. The deceased gentleman, who was 71 years of age at the time of his death, had an interesting career. He was one of the first Europeans born in Wellington, having first seen the light of day in what now is the capital city of New Zealand as far back as 1848, his parents having arrived by the Aurora, one of the first ships. At the age of 18 young Barrow joined Captain Buck's cavalry troop, and took part in the Taranaki campaign against the Maoris. At the battle of Te Ngutu-O-Te Manu, where Captain Buck and Major von Tempsky fell, he was despatch rider for the former officer. At the time of the Te Whiti trouble Mr Barrow was manager of the Tokaora Estate, and took an active part in quelling the incipient rebellion. Later on he settled in Hawera, where, in 1879, he married. In 1881 he removed to Otakeho, being one of the first to take up land on the Waimate Plains. Here he resided until 1902, when he came to the Bay of Plenty, and took up a farm on No. 1 Road, Te Puke, where he lived until a short time ago, when he disposed of the property, and settled in the township. Mr Barrow took a keen interest in stock-raising, and was regarded as an excellent judge of draught horses, a class which he judged at numerous Shows throughout the North Island. During his residence in this district, he took an active part in the affairs of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association, and was also, for some time, a member and chairman of the Road Board. A genial and good-hearted man, he will be much missed by all who knew him. He leaves a widow and five sons - Alec (who lives at Raetihi), Douglas, Graham, Walter, and Angus. Another son, Norman was killed in France. The funeral took place to-day, and was attended by a concourse of mourners. The service at the graveside was conducted by the Rev. Thos. Scott.

BIRD - THE PASSING OF AN OLD SETTLER. The death of Mrs Sarah BIRD, which took place at Paengaroa last week removed one who had passed through all the trials and hardships that were inseparable from the lives of the early pioneers. The deceased lady was born in Canada, where she married, and arrived at Port Lyttelton in the early sixties by the good ship Mermaid. Conveyances being decidedly scarce in those days, she had to walk over the Port Hills to Christchurch. From Christchurch she went to a station in North Canterbury, the means of transit being a bullock dray. From here she proceeded to Geraldine, the journey, in which a bullock dray was again used, occupying twelve days. After living at the latter place for a number of years, she came to the North Island and settled at Katikati, and later removed to No. 2 Road, Te Puke. Here she made the first bread offered for sale in the district, the 'staff of life' being baked in camp ovens. The late Mrs Bird was widely known and highly respected in the early days. Since then she has lived a retired and useful life. Her husband, who was for some time a member of the Te Puke Road Board, died in 1900. She leaves a family of three sons and one daughter (Mrs. J. Mc. Ghie), 39 grandchildren, and 33 greatgrandchildren, Three grandsons are at the front in France, and one was killed at Galiipoli. The funeral, which took place on Saturday, was largely attended.

