25 January 1879 CHATS WITH THE FARMERS
A VISIT to Mrs KEMPSHELL'S FARM, WESTON LODGE, MAUNGATUA
... Mr Richard Arnold Kempshell, a native of Canada, was one of the pioneers who left the Dominion in 1829 for California. He had been brought up to the business of coachbuilding, and was a first-class workman, with a talent to excel in anything that he took in hand. He met with varied success in California, and when gold was discovered in Australia, he took his departure for that colony. The line of business which he selected was that of teamster, and it was congenial as he had a natural fondness for animals.
After ten years of hard work in Victoria, he married a young lady from Scotland and determined upon settling down upon a farm in New Zealand. In 1860 he arrived in Dunedin, where he remained about a month, when he purchased 175 acres of land on the West Taieri, about five miles from Outram, and was the last applicant for land at 10s per acre (2012 equivalent of about $55 per acre).
Having erected a house and fenced in a portion of the land, he determined upon stocking it with the best animals to be obtained. Mr Lee, of Woodside, was one of the few who at that time imported cows. Although good colonial cows could have been had at ?8 to ?10 per head, still Mr Kempshell offered Mr Lee ?18 per head for the pick of his herd, and at that price he puchased six or eight. He then purchased the best colonial bred shorthorn bull to be had, and not content with mere breeding for pedigree, he studied the breeding problem, and determined upon giving attention to the personal properties of the animals which he had to deal with. He came to the conclusion that the best cow for this country was one in which were combined the qualities to suit the dairyman, the grazier, or the butcher, and with this object in view, he worked upon the principle of selection (... much more at link)
... so much for the good work done for the country by Mr Kempshell, who died a little over a year ago, leaving his wife with a son and five daughters. Fortunately, the son, who is a steady, intelligent lad of 18, takes a lively interest in the farm; and more fortunate still is it for the future of the Weston Lodge herd, that in all his plans and purchases, Mr Kempshell confided in and consulted with, his wife. The dairy was in her charge, and at one time she milked sixteen cows. She had the handling of the calves, and became not only expert in their management and in the manufacture of butter, but learned quite as well as her husband how to appreciate a good point gained in breeding.
Mr Kempshell was to some extent a book farmer. Many of his leisure hours were devoted to study, and from books and agricultural papers he learned a good deal about the practice of experienced farmers. The theoretical knowledge gained of an evening, was applied to practise during the day, and thus Mr Kempshell became acquainted with the labours of the farm and the improved principles of breeding. Much of this information he took a pleasure in communicating to Mrs Kempshell, who, we shall say, was an apt scholar, for she seems to be as well acquainted with stock, and the various operations of the farm, as many old and experienced farmers with whom we have conversed. She accompanied us through the paddocks to inspect the stock, and pointed out their characteristics with all the precision of an experienced farmer. The cows were as docile as lambs, and even the great bull, Premier, allowed us to walk up and feel his beautiful coat (... more at link)


Jemima's OBITUARY
14 August 1916 - Another link in the chain of Otago's old identities has been broken by the passing of Mrs R. A. Kempshell, sen., at her old home, Western Lodge, Maungatua, the other day. She was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, being the youngest daughter of the late Captain A. A. McDonald, and granddaughter of Commander Matthews, of the Royal Navy.
After crossing the ocean twice she went with her relatives and settled in Australia, in time for the Bendigo rush. While there she met her husband, the late Mr J. A. Kempshell, a native of Canada, and a nephew of the late Sir Joseph Banks, the founder of Banks Peninsula.
They were married and came over to New Zealand in 1860, and took up land in Maungatua, where she had resided ever since, until her death.
Her first journey to the Taieri Plain was taken in a bullock dray, driven by Mr Jno Heenan, another old identity, who is still living.
Mrs Kempsell was predeceased by her husband, who was well-known as a Shorthorn breeder throughout the whole Dominion. Mrs Kempsell leaves a grown-up family of daughters and a son, who is a member of the Taieri County Council and the Taieri Drainage Board

