OBITUARY
Mr Abraham Barrell. Following a long illness, the death has occurred, in a hospital at Hokianga, of Mr Abraham Barrell, at the age of 86. He was one of the oldest and most highly respected residents at Pahiatua. At the time of his death Mr Barrell was visiting his daughter.
Mr Barrell was born at Bury St Edmonds, Suffolk, England, in 1842, being the eldest son of the late Mr and Mrs Samuel Barrell who came to New Zealand in 1864(sic 1855), landing at Lyttelton. Mr Barrell, senr., took up land in the Rangiora district.
Flour-milling was Mr A. Barrell's first calling, being apprenticed as a boy to one of the Rangiora mills. Some years later he joined the firm of Messrs Boyd and Keir builders and contractors, of Rangiora, by whom he was employed until he left for the North Island in 1891.
Mr Barrell went first to Mangatainoka, later taking up building in Pahiatua, where he put up various buildings. He married at Rangiora and there were four children of the union when the family shifted to the North Island. Four more children were born to Mr and Mrs Barrell at Mangatainoka. Mr Barrell carried on with his building activities in the district for several years, when he turned his attention to the butchery trade, setting up a small shop at Mangatainoka. Later he entered into partnership with Mr George Early, in a shop in Pahiatua, which was conducted most successfully. Retiring from business in 1910, Mr Barrell disposed of his interest in the butchery to take over a farm property he possessed at Mangatainoka. Some five years later he gave up active farming to live in retirement in Pahiatua. He had been a very keen rifle shot in his younger days.
While living at Mangatainoka Mr Barrell served on the Pahiatua County Council and was chairman of the Domain Board and the Library Committee, besides being president of the Mangatainoka Athletic Society, of which he was one of the founders.
During his residence in Pahiatua he served for a number of years on the Borough Council. He was a member of the Pahiatua A. and P. Association, of which he was president, later being elected a life member.
Ever since he had resided in the district Mr Barrell had been a keen bowler, his association with the Pahiatua Club dating back over 22 years. The club made him an honorary life member some years ago in recognition of his long service as patron and green supervisor.
Mr Barrell was a Past Master of Lodge Tararua and was a member of the Loyal Mangatainoka Lodge, which he helped to found, being the first N.G.
For over 40 years Mr Barrell had served as a Justice of the Peace.
Mr Barrell, who was a member of the Anglican Church, was a strong supporter of the St Mark's Church at Mangatainoka, helping in a large way to have the building established. For many years his eldest daughter acted as organist at St Mark's, serving in that capacity till she married.
Mrs Barrell predeceased her husband ten years ago and a daughter, Mrs Wotherspoon (Frances), died about four years ago. Left to mourn their loss are Messrs Charles Barrell, M.P., Hamilton; Leonard Barrell of Hokianga and Mrs A. J. Ebbett (Gwendoline) of Lake Tekapo and Messrs Raymond Barrell of Morrinsville, Leslie Barrell of Whakatane, Mrs H. Anderson (Stella) of Kaeo and Mrs C. W.

Mr Jones, chairman of the Elmwood School Committee, asked that Mr Barrell should be totally exempted, or at least until the end of the year, to allow him to go on with the teaching of his class of 68 sixth standard pupils.

Pahiatua Herald, 5 June 1914
ANDERSON-BARRELL At St Mark's (Anglican) Church, Mangatainoka on Wednesday, the wedding was celebrated of Miss Stella Gertrude Barrell, third daughter of Mr and Mrs A. Barrell, old and respected residents of Mangatainoka and Hemming C. Anderson, third son of Mr and Mrs J. P. Anderson of Halcombe. The bride was given away by her father. She was attired in a very dainty dress of ivory crepe de chine, trimmed with swansdown, pearl and crystal ornaments and shadow lace. She wore the usual veil and orange blossoms and carried a sheaf of choice chrysanthemums and asparagus ferns. There were two bridesmaids, Miss Ruby Barrell, sister of the bride and Miss Annie Anderson, sister of the bridegroom. Miss Barrell wore a frock of lemon-coloured chiffon tafetta with Oriental and fur trimmings and mob cap and belt of pale blue tulle. Miss Anderson wore a reseda green chiffon taffetta dress, with Oriental and white fur trimmings and mob cap to match. Each carried a handsome bouquet of white chrysanthemums and heath. Mr H. Stunnell, of Foxton, acted as best man and Mr H. Coston attended as groomsman. Mrs Barrell, mother of the bride wore a navy blue costume, black hat with plumes and black wolf furs. Mrs Anderson, mother of the bridegroom, wore a brown silk-striped poplin dress, black toque and black feather ruffle. Mrs Wotherspoon presided at the organ and played the Wedding march as the newly-married couple left the church.
After the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev R. Hermon, the bridal party and guests were driven to "Totaranui" the residence of the bride's parents, where the wedding breakfast was held. The usual toasts were honoured and felicitous speeches made.
The young couple were the recipients of a large number of handsome and useful presents, including several cheques. The bridegroom's present to each bridesmaid was gold wreath brooches set with jewels. The bride presented the bridegroom with a silver cigarette case.
Mr and Mrs Anderson subsequently left by the express train for the North on a honeymoon tour. The bride travelled in a smart tailor-made navy blue costume and black and tango velvet hat. She wore a lovely set of grey squirrel furs, the gift of the bridegroom.