CHAPMAN - SAD DROWNING FATALITY AT THE PAPAMOA BEACH. Quite a gloom pervaded the community last evening when it became known that Mr Harold Chapman, the only surviving son of the Rev. J. W. and Mrs Chapman had lost his life whilst bathing. From the details to hand, it appears that the deceased lad, with his sister, Miis Mollie Chapman, were spending the day at the Papamoa beach with some friends. In the afternoon several of the young men present — P. and S Vercoe, E Morton, Garland, A. Snodgrass, and H. Chapman went in for a swim. Garland and Snodgrass went out the furthest, Chapman being behind them, a little to the left, the others being nearer the shore. The two former were enjoying themselves in the breakers, when they heard a cry for help, and on looking round saw Chapman apparently in difficulties. They hastened to his assistance, and found him helpless. They caught hold of him, and endeavoured to bring him to land, but a strong tide was running, and they could make no progress. Several times they lost their hold, and they were becoming increasingly exhausted with the struggle. At length Chapman slipped from their grasp and disappeared, and the would be rescuers, realising that they were in danger of losing their own lives, had to make for for the shore, which they reached with difficulty. Another attempt to reach the spot where Chapman had sunk was made by Garland and Morton, but they could make no headway in the heavy sea, and were forced to give up. An attempt was then made on horseback, but with the same result, News of the fatality was brought into town by Mr Morton, and the Rev. Chapman, Dr Mac. Farlane, and Constable Stackpoole proceeded to the scene of the tragedy. No trace of the unfortunate lad, however, was to be found. Parties also patrolled the beach throughout the night in the hope of recovering the body, but without success. Needless to say the deepest sympathy is felt with Mr and Mrs Chapman and family in the loss they have sustained. A splendid type of young manhood, the deceased youth, who was nineteen years of age, excelled in all manly sports. He was a fine boxer, footballer, and tennis plaver, being also secretary of the local Tennis Club. For the past twelve months he had been a member of the staff of the Bank of New Zealand, He was popular, with all who knew him, and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends. Te Puke Times 2 April 1918, Page 2 LATE DROWNING FATALITY RECOVERY OF DECEASED'S BODY. A feeling of great relief was experienced on Saturday night when it became known that the body of Harold Chapman, who was recently drowned at the Papamoa Beach had been recovered. It was felt that this would tend to alleviate to some extent the distress and anxiety of the bereaved relatives. Since Easter Monday the residents of Papamoa had taken it in turns to patrol the beach daily, but without success, until Saturday afternoon, when the body of deceased was discovered by Mr F.A. Turner. It was at once brought into town, and on Sunday morning an enquiry regarding the fatality was held by the Coroner, Mr C.Lally. Evidence was given by Messrs Turner, Phillip Vercoe, Ernest Morton, Archie Snodgrass, and Dr Mac. Farlane, but no new facts were disclosed. The Coroner found That the said Harold Gordon Chapman, on the 1st day of April, 1918, in the sea near Papamoa Beach, was accidentally drowned. No blame was attachable to anyone. The funeral, which took place in the afternoon, was one of the largest that has been seen in the district, mourners being present from far and near. Prior to the cortege leaving for the cemetery, a most impressive service was conducted in St. John's Church by Archdeacon Tuke of Tauranga, who also read the burial service at the graveside. He was assisted by the Rev. Turuturu Ngaki.

EARLE LOSES HIS LIFE - A distressing accident, resulting in the death of Mr Henry John Earle, son of Mr and Mrs A. G. Earle, is reported from Otumoetai. It appears that on Tuesday afternoon, Mr Earle, junr., who recently arrived from the South Island, and who had just purchased Mr James Paterson's farm at Te Puke left his parents' house with his gun intending to shoot a hare. A report was heard shortly afterwards, but no particular notice was taken of it.

Deceased was a married man and leaves a wife, and two children.

FAULKNER Accidentally killed on the launch Farina on August 7th, 1917, Captain John Daniel Faulkner, aged 59 years. Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XLV, Issue 689, 8 August 1917, Page 2 A TRAGIC END - Very great regret was expressed locally when the news reached Te Puke that Mr J. D. Faulkner, master of the wellknown launch Farina, had met with a fatal accident on Tuesday morning. It appears that the vessel left the Town Wharf for the Mount at the usual time, half past nine. As she was turning the north-eastern corner of the Railway Wharf she apparently came in contact with a projecting headstock on the wharf which crashed through the glass screen immediately in front of the helm and struck Mr Faulkner, crushing the top of his head against the inner partition. Mr Robert Faulkner, who was driving the launch, immediately went to his father's assistance, but death was instantaneous. The body was taken back to Tauranga, where an inquest was held. The following verdict was returned - That the deceased met his death by accidentally coming into contact with a dangerous headstock projecting from the railway wharf, and the jury adds a rider that steps should be taken to remove this danger. The late Mr Faulkner, who was 59 years of age. was born in Tauranga, and had conducted a ferry service to the Mount for many years past. He was most highly respected, and his untimed death is to be much deplored. 1917/279 Faulkner John Daniel 59Y Te Puke Times, 10 August 1917, Page 3, Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XLV, Issue 689, 8 August 1917, Page 3 and Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XLV, Issue 689, 8 August 1917, Page 3, and Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XLV, Issue 6897, 10 August 1917, Page 3