on 17 August 1910, at Patea, Thomas Scott, beloved husband of Lily Scott, and eldest son of Mr Thomas Scott, of Wanganui; aged 27 years
20 August 1910 - A painfully sudden death occurred on Wednesday evening (report the Patea Press). A man named Thomas Scott was engaged doing some gardening work for Mr H. Priestley. Shortly after luncheon he was observed lying in a dazed condition, and was promptly removed to the hospital, where he expired at 7 p.m. the same evening. Deceased was only 26 (sic) years of age, and had been engaged for some time in this district as a well borer. A sad feature of the case is the fact that he leaves a widow and four (?) small children to mourn his untimely death. A short time ago he had an attack of influenza, and it is probable that over-exertion caused the rupture of a blood vessel on the brain. It has not been deemed necessary to hold an inquest

NOTE
Evening Post, 24 Feb 1939 HELEN STEWART BUICK
- Mrs James Buick died at her residence at Tiakitahuna last week at the age of 96. Mrs Buick could justly lay claim to having been a pioneer of the Manawatu. Born at Waiwetu on June 17 1843, she was one of the earliest children of that settlement and so far as is known, was the oldest white woman born in New Zealand. Her father, Mr David McEwen, was an engineer who came to the colony in the ship 'Bengal
Merchant' and was subsequently a member of the Wellington Provincial Government. Later he settled in the Manawatu and was the first postmaster at Karere. It was 60 years ago that he ventured north from Belmont, conveying his family in a one-horse dray which became stuck in the Ohau river and had to be hauled out by Maori. A clearing was made in the bush at Tiakitahuna, and with pit-sawn timber a house was constructed. Numbers of times the farms was swept by flood waters from the Manawatu river. Surviving sons of the deceased, who was predeceased by her husband, are; Messrs J. L. Buick (Carterton), D. Buick (Tiakitahuna), H. Buick (Johnsonville) and A. Buick (Kauwhata). Surviving daughters are Mesdames W. Edwards (Palmerston North), R. J. Seddon (Tiakitahuna), J. Carruthers (Gonville) and E. Irwin (Dannevirke)

11 September 1876 - FEATHERSTON (aged 26)
... An assault, an arrest, an escape, and a return to custody are reported by Constable Lyster, of the Upper Hutt. The chief performer in these incidents is a man named Bacon, of Masterton, who had, on the evening of the 8th, arrived at Pakuratahi from Wellington. Mr Elliott, of the Golden Fleece Hotel there, on hearing cries of "landlord" went outside, and asked the man making the voice what was the matter. Instantly the man, who proved to be Bacon, threw a large stone at Mr Elliott, striking him in the mouth, knocking out his teeth, and bruising him severely. Bacon was secured, handcuffed and kept in custody for the purpose of being brought to the police at the Upper Hutt. In the night he escaped, got as far as Featherston, and gave himself up to Constable Brunskill, still with the handcuffs on. Constable Brunskill proceeded to Pukaratahi, procured the key of the handcuffs and released Bacon, when an information was laid against him for assault, on which charge he will be brought to Wellington

? Walter COLE, contractor, was called by Mr BARTON ...
? Mr William Robinson HASTWELL's coaches ...
? Michael Thomas BURKE said that on the day of the accident he was coming from Featherston to his hut on the roadside ...
? Mr TOXWARD, stating that they would be glad to entertain any reasonable proposal of compensation for the injuries plaintiff had received ...
? Mr TRAVERS stated that he proposed to give evidence of GREENING's general skill as a driver ...
? The Hon. G. M. WATERHOUSE was then called and gave his opinion as a frequent traveller by coach, that Greening was a careful and skilful driver ...
? Charles M. BRUNSKILL, constable, stationed at Featherston, who had been a passenger on the box seat of the coach, said the speed was nothing remarkable ...
? Thomas M. BATH, civil engineer, who had also been on the box seat, said the coach on the level ground was going at about the rate of seven miles an hour ...

