NOTES on TINUI
* When the people of Tinui went to church on the morning of April 25 1916, to hold an Anzac service and later erected a cross on Mt Maunsell, they would have hardly known how significant their actions would become. It was the first known Anzac memorial service in New Zealand

Wairarapa Daily Times, 20 Oct 1905
TE NUI NOTES
It is with much sorrow I have to refer to the death of Mr Hugh Belliss, briefly announced in your paper on Monday last.
Mr Belliss died early on Monday morning, after a very painful illness lasting over two months and borne with great fortitude and patience. Mr Belliss, who was a native of Essex, England, arrived in New Zealand in 1848 and for many years was engaged in farming pursuits in the Te Nui Valley. For some years now he had fulfilled the duties of postmaster at Castle Point, together with the landing and shipping of goods and the dumping of the wool. He was a Justice of the Peace and a member of the Masonic Order. At one time he represented the Castlepoint riding on the old Wairarapa North County Council. He was of a pleasant, cheery nature and his death is sincerely regretted.
The funeral took place on Wednesday and was very largely attended, settlers being present from all parts of the district. The first part of the service was held at Castle Point, after which the body was removed to the Te Nui Cemetery, where the remainder of the service was read by the Rev J. H. Sykes.
Mr Belliss leaves a widow, three sons and two daughters, who have the sincere sympathy of a large circle of friends

Hugh married Louisa Groves (1849-1931) in 1871
* Louisa was born in Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight, 9th child of John Groves (1897-1892) and Ann Peach (1808-1861).

In Jan 1907 Miss Victoria Howell (1862-1907) was living in the house when she died from zinc poisoning due to the condition of the drinking water in the house tank. The Inquest.

West Coast Times, 26 April 1876
The Immigrant Ship FERNGLEN, for Wellington, via Nelson, which sailed from London on the 23rd of January, is reported to have reached Nelson. There are 189 passengers. 75 immigrants for Westland, all of whom may be expected here in the course of a few day.

This vessel, which arrived at the outer anchorage on April 21st, was boarded by the Health Officer on the following morning and her passengers were landed on Sunday morning.
The Fernglen made an excellent passage of 83 days from land to land and what is of more consequence without having had any serious sickness on board. No death occurred during the voyage, but one birth increased the number of those she was to land.
On Friday soon after the ship dropped anchor one of her immigrants named Searle, who is in a state of unsound mind, whilst taking exercise on deck between two attendants, managed to escape them and immediately jumped overboard. The day was as unpleasant as it well could be and there was a heavy sea rolling up the Bay, consequently any attempt to save the unfortunate man was fraught with considerable risk, However, the occurrence was witnessed by Dr Haines, who immediately threw off his coat and jumped overboard after the poor fellow. He succeeded in catching hold of him and then swam with him to a life-buoy that had been thrown to their assistance. He got Searle on to the buoy and held him there till a boat rescued them.

The ship is a fine specimen of an immigrant vessel and the condition in which she arrived in port speaks well for those in command of her, she is built of iron and is of about 800 tons register; her 'tween decks are remarkably lofty, commodious and well ventilated and the arrangements for the accommodation of her passengers were such as to unsure cleanliness and comfort, a noteworthy feature being that her bunks were place, not as is customary along the sides of the ship, but in the centre, thus giving better ventilation. The vessel was built for the New Zealand Shipping company and is commanded by Captain Frazer and Dr Haines, late of H.M.S. Basilisk, is the medical officer. To this latter gentleman the following letter was sent by the immigrants just before their disembarkation:-
"Ship Fernglen, April 22, 1975" - To Dr Haines, B.A.G.D. - We, the immigrants on board the good ship Fernglen, think it our duty to give you our most sincere thanks for the heroic bravery shown in saving the life of Mr Searle, yesterday forenoon, hoping you may have long life and prosperity and happiness; and when you have run your course in this life, we trust that God will be as ready to rescue your soul and take it up to heaven to be at rest with Him, as you were in saving the life of our unfortunate friend Mr Searle. Accept our most heartfelt thanks and good wishes and we all give you our heart applause as well as three hearty cheers

TIMELINE
6 Nov 1911 WORKPLACE FATALITY. Ferdinand SCHWASS, employed on Charles Managh's farm at Turakina went to get some sheep from the other side of Turakina river taking a horse and dray, thinking it was not dangerous. After they got a few yards the water began to come into the dray and the horse was forced down stream with the current. Schwass remarked that it looked bad and they would have to swim. The water was then nearly up to their knees and when about two chains down it was up to their waists and the dray capsized washing them out... after William Greig, roadman for the Rangitikei County Council and Charles Managh dragged the river they found the body ..

CHARLES MANAGH died 7 Dec 1918 at his residence, Mangaone, Halcombe after a long and painful illness. He was 65
* By the death of Mr Charles Managh, which occurred at about 5 o'clock on Saturday morning, Halcombe loses one of its best-liked and most widely respected residents. He was very well known all over the district and no man was more esteemed. He had by his square dealing and fairness won for himself the name of a "straight" man. He was always affable and courteous, and had a vein of quiet humour which won him many friends. He was a typical and successful farmer, and contact with him gave one the immediate impression that he knew what he was talking about. To hear him discuss farming questions was an interesting experiences, for he could talk lucidly, even to the layman in farming matter, of things that a less able man would make much less clearer. He was very fond of a joke and no man round these parts had a more pleasant manner. He was an ever-observant, painstaking farmer, with a deep knowledge of everything pertaining to farm life. He had worked hard and by his untiring energy had amassed a fair share of material wealth. Though not appearing much in public matters, he always assisted worthy objects in a quiet way and no one ever went to "Charlie" Managh for a donation for a charitable cause and came away empty-handed. He was a strong supporter of the Halcombe Band, being a vice-president and had several times entertained the band at his home.
The deceased gentleman had lived in these parts well over 40 years and had brought up a large family - 17 in all, five boys and twelve girls. Two of the sons, Second-Lieut A. Managh and Private J. Managh, are away in France. He was related by marriage to Mr Owen McIlroy. Messrs J. and A. Managh, of Halcombe, are the dead man's cousins.
Much sympathy is felt for Mrs Managh and her family. Mr Managh came from Co. Tyrone, Ireland, sailing in the 'Dover Castle' landing in New Zealand in 1875.

* The funeral of the late Charles Managh will leave his late residence, Mangaone, Halcombe, to-morrow (Sunday) at 2.30pm for the Halcombe Cemetery. Friends please accept this intimation