FOX The tangi over the remains of the late Major Fox (Te Pohika Taranui) is proceeding at Maketu and several hundred Natives have already assembled there. The remains of the late chief will not be interred for some days yet as the arrival of some close relatives has to be awaited; the body will then be placed in a family burying place adjoining the deceased's large carved whare. Among those whose presence is now awaited are a cousin and aunt of the deceased, Katerina Te Kaho (Mrs D Asher), and her mother Rahera Te Nia, for whom the deceased always entertained a high regard. A part of Natives arrived here on Wednesday night to secure a large quantity of gunpowder which arrived for them by steamer and will be used in keeping up the firing of frequent salutes during the mourning ceremonies. It is said there has been nothing like the firing heard during the last few days, since the sanguinary battle at Te Tumu. Capt Mair who holds the Cross for distinguished bravery in the field in the Te Kooti raids, is assisting largely in the arrangements on behalf of Government, as it is desired to show marked respect to the memory of the deceased loyal chief, who like Major Kepa, (Wanganui), Major Wahawaha, (East Cape), Henare Te Pukuatlia, (Rotorua), and other loyal Arawa chiefs assisted greatly in saving the lives of settlers from the bloodthirsty followers of the arch-murderer Te Kooti.

FRASER It was our mournful duty to announce in an extra yesterday the demise of another of our gallant officers. Lieutenant-colonel James Fraser died at Tauranga on the 10th instant of a low typhoid fever, after an illness of 14 days. We purpose giving a short account of his services, which have been so valuable to the colony. James Fraser was of Scottish origin, being descended from the Lovat family. His parents settled in Canada and in course of time he entered her Majesty’s service as an ensign in the 73rd Regiment; with it he served in India during the Mutiny — for some time as adjutant of a wing of the regiment. On his return home, being anxious for active service he sold out with a view of joining the Federal army, but eventually came to New Zealand. In August 1864 he was appointed captain of military settlers in Napier. In October of that year Mr Volkner was murdered at Opotiki and a general rising took place along the East Coast. At that time the whole military force of the country was employed on the West Coast under General Cameron and with the exception of the force at Tauranga there were no Imperial troops on the East Coast. These were not moved and the work had to be done by the colonial forces. Mr Mc. Lean sent Captain Biggs off with thirty men to Waiapu and Fraser volunteered to join him. He accordingly embarked with sixty men and began his career of success. A series of skirmishes occurred before he was enable with the help of Morgan and his tribe to attack on Pakairomiromi. He led the attack in person, being the first man in the pa and getting his cap shot off. The rebels here suffered very heavily. Shortly afterwards he invested Pukemaire, a pa believed to be impregnable, but after hard fighting in the trenches, finding themselves in imminent danger, the Hauhaus evacuated the place, and retired to an interior fortress in Hick’s Bay. Biggs, his companion in arms, followed up with vigour, supported by Fraser, and the result was the surrender of 500 rebels. Immediately after this he was ordered to Poverty Bay, and here his soldierlike talents shone forth. He led not only the enemy but his own people to believe he intended to attack Pukeameonga. On this hill the hauhaus entrenched themselves strongly and Fraser, by a night march, left them on his left and attacked Wairangahika (a pa built close by the bishop’s house). The fighting here for two days was very severe and many lives were lost; but the upshot was that the enemy were defeated again with very heavy loss. Wairoa was the next scene of operations, and in concert with Ropata, Fraser invaded the Urewera country and chased the enemy right up to the Waikaremoana lake and fought him at Onepoto. Subsequently, on the occasion of a Hauhau attack on Napier in 1866 he intercepted one column of the enemy at Petane and defeated it with slaughter. The results of his campaign on the East Coast may be briefly summed up; 1,800 natives submitted and prisoners. 600 stand of arms taken — besides those destroyed. Several strongholds captured. Upwards of 200 of the enemy actually buried by us, with loss and casualties on our side only 31. For these services he was promoted to a Majority and appointed RM. On the formation of the Armed Constabulary Major Fraser received the command of No 1, the mounted division for Opotiki, and for the next eighteen months was constantly in the field. After taking his share in several expeditions into the Urewera country, including the skirmishes up the Waimane and capture of Otara and Te Ponga, was placed in garrison at Whakatane, until the news of Te Kooti’s landing again put him on the move. Prevented by stress of weather from reaching Colonel Whitmore in time for his advance he yet caught him up and was hotly engaged at the fight at Ruaheturi where he gallantly covered the retreat. It was shortly after this that his division was removed to the West Coast — a removal which occasioned much dispute in the House. He assumed command at Patea, when things were in a fearful state and his presence and decision quelled a mutiny, which might have had more serious circumstances. From this he was again brought round to the East Coast and assisted in the operations previous to and at the fall of Ngatapa. The position he held there was the most difficult of all and the indomitable pluck of himself and his men drove back under great disadvantages every sortie of the enemy. He was mentioned in despatches and promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel. From Poverty Bay round again to Whanganui was the next move. His was the nearest division to the enemy at Taruangaika. He was engaged in the marches and skirmishes consequent. He was prevented by sickness from taking part in the action at Otauto, but joined his division in time to start on a march round Mount Egmont. While on this march he was seized with an epileptic fit, which necessitated his being sent back to Patea. Joined again at Waitara and came round to East Coast once more. His division formed part of the centre column under Colonel St John in the march up the Urewera county and he specially distinguished himself by the coolness with which he led his men at the taking of Tatahoata pa. He remained with his division on the Rangitikei till the force was broken up, when No 1 went to Tauranga. On the remodelling of the Constabulary he was appointed to this district and in its command he died. Captain Fraser was emphatically an officer and a gentleman. He had a very good eye for ground and knew how to handle his men. A cool brave man he was enabled during the hottest fire to take advantage of every opening which was left to him. Where dash was required he led the way himself and had many a narrow escape. Wherever the report of his death reaches in New Zealand there will be found some old fellow soldier of his to reverence his memory. To say that his brother officers and men deeply regret his loss is using merely a common place phrase. They lament his untimely death and feel true grief. The country can follow their example as in the list of gallant and public spirited officers who have lost their lives while loyally doing their duty, none has deserved more than James Fraser.