14 May 1877 - PALLISER BAY
... Constable Brunskill, who was sent to Palliser Bay a few days ago to search for traces of the missing schooner 'Kate Brain', which is supposed to have been wrecked, returned to Featherston yesterday. He reports that he went along the beach at Palliser Bay, but that he could find nothing to show definitely that the schoomer in question had been wrecked. He found, however, some pieces of kauri timber in which were imbedded nails of muntz metal. He also picked up the sliding cover of a companion hatch, painted white, and measuring 3? feet in length by 3 feet wide


6 June 1877 - FEATHERSTON
... Inspector Atchison received a telegram from Constable Brunskill to-day, stating that a man named George Potts was sentenced to a month's imprisonment by the Resident Magistrate at that place this morning, for having assaulted a policeman in the execution of his duty


22 April 1879 - RIMUTAKA (aged 29)
... Mr Worsdell, late assistant to Mr T. G. Mason, who recently absconded with his employer's property, was arrested on Saturday by Constable Brunskill as he was making his way on foot over the Rimutaks. He is now lodged in the Featherston lock-up, and will probably be remanded to Masterton. The Wairarapa Daily says that the culprit walked through Carterton, Greytown, and Featherston in full view of their respective constables. But the police system of the district is unfavorable to the capture of a criminal, and had it not been for a private telegram the arrest would not have taken place


13 December 1879 - FEATHERSTON
... Peter Newton, a man whose name is well known at the Resident magistrate's Court in connection with several convictions for vagrancy, larceny, and other offences, has been treating Featherston to a display of his blackguardism. A few days ago he was arrested there on a charge of vagrancy, and it was stated by the officer who brought the charge that he had found him roaming about the country in a semi-nude condition. When locked up Peter shammed being insane, and commenced tearing up his clothes. A medical man examined him, and reported that he was sane, and he was accordingly charged with the offence of vagrancy. In the dock he kept up his idiotic behavior, making grimaces and contortions. These suddenly ceased when he heard the Magistrate sentence him to three months' hard labor, and he made an offensive gesture at the Bench. On going back to the cells, he joked with the police and lamented that his little game had been "no go". This morning he was brought to Wellington by Constable Brunskill to undergo his sentence


12 April 1880 - LAKE WAIRARAPA
... Constable Charles Brunskill is involved with the search for the 3 bodies of Henry Franklin 'Francis' Cross, George Cooley & Edgar Amos Devereux who drowned while duckshooting on the Wairarapa lake

... A man named John Reid has been arrested by Constable Brunskill at Kaiwaiwai, near Featherston, charged with larceny as a bailee of books, &c., the property of M. J. Symes. He was remanded to Wellington, and will be brought before the Bench tomorrow morning


19 May 1880 - FEATHERSTON
... A rather striking example of the precocity of colonial youth has just come under the notice of the police. A boy, a little more than thirteen years of age, son of Mr Gamble, tailor, of this city (Wellington), was entrusted by his father with a ?5 note (2012 equivalent of $790) for the purpose of lodging in the bank, and the youngster left his home ostensibly with that end. He did not return, and after some hours his parents became anxious about him and, in their distress, invoked the aid of the police. Information was sent to the various stations, but no news of the missing youngster was obtained till yesterday, when he was found at Featherston. It seems that in lieu of proceeding to the bank, he went for a trip to the Wairarapa. When at Featherston he went to a livery stable, and said that he wanted a buggy and pair to go to Masterton with, and the proprietor, thinking that he was ordering it for some one else, got it ready. On being about to start, the latter asked who was going with it, when the urchin, with the most perfect coolness, said he was going to drive himself. This was rather too good, and the vehicle was refused, but after further parley, a compromise was effected, the livery stable-keeper agreeing to let a horse for the journey to Masterton. This was brought out and a start made, but the juvenile equestrian's pluck was greater than his riding powers, for after going a hundred yards or so, he was either blown or fell off. This mode of transport was then abandoned, and in the meanwhile Constable Brunskill made his appearance, and having received an accurate description of the run-away, at once recognised him. On being asked what his name was, he promptly replied, "Smith, son of the contractor, at Masterton", but the officer was not to be deceived, took possession of the excursionist, and safely delivered him to his parents this morning. Out of the ?5, he had ?4 remaining, so he was not very extravagant during his three days' trip

