the Roman Catholic MOUNT STREET CEMETERY is a protected heritage site in Wellington, New Zealand (click link for more). It was the first cemetery in Wellington for Catholic burials and contains the graves of the first nuns and priests in Wellington. It remained open until 1891 although burials continued in existing family plots until 1954. The earliest surviving grave marker dates from 1851, and the latest from 1954. Although only around 200 headstones survive, it is estimated that there could have been as many as 1150 burials. Many of the early markers were simple wooden crosses, which have long since vanished

HARRIS, Walter - 21 August 1871 aged 10
5th of 10 children of Samuel Harris (1828-1888)& Amelia Watts (1829-1910)
- his body was found 3 weeks after he went missing and he was buried 15 Sep 1871
22 Aug 1871 A little boy, named Walter Harris, has been missing from his home since about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He was last seen fishing from the piles under the Queen's wharf
14 Sep 1871 INQUEST. The body of Walter Harris, who had been missing since the 22nd of August, was found this morning, near the wharf, in the sea. An inquest was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Pier Hotel, by the Coroner, Dr Johnston, when the evidence of J. A. Willett, a boy 15 years of age, was taken: He said about three weeks ago he was on board the bargue Haversham, close to the wharf, and he saw the deceased go down underneath the wharf to wash his face. He asked witness to go with him, but he would not. Witness did not see him again; he thought it was all right, and that he had gone home. Witness had been called away, and he, for the time, forgot all about him, so he did not know whether he came up or not. He heard next morning that Harris was missing. William Harris was the next witness. He said on the 21st August his nephew, Walter, who lived with him, left home between 9 and 10 o'clock, ostensibly to go to school. As he did not come home that evening, witness went to look for him on board which he knew; but he was told the boy had left there about half-past 2 o'clock with Willet. The vessel was searched by the police and other persons, but the boy was not seen since. He searched about town till four o'clock next morning. He came to the conclusion he was drowned, and he had searched all round the bays since. He heard this morning that the body was found. He identified it by the clothes and boots to be that of Walter Harris. The body was quite decomposed. The evidence of William Ashbridge as to some shout which he heard underneath the wharf on the 21st of August was given. He thought it was from some boys sky-larking down there and paid no attention to it. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental drowning" with a rider that some steps should be taken by the Provincial council to prevent boys fishing and playing under the wharf
16 Sep 1871 Misfortunes seldom come singly and an illustration of it occurred yesterday. As we stated, a child, named Delany, was run over in Willis-street, and seriously injured. It seems that the boy had been a playmate of the unfortunate young Walter Harris, who was drowned and little Delany, accompanied by his father, was going to the funeral of the deceased. The father crossed the street for an instant to speak to an acquaintance and in attempting to follow him, the boy met with his accident. About the same time that this occurred, an elder brother of the injured boy was returning from school and was severely kicked by a horse in Cuba-street, and carried home within a few minutes of his brother, both being very seriously hurt. To-day the elder boy is a little better, and will soon be round, but the younger one, over whom the wheel passed, is in a very dangerous state

1 June 1868 The funeral of Private Michael Head, of the Wellington Veteran Volunteers took place at 3 o'clock yesterday. The various companies of Rifles fell in on the Reclaimed Land at half-past two, at which time the Artillery marched up with one of their gun-carriages, which was to bear the coffin. On arriving opposite Prosser's Livery they halted to have a horse harnessed to the gun-carriage, but the animal had no sooner been fastened in than he bolted up the Beach with the gun and limber, and was finally stopped by Mr Somerville, the blacksmith, when about opposite the Club, He was then unharnessed, and as the Artillery Officers deemed it indiscreet to risk a second similar accident, the orer was given to proceed with drag ropes and the procession was formed and marched up Kumutoto street to the residence of deceased, on the Terrace. The coffin, containing the remains, was then placed on the gun-carriage and covered with the union jack, on which were laid the cap and accoutrents of the deceased, and the procession was reformed and proceeded to the Roman Catholic Cathedral, where the prayers for the dead were repeated by the Rev Father Petit Jean, who afterwards addressed to the crowded congregation a few impressive and appropriate words.