He leaves a widow to mourn his loss, a married son settled at Katikati, and one daughter married to Mr Bruce Killen, eldest son of Mr John Kiilen, of Katikati, who has been occupied in pastoral pursuits in Australia upon his uncle's extensive sheep run in New South Wales, his almost needless to state that the greatest sympathy is felt here for the surviving members of deceased's family.

MANGAN Amongst those who have died of wounds received in the firing line in France, the name of James MANGAN is mentioned on July 31st. Deceased was well known in this district, having arrived from the Homeland some years ago, and was in the employ of Mr. J. Palmer at Maketu, now of Tauranga. Subsequently he was with Mr. H. Graham, and also in the service of the County Council. The late James Mangan was amongst the first batch of heroes to enlist in Te Puke, and passed safely through the Gallipoli campaign. A few weeks before his death he was fortunate in obtaining a week's leave of absence to visit his parents in England. Deceased, who was a fine type of Britain's Manhood, and who was held in high esteem by all who knew him, has three brothers at the present time serving their King and country, one of whom was amongst General Townsend's gallant band of heroes, and in the meantime is a prisoner in Turkey. The sympathy of the people of Te Puke district is tendered to the sorrowing parents in the Homeland, whose brave son has given his life for the Empire's cause.

MANGAPOWHATU We learn that Mangapowhatu, the oldest chief probably in New Zealand, died a few days ago at his residence at Te Karete, near Te Puna. This venerable old native chief was one who, amid all the native troubles of the last quarter of a century, has remained loyal and faithful to the crown and the government of the colony, though sometimes almost entirely deserted by his tribe, the Pirirakau, who on their part became contaminated with the spirit of rebellion and wild infatuations of those natives by whom they ‘were then surrounded. This old patriarchal chief must have been considerably over 100 years old and could until recently, before his memory failed, vividly describe the arrival of Captain Cook in Tauranga and the dread experienced by the Maoris then in approaching the boats. Some years ago, when Mr Sheehan was Native Minister, he was anxious to see this venerable old chief and called here and had a long interview with him. The major part of the tribe are away at the gumfields, but will return shortly and hold a great tangi. Bay of Plenty Times, 8 Jul 1884

Cocq —who lives next door, and had mentioned during the morning that he had not seen Mr Moon about looked over the fence and saw him lying in the orchard near his barrow. He concluded he was dead, and immediately communicated with the Police. Constable Skinner went out and found that deceased had apparently died just after reaching the orchard on Thursday afternoon. The body was removed to the house, where an inquest was held this morning before the Coroner, Mr T. E. Price. Evidence was given by Mrs Eyre and Mr Le. Cocq on the lines indicated above, and Dr. Cattel, who made a post mortem examination, certified that death was due to advanced fatty degeneration of the heart. A verdict was returned accordingly.