- Charles was about 30 & Helen 19


Christmas Day 1880 - WAIRARAPA LETTER
... The inhabitants of Greytown and Featherston, are generally speaking, orderly inclined - at any rate the Government appear to think so. In my last letter I stated that our postmaster had been dismissed. This time I have to inform you that we are no longer to have in our midst a guardian of the peace. As above stated, Government finds no such an orderly class of people - for we do not provide enough genuine cases of "run in", as to warrant them in these time of retrenchment - in keeping a "bobby" stationed in the lower part of the valley. Constable Willoughby, of Greytown, and Constable Brunskill, of Featherston, have just received instructions to pack up and repair to the depot, there to await further orders. This fact speaks volumes for the conduct of the inhabitants. Masterton (fortunately for its people) is still to be supplied with a "limb of the law". Whether the removal of the policemen is a wise step remains to be proved, but I feel doubtful on the matter, still Johnny knows best - at all events thinks he does, which is much the same thing


9 March 1881 - WELLINGTON
... Dr Michael Hanratty, who has been resident in Featherston for a brief period, was brought to town last evening in the custody of Constable Brunskill.

13 June 1885 - DEATH of HELEN
... Another young native of Wellington has passed away, after a short illness of only two days, which at its commencement was not in the least expected to have a fatal termination. We allude to Mrs C. M. Brunskill, wife of the licensee of the Royal Oak Hotel, Featherston, who died yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock, from inflammation of the bowels. The deceased lady, who was only 24 years of age, was the daughter of Mr J. Evans, (John & Jessie Evans) saddler, who arrived in Wellington by the ship Adelaide, in the year 1840. Mrs Brunskill was one of a family of 12 children, eleven of whom are alive, and are, with one exception, married and settled in various parts of the colony. Mrs Brunskill, who was highly respected, leaves a family of young children to mourn their loss. The remains of the deceased lady, who was a sister of Mr J. E. Evans, if this city, will be brought to Wellington for interment
... the Friends of Mr C. M. BRUNSKILL are respectfully invited to attend the funeral of his late wife, which will leave his residence, Featherston, on Monday, 15th June, at 2 p.m. - A. DONALD, Undertaker

1 December 1885 - OHAUPO, Waikato
... For sale at the Ohaupo Yards, on Tuesday, December 1, 660 head mixed store cattle, amongst which are 30 very choice three-year-old steers, in fresh condition, bred by C. Brunskill, Esq., Taotaorao


9 March 1886 - MAUNGATAWA
... A seam of quartz has been discovered on the farm of C. Brunskill, on the western slope of Maungatawa. It is said to be nice looking stone. Efforts are being made to start a prospecting association to test the value of the stone. Mr Brunskill will offer every facility


13 March 1886 - MAUNGAKAWA
... It is most gratiying to be able to announce that the specimens of the quartz found by Mr C. Brunskill on his property at Maungakawa, have been pronounced by experts to be of very excellent quality. These samples were taken by Mr Soutter, of Cambridge, to Waiorongomai, and were submitted to Mr Adams, the battery manager, for inspection. That gentleman, together with other experts, has declared the stone equal to any found at Te Aroha or on the West Coast