In this order the procession marched along the beach and so over the Terrace to the Roman Catholic Cemetery, the bands playing the "Sicilian Mariner's Hymn" and the "Dead March in Saul" alternately. On arrival at the cemetery the last prayers were repeated and three volleys fired over the final resting place of Private Michael Head by his comrades. The different volunteer corps then marched back to town

McArthur, S.M., district coroner, yesterday afternoon. Sergeant McCrery watched the proceedings on behalf of the police. The evidence given by Bridget Hickey, deceased's wife and Thomas Hickey, son of deceased, showed that up till Saturday night he appeared to be in good health. Deceased was an old-age pensioner and got his pension on Saturday last. He had been a labourer but for over five years had done no work. After having tea on Saturday evening deceased lay down on a sofa to take a rest. Mr Thomas Hickey went out at about 7 o'clock and on his return at 8.55 p.m. found his father still lying on the sofa. This was rather unusual, because it had been deceased's custom to go to bed early in the evening. On telling his father to go to bed, Mr T Hickey received no reply and it struck him that his father was dead. The police were communicate with and Dr McGavin was called in. The latter on his arrival examined the body and pronounced life extinct. The doctor's opinion was that death was caused by heart failure, probably due to senile decay

One feels so helpless to do anything to lighten you burden in this unusually heavy hour of trial.

HYLAND, John Patrick - 20 June 1936 aged 76

bio of Jesse Huett - AN INTERESTING CAREER
. The recent death of Mr Jesse Huett, for many years Chief Messenger in the Government Buildings, Wellington, removed an old settler who had a very interesting career.
Mr Huett was born at East Brent, Somerset, in 1824, and at the age of 12 left his home to go to sea. He was for some years on different vessels trading in the Mediterranean, having had enough of the sea, he enlisted in the 58th Regiment of Foot at Westminster in July 1842, being sent to Dublin, where the regiment was then stationed. In 1844 the regiment was sent out in detachments to New Zealand, the first to arrive being that sent from Woolwich on board the Lord Auckland, escorting some 200 prisoners to Hobart, whence they went to Sydney, and there embarked on the North Star, a 26-gun frigate, arriving at Auckland on the 24th March 1845.
They could not rest for long, as the celebrated Hone Heke was on the warpath. The detachment first came into touch with Heke at Okariti, the Maori retiring to Owaiowai, which was attacked by the 58th and other reinforcements, with great loss, on 1st July. Notwithstanding the warnings of Tamata Nana Walker, in charge of friendly Ngapuis, Hone Heke left the pa and got clear away with all his men to Ruapekapeka. The fighting which took place at the latter place was rather severe and a great deal of time was spent getting a sufficiently strong force together. Earthworks and stockades were erected withing 400 yard of the pa, and later an advanced battery was completed, 160 yards from the pa, and a breach opened in the defences on the morning of 11th January 1846. No persons were seen moving about. A few friendly natives under William Waka went forward to make observations, entered the breach unobserved and beng seen by the men in the nearest battery, another hundred troops immediately rushed up, gained the inside of the pa unobserved by the enemy also, who were sheltering on a piece of sloping ground inside, and after a short but sharp engagement the celebrated pa was captured. Considering the enormous strength of the place, the troops were to be congratulated on their achievement. The 58th,under Lieutenant-Colonel Wynyard, was among those specially mentioned. The regiment then returned to Auckland. Shortly afterwards, however, things looked bad at the Hutt and they came down to Wellington in 1846, proceeding to the Hutt.
Mr HUETT was present on the occasion of that well-known incident of our local history, when Bugler Allen of 58th, sounded the alarm, though wounded. Later Mr HUETT engaged with the rest of te regiment making the road through to Porirua and was finally in at the death when the notorious Te Rauparaha was captured.
In 1855 Mr HUETT was appointed Orderly Sergeant at Government House, Auckland to Governor Gore Brown, of who, he had many interesting reminiscences. After being in that position for over three years, he got his discharge from the army in October, 1858, after over fifteen years service. He joined the Government Service in January 1859, being first attached to the Attorney-General's office and among other duties he claimed to be the first librarian appointed by the Government, but with little to look after. He came to Wellington when the seat of Government was removed from Auckland, and finally retired from the service in 1900, being at that time assistant officer-in-charge of the Government Buildings.
He married at Auckland in January 1859, Miss Mary Graham, third daughter of Mr James Graham, of Edinburgh. His wife predeceased him some nine years, since when he has been living with his youngest daughter, Mrs W. A. Edwards, of Berhampore, who, with two other daughters, Mrs J. A. Dudson, of Carterton an Mrs W. Dudson, of Gisborne, together with twenty-one grandchildren, survive him