MURPHY A sad fatality occurred at Matata last Tuesday, when a little girl, nine years of age, named Olive Murphv, daughter of Mr Edward Murphy, of Rotorua was drowned.

She could not swim and-the other children were unable to render her any assistance. When they saw her sink they fetched some boys, who were bathing a few hundred yards away, and one of these got her out, but life was extinct, and efforts at restoring animation proved futile. The child whom she wont to assist managed, to scramble out of the hole. An inquest was held on Wednesday before Mr Burt, Acting-Coroner, and a verdict of accidentally drowned was returned.

MURPHY It is with deep regret that we have to chronicle the death of Mr D. Murphy, who passed away at the residence of his sister, Mrs Robert Bell, at 1 o'clock yesterday.

Having been badly gassed while on active service, the patient's chances of recovery were considerably lessened, as he had not the strength to fight against the disease. A sad feature in connection with Mr Murphy's death is the fact that he was to have been married shortly. Much sympathy is felt with his fiancee and with Mrs Bell. The body was taken through to Cambridge for interment. Te Puke Times 5 December 1919, Page 2 The death occurred at Te Puke yesterday of Lance-Corporal Daniel Murphy,D.C.M.

He was taken to the Cottage Hospital as soon as possible after fruitless efforts had been made to staunch the flow of blood. He died soon after admission, the doctor certifying that he died from the bursting of a varicose vein. The incident shows (says the Chronicle) how useful knowledge of first aid is to everyone. To stop the effusion of blood a rough torniquet was fastened above the seat of the trouble by an onlooker with the best of intentions. This would have been all right for an artery, but not for a vein in which the blood is going back to the heart. The bandage should been on the other side of the hurt. Further the flow could have been stopped by holding the leg in the air and pressing a finger on the vein. Te Puke Times 17 August 1920, Page 2

PEMBERTON Before the Borough Council proceeded to business on Monday night, Cr Brown moved that a letter of sympathy be forwarded to Cr Pemberton, expressing the Council's condolence with him in the loss he has sustained by the death of his son, Sergeant Samuel Pemberton, at the front. Cr Brown said Sergeant Pemberton's death was a very sad loss, not only to his parents and family, but to the country. He had known him for many years and did not know of a finer type of young man. The motion was seconded by Cr Castaing aud passed in silence, all councillors standing. The late sergeant S Pemberton, who was 23 years of age, was the youngest son of Mr S Pemberton. Prior to enlisting he was employed by his father He was amongst the first to respond to the Empire's call and left Tauranga on August 13, 1914, joining the main body of the Expeditionary Force. He proceeded to Gallipoli. where he was wounded on May 1. He remained with his unit and was again wounded on May 8. He spent five months in hospital in Malta and again rejoined his unit before it proceeded to France. Apparently he escaped further injury until he was mortally wounded on September 17. The late Sergeant Pemberton was a keen athlete, and was well known as a wrestler, having taken first prize (gold medal.) as champion middle weight wrestler, at Rotorua, when he was only 18 years of age. He spent two years in the Te Puke Mounted Rifles, and later was b member of the Ye Puke Rifle Club. He joined the Territorials upon their establishment. He left New Zealand as a private, and after leaving Gallipoli was made Corporal. Soon after landing in France he was raised to the rank of sergeant.