25 March 1886 - the TAOTAOROA GOLDFIELD
... No result has yet been ascertained of the samples of quartz taken from the newly-discovered reefs at Mr Brunskill's at Taotaoroa, which is looked forward to with some anxiety. Our representative paid a personal visit yesterday to the locality, and was very favourably impressed with the appearance and general bearing to the reefs. We must here, by the way, state that the situation of the reef is not in that part of the district knwon as Maungakawa, as has hitherto been stated, but is on the succeeding range of hills known as Taotaoroa, although branching off from the former, and by the distinctive appellation of "Taotaotoa" the reefs must be called.
The road to Mr Brunskill's land, after leaving the main road, passes over several miles up and down of poor, broken country, with stunted scrub and fern, and with extensive high limestone formation in every direction until the downs of Taotaoroa are reached, where the soil, especially near the wooded hills, is of very superior quality. Mr Brunskill has several hundred acres of this land, where he recently put up some new buldings and has a number of sheep and cattle. The reef is about half a mile form his homestead, and is first met with in the deep dip between two portions of high ground. Our representative, with Mr Brunskill, went down to where the reef had been tapped, which is in the bed of a brook, and the face showed a blue look of true stone with fine, large, clear, leads of white quartz running through in various directions. The caisson has a genuine look and the stone itself is very weighty with veins of mundic visible here and there. It is certainly worth while giving the reef a thorough test; and to get into it for about ten feet, from which the stone could be ontained in sufficient quantity for a trial crushing and assay. The stone has precisely the same look as the quartz found at Mount Ida and other Otago fields

26 July 1905 - OHINEMURI (aged 55)
... Letter to the Editor Ohinemuri Gazette - Sir, Like Rip Van Winkle, Mr Charles Brunskill has awakened from a prolonged sleep and has come to light again, this time as an agitator, certainly not as the working man's friend, as he intended. It is said that "fools rush into print where angels fear to tread" and in this C.M.B. has been very successful. Prompted by the recent eruption in the hitherto peaceful affairs of the County Council regarding retrenchment, Charles M. Brunskill has launched out in your last issue in a washerwoman sort of way with a long and pitiful epistle upholding the workman, which is neither wise or in any way conducive to the best interst of our well-being as a community ... more at link

10 November 1919 - THE OBITUARY of Charles Marlborough Brunskill
... When an old and respected citizen passes away from our midst, irrespective of age or ailment, the event always leaves a trail of general regret behind it; and when that parting is sudden and unexpected, as was the fate of Charles Marlborough Brunskill, surprise becomes mingled with sorrow, for who would have thought that dignified figure who appeared well and hearty the day before would be found dead in his homestead on the following morning.
Deceased had been in Paeros for upwards of twenty-five years, and had seen its palmy days and played his part in their golden activities in the time of the mining boom.
He came to Paeroa from Cambridge (Waikato) and became associated with a carrying business in which he was as well known as the roads he travelled with his faithful team. He was a man who manifested uncommon interest in most things having for their object the betterment and progress of the town, and was an enthusiastic admirer of all things pertaining to agricultural and horticultural manifestations.
For many years he was honorary secretary to the Paeroa District High School Committee and proved himself a most capable and efficient member of the committee and secretary.
He was a man of a retiring disposition, kind, unselfish, and forbearing in his official duties in connection with the Paeroa Borough Council.
Mr Brunskill came to New Zealand over fifty years ago, and was at one time connected with the Police Department in Wellington, and at different times held other Government positions. After a few years he married, but his wife is long since dead. On coming northwards he joined the Militia in the Waikato and fought with honour for which he received conspicuous recognition. Originally he came from County Kerry (Ireland) and was the son of an Anglican minister. He was educated in his native town, and took an interest in journalism, and his writings under the neading of "C.M.B." will be well remembered in this paper.
He was a mason, and was past Master of the lodge to which he belonged. For a number of years he was an assiduous member of Lodge Ohinemuri, being one of the foundation members and the first Deputy Master of the lodge. Latterly he had taken a keen interest in the Nurse Pennell Memorial Fund, and it was largely due to him that the first public meeting to consider the matter was called.
The deceased was 68 years of age (sic) and has a married daughter, Mrs Klingender, residing at Morrinsville and a brother, Mr Henry Brunskill, farming at Papakura.
The funeral took place on Saturday morning, leaving the Masonic Hall at 10.30 o'clock. There was a large number of brethren of Lodge Ohinemuri present and also friends of the deceased. The Masonic burial service at the grave-side was read by the Worshipful Master, Bro. B. Gwilliam