POTTIER Funeral of Mr James Pottier’s son. Last Saturday there was a great assemblage of natives at Okimoki, Te Puna, when Francis (the infant son of James Pottier) who was drowned at Bowentown, Katikati, accidentally in a well, was conveyed to his last resting place. Immediately after two o’clock in the afternoon the large door of his grandmother’s (Pauline) tomb — the late great chieftainess of Te Puna who was married to Charles Pottier during the time of Bishop Pompalier’s French Mission here — was opened to receive her grandson’s remains, which were carried by his bereaved father. The body of the little chief was embalmed and put in two coffins and placed on top of where its grandmother lies. Both the father and grandfather stood in front of the coffins with two of their faithful friends (young Borell and Louis) inside the tomb, all the natives standing round about the tomb outside. After a while came Rebekah, the young mother of the child, accompanied by her husband’s sister, Heni, both of them dressed in deep black to the front of the tomb door and after a short pause the bereaved mother read the burial service over her son’s corpse with much solemnity in Maori. It was heart piercing to hear her when she said I commit thy body to the ground; oh thou my loving son; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust &c. The father stood over his son’s coffin and wept quietly for a quarter of an hour as did also those present. The voice of the kind old Pottier was also heard with bitter sorrow when he said to his son in French Ne pheure pas; mon fila, notre petit enfant n’est pas mort; mais il dort — Weep not, my son; our little child is not dead but sleepeth. There was a great crowd of natives among whom I noticed Elizabeth, Selina, Hemi Bidois and other members of the family. The scene was touchingly solemn and all seemed to be deeply sorry for the loss of their great chieftain’s little son. I join in sympathising deeply with our friend Pottier and his family in their bereavement and hope that the kind and merciful God who has sent the rod will soften it with blessing and comfort.

SINCLAIR On December 20th (1920) at his residence, the Camp, Duncan, the beloved husband of Martha Sinclair, aged 74. The funeral will leave deceased's late residence tomorrow, Wednesday at 2pm for the New Cemetery. It is with extreme regret that we have to announce the death somewhat suddenly shortly after six o'clock last evening of Mr D Sinclair of the Camp, who has been resident here for the past two years… The late Mr Sinclair resided for many years in the Palmerston district. Since coming here he has taken a keen and active interest in local affairs being secretary of the Tauranga Citizen's Association and also of the recently formed Beautifying Society. He was also an enthusiastic member of the Bowling Club…1920/5286 Sinclair Duncan 74Y Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XLIX, Issue 7538, 21 December 1920, Page 2 and Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XLVIII, Issue 7538, 31 December 1920, Page 2 With the death of Mr Duncan Sinclair at his residence on the Camp last week there passed away one of the few remaining links with the early history of Wellington and the Dominion. His parents arrived in Wellington in 1838, and shortly afterwards took up land at Wainui o Mata, the present locality of Wellington's main water supply. It was here that the deceased gentleman was born, and spent his early life in farming and sawmilling. He owned and sold to the Wellington City Council the site of the present reservoirs, to which he also gave access through a mile and a half of his land. The sawmill which the late Mr Sinclair ran at Wainui o Mata was one of the first in the North Island and was at that time the largest. Possessed of a foresight which was strongly characteristic of his many undertakings he early recognised the value of steel rails in the working of his mill. These he imported from England and simultaneously obtained from Hobart a steam engine which he I named the Pio Pio. The task of getting the engine from Wellington to the mill was a most formidable one —to all but its enterprising owner. By almost everyone it was declared impossible, the latter portion of the sixteen mile journey being over a very steep hill. The task was, however, safely accomplished with the aid of twelve bullocks and six horses. In 1871 Mr Sinclair was married at Wellington by the Rev. Jas. Patterson to Miss Mowlem sister of the late Captain John Mowlem (one of the pioneer skippers of the Shaw Savill and Albion Company's clippers) of Palmerston North. Captain Mowlem married Mr Sinclair's twin sister. The deceased gentleman's first move from Wainui was to Lowry Bay—just across the hill and on the shores of Wellington harbour. This estate consisting of some 584 acres — he purchased from the Government which had previously acquired it as a residence for Sir George Grey. After a short time there he moved north and went in for contracting on a large scale making Palmerston North his headquarters. Amongst the works which were constructed under his supervision were the Marton waterworks and the Apiti bridge, besides several other important undertakings. Subsequently, Mr Sinclair was appointed engineer to the Pohangina County Council, and while in this position he undertook a world tour, and was enabled to apply the knowledge gained by his extensive travel to the Council's benefit during the twelve years he was associated with that body. He was succeeded as engineer by his son, Mr Hugh Sinclair. The deceased gentleman took a keen and intelligent interest in all matters of public moment, and for some time he occupied a seat on the Palmerston North Borough Council. A keen student of nature, he was an authority on New Zealand flora, and had, besides, a remarkable knowledge of many other branches of natural history. It is interesting to note that one native plant, discovered by Mr Sinclair, bears his name. In this connection he was a valued member of the defunct Manawatu Beautifying Society, his remarkable knowledge being always avail able in the interests of the town. He rendered yeoman service in building up the local museum, many gifts he made having been found by him in exploring little known places-when engaged in valuing timber lands (a good deal of which he did for the Government) or in his many journeys over the highlands of the Pohangina County. On many occasions Mr Sinclair had found around Apiti fossilised remains of sea life. A staunch Wesleyan, he was a prominent member and lay reader of the Broad Street Methodist Church for 25 years, and regularly preached in the churches in Bunnythorpe, Ashhurst and other district townships. For many years too, he was a member of the Terrace End School Committee. In all respects he was one of nature's gentlemen, and his quiet and unassuming character earned for him the affection and goodwill of all whom he met. As already stated Mr Sinclair came here to reside some two years ago. He is survived by his widow, four sons and three daughters: Messrs Hugh and Norman (Palmerston North) Duncan (Tauranga), and Harold (Auckland), and Mesdames Louisson (Tauranga), D'Anvers (Papamoa)and W Grace (Wellington.)

SKINNER We regret to learn of the death of Constable Skinner's father, which occurred at North-east Valley, Dunedin, at an early hour this morning.

Mr Skipper and his family lived on their farm at Otamarakau, situated about twenty miles from Te Puke. On Friday morning before breakfast, he took hia gun to go out shooting, which was not an unusual occurrence. Shortly after a shot was heard, but no alarm was felt, even when he did not return to breakfast, for he would often call in at a neighbour's for a cup of tea instead of returning home. As time wore on, however, Mrs Skipper became anxious, and set out in the direction of the sound of the shot. After proceeding some distance she was horrified to observe the body of her husband lying near a fence, with his head badly shattered. Much agitated, she at once rushed away, and fortunately met Mr Quarrie of Otamarakau, who assisted to remove the body. The authorities were then notified, and an inquest was subsequentlyγ held by Mr Lally, Coroner of Te Puke. Evidence was given by Mr Burton, who saw deceased leave the house, Mr Quarrie, Dr Mac. Farlane, who testified to the nature of the injuries, and Mrs Skipper. The latter deposed that her husband had been somewhat depressed lately, but there was nothing whatever to indicate that he intended taking his life. He had not been drinking, the only stimulant he took being brandy with an egg beaten up in it, which she gave him at regular intervals. The Coroner found that deceased met his death by a gunshot wound, but that there was no evidence to show how the fatality occurred. The internment took place at the Te Puke cemetery on Saturday Te Puke Times 31 December 1917, Page 3 and Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XLVI, Issue 6957, 2 January 1918, Page 2 and Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XLVI, Issue 6958, 4 January 1918, Page 2

Deceased had been in failing health for some years. Lately his condition grew worse, but despite loving care and medical attention the end came as above stated. The late Mr Smith, who had reached the age of 73 years, was born in London, and came to New Zealand 52 years ago, taking up his residence on the West Coast of the South Island, where he lived for a long period. Subsequently, he proceeded North, settling at Te Puke, where he took up a farm on the northern end of the No 1 road and also engaged in storekeeping. While there he took a keen interest in educational matters and for a time acted as school commissioner. Over two decades ago deceased left Te Puke, and later went with his family to England, leaving again after a stay of two years for New Zealand.