Wairarapa Daily Times, 22 Sep 1890
CARTERTON James Farrell, proprietor of the livery stables and carting agency here, was found dead in his bedroom at the Marquis of Normanby hotel yesterday morning, He had been ill since Thursday, but nothing serious was suspected. Lumbago, or at the worst, slight internal inflammation, was considered the extent of his ailment, but now it is thought there must have been some heart affection as the immediate cause of death. He was under the doctor's care. The fatal result was very unexpected and has caused a good deal of regretful comment, while the other recent sudden deaths have intensified the melancholy feeling. The deceased was middle aged and single. He has no relations in the colony as far as is known. The late James Farrell, although following a comparatively humble occupation, had earned the respect and regard of all who came into contact with him. He was a true "rough diamond" if there ever was one. He was honesty itself, and "Jim" as he was popularly called, might, as we have more than once heard it said, have been trusted with a 'thousand all in gold'. By his worthy and generous characteristics, which, although they were of a plain kind, were none the less good and were based on sound principles, which were creditable to their possessor, he had earned the good opinion of not only Carterton residents but many others, With commercial travellers he as a great favourite and there is not a man on the road who will mot miss the sound if Jim's honest Irish voice when he next passes through Carterton. It was a voice too. It could be heard a mile away almost and its owner, with all his giant strength, seemed indeed the last person in the world to be so suddenly stricken down. Death calls every day exemplifying how feeble is our grasp of life, when even apparent health and the greatest vigour succumb at one fell blow.
.. Yet another sudden death has occurred here, making the frequency of our present experience of these melancholy events almost appalling. Yesterday morning Jas. Farrell was found dead on the floor of his bedroom at the Marquis of Normanby Hotel. He was seized on Thursday last with what was thought might either be lumbago or slight internal inflammation. He place himself under the doctor's care, but succumbed under the circumstances indicated. It is considered that some affection of the heart may have been the immediate cause of death. Mr Farrell was a single man, middle-aged and was proprietor of the livery stables and carting agency here. He is well known to all commercial travellers on the road and by them, as by everyone else, was held in high regard for the possession of honest and generous characteristics which entitled him to respect. The deceased was a very powerful man, with whom it would have almost seemed absurd to have associated the word death

PHOTO (written in 1897)
Mr Richard Fairbrother, who was the first Mayor of Carterton, a position which he occupied for six years, was one of the pioneer settlers in the borough. Born in 1826 in London, he enlisted in the 49th Regiment and served in India and China, but was never in an engagement, although at the front. Returning, he was stationed in Ireland, where he married and after a short time in Greece, finding his family increasing, he decided to buy out. On leaving, his commander commended him publicly for his steadiness and thrift. After a short time in the grocery business in London Mr Fairbrother came to New Zealand in 1856 in the ship “Ann Wilson.” Settling in the Wairarapa he opened a store in Greytown and worked some time on the roads. Subsequently removing to Carterton - then known as the “Three Mile Bush” -
he took up land and, when the township was laid out, established a general store to which the post-office was soon attached. Mr Fairbrother always took a deep interest in local politics. He promoted the first school in the bush by raising subscriptions, drew the memorial for naming the locality, assisted in the erection of the town hall, was captain of the volunteer corps and for thirteen years was chairman of the Town Board before the foundation of the borough. In church affairs he was for many years minister's churchwarden of St. Mark's Church. Mr Fairbrother died in May 1892 leaving his widow with six sons and three daughters, all grown up.