TIPLER - MAKETU DROWNING FATALITY - RECOVERY OF BODY - Word was received by Constable Garvey on Sunday morning that the body, of the late Mr W. R. Tipler, who was accidentally drowned on Thursday last, had been discovered at 8 o'clock by Mr T. Best and two Maoris who had been patrolling the beach. The discovery was made at what is known as the Point, about a mile and a half from Maketu, the body, having been washed up amongst the rocks. Accompanied by the Coroner (Mr Lally) and Dr Mac. Farlane, Constable Garvey at once proceeded to Maketu. Under his supervision the body was removed from where it lay, to the township. This proved a most arduous task, the stretcher bearers having to ascend a cliff some five hundred feet high. At 2 o'clock an enquiry was held by the Coroner into the circumstances surrounding the fatality. Frank Robar gave evidence that he accompanied Tipler on a fishing trip on the 25th of March, they left between 7 and 8 a.m., and fished till about 1.30, by which time they had caught about 10 dozen fish. A wave then came and filled the boat, and a second wave overturned it throwing both the men out. They clung to the boat for about a quarter of an hour, when Tipler said, Better make for the shore. They both let go. Witness swam about a chain from' the boat, but as the tide was too strong and he was being carried out to sea, he swam back. He saw no sign of Tipler. He started to call out for help, and was rescued by a boat sent out by Mr Mc. Laughlin. Evidence was given by Mr Mc. Laughlin as to hearing cries for help and offering a Maori £2 to take his boat out to rescue Robar. Dr Mc. Farlane gave evidence that in his opinion death was due to drowning, and Mr Best gave evidence as to the finding of the body. The finding of the Coroner was as follows -'That the said Robert Walter Tipler, on the 25th day of March, 1920, in the sea near Maketu, was accidentally drowned, no blame being attachable to anyone. The interment took place in the Te Puke Cemetery during the afternoon, the Rev. J. W. Chapman conducting the burial service. Te Puke Times 26 March 1920, Page 2

VERCOE - OBITUARY - MR HENRY VERCOE. At about 3.30 on Tuesday afternoon last there passed away pioneer settler of the district the person of Mr Henry Vercoe of Fairfield, No 2 Road, whose decease removes another of the few remaining links that connect the present with the past. The late Mr Vercoe was a native of Weybridge, Cornwall, where he was born in 1835. He arrived in New Zealand in 1852, being at that time 17 years of age, and settled at Mangere, where married in 1860. In 1877 he removed to Maketu and purchased the property known as the Matai Estate. This property later passed into the hands of the Bank of New Zealand, Mr Vercoe retaining the position of manager until about 25 years ago, when he took up a farm on No 2 Road. Here he had resided ever since. Of late years his health had been much impaired, and he had had many severe illnesses, so that his death was not unexpected. He leaves a widow, four sons, and four daughters, the former being Messrs H. A. and C. Vercoe, of No. 2 Road, Mr Fred Vercoe, of the Farmers' Auctioneering Company, Te Kuiti, and Mr J. L.Vercoe of Rangiuru and the latter Mesdames F. Bostock, E. W. and P. Boucher, and C Perring. The funeral took place yesterday' afternoon, and was largely attended. The Rev. J W Chapman conducted the burial service. Te Puke Times 7 November 1919, Page 2 and Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XIVII, Issue 7264, 7 November 1919, Page 7

WILLIAMS We are being accustomed to hearing of the death at the front of those whom we would formerly see almost every day, but familiarity with the grim messsages does not lessen the sorrow of friends or assuage the grief of those bereayed, The latest to be afflicted by the ghastly war is Mr Richard Williams, who mourns the loss of his son Dick, who was killed on March 27th. To him and to Mr Thorburn, who has also received news of the death of a brother we tender our sincere sympathy. Te Puke Times , 19 April 1918, Page 2 and Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XLVI, Issue 7002, 19 April 1918, Page 2 The late Sergt-Major Williams, whose death at the front was reported in our last issue, was one of the best-known and most highly respected men in this district - a man whose loss is deplored by all who knew him. That his sterling qualities and ability were recognised by his superior officers was evidenced by rapid promotion. Enlisting as a private, he rose step by step, until he sailed from New Zealand with the rank of Sergt-Major. At Home he passed his examination entitling him to retain this rank. Desirous, however, of joining the signalling corps, he resigned, and was on duty as a signaller when he met his death. Prior to joining the army, the deceased soldier, who was the second son of Mr. Richard Williams, was engaged in farming and flaxmilling pursuits, later on, with his partner James Geraghty, he built the Alliance Hall. No man who has left this district left behind a finer reputation than Dick Williams for sterling worth and integrity, and his loss is mourned by an exceptionally large circle of friends.