Vera Agnes Barrell (1904-1991)
* daughter of Mark Barrell & Harriet Skudder
married James Ernest Strachan (1883-1973) in Waikuku Beach, near Rangiora, on Jan 1934, as his 2nd wife. They had 2 sons.
* James was born in Dunedin, a son of James Cochrane Strachan, a tailor & Helen Moir. At the age of 15 he became a pupil-teacher and entered Dunedin Training College in 1903. He also took classes at the University of Otago, graduating MA with honours in mental science in 1905. From 1906 to 1910 he was an assistant master in the secondary department of Lawrence District High School and from 1911 to 1917 science master at Gore High School. In 1917 he was appointed principal of Rangiora High School, from where he was able to complete a BSc at Canterbury College in 1921. On 2 Sep 1914 at Lawrence, he had married Mary Irene Chalmers. They had a daughter, 1915-2007 Irene Dorothy Strachan (+ Hawker).
On taking up his appointment at Rangiora, James immediately began introducing reforms to the school's curriculum and organisation, aimed at creating a self-contained and self-governing community of learners. He believed that the school should reflect the community in which it was located and that a curriculum composed solely of professional subjects disadvantaged pupils not academically inclined. He gave more emphasis to existing courses in agriculture, home science and commerce to supplement the traditional professional courses. In 1926 he introduced his 'organic curriculum', which included a central core of science, technology, fine arts and sociology. It was, in part, intended to inculcate social skills such as critical thinking and citizenship.
He was a notable amateur radio expert, credited with having sent NZ's first radio signal (the length of a back garden in Dunedin). He was also chairman of the reception committee that met Charles Kingsford Smith after his epic trans-Tasman flight in 1928.
* James died 30 Sep 1973 in Christchurch, survived by Vera, a daughter & 2 sons (much more at his link - with photo).

NOTE Abraham's father, Samuel (1826-1911) and Susan (1825-1905) Barrell are buried at Mangatainoka, Pahiatua.
Pahiatua Herald, 20 May 1905
It is with regret we record the death of Mrs Susan Barrell, mother of Mr A. Barrell, which took place at the residence of the latter at Mangatainoka this morning, at the ripe age of 80 years. The deceased lady was born at Hartest, Suffolk, in the year 1825 and came out to this colony with her husband in the emigrant ship Grasmere, which arrived at Lyttelton 50 years ago to-day. She leaves a husband and family of four - two sons and two daughters, namely: Mr A. Barrell (Abraham) of Mangatainoka; Mr M. Barrell (Mark) of Rangiora, Canterbury; Mrs R. Baillie (Agnes), Ashley Bank, Canterbury and Mrs C. Todd (Alice Agnes) of Mangaroko, Taranaki. There are several grand-children.
Manawatu Standard, 12 Jan 1911
The death occurred'at Mangatainoka on January 5, of a very old colonist in the person of Mr Samuel Barrell, at the advanced age of 85 years. The deceased gentlemen, who was very highly respected by all who knew him, was one of the Canterbury pilgrims, having arrived in Lyttelton over fifty-six years ago in the 'Grasmere', the first emigrant ship (? see headstone note). For the past eleven or twelve years the late Mr Barrell, whose wife predeceased him six years ago, had been living with his son, Mr A. Barrell, of Mangatainoka.
Their HEADSTONE reads: In memory of one of the original Canterbury pilgrims by arriving in Lyttelton 1855 on the "Grasmere", the first immigrant ship(?). Unsure why that is written because of course, the first ship was the 'Charlotte Jane' which arrived in Lyttelton in the morning of 16 Dec 1850 and the Randolph arrived in the afternoon. The 'Sir George Seymour' arrived the following day and the 'Cressy' on 27th. The 'Grasmere' arrived 4 May 1855, there were more than 35 immigrant ships into Lyttelton before her.

Passenger List 21 Jan 1954 (needs free sign in)
"RANGITOTO" departed Wellington 21 Jan 1954 for Southampton
NOTE I found that the occupation written on the passenger list was not indicative of what they did, but something was required on the passenger list. An example is Monty Pierard who was simply listed as 'clerk' when he was actually a Canon/Churchman with an MBE and his wife as 'Domestic'. Another is Lieutenant Colonel John W Mckewgow who was simply listed as 'Farmer'. All 252 occupations listed as 'domestic' have been removed (after all, this was 1954, not 1854)
* Estimated Birth Year is what is written at above site. However, the sailing was in Jan so probably out by a year. I have changed those I have researched. Death year will be added as found.
* As with all such lists, it is advised you also do your own research. This is just a help on your ancestors movements.
* All listed as British Nationals unless otherwise stated

The RANGITOTO

Major changes were made to the nature and form of Māori military service in late 1915 and early 1916. The Maori Contingent ceased to exist and Māori troops were incorporated into the New Zealand Pioneer Battalion, sometimes referred to as the Maori Pioneer Battalion. They were not front-line fighting units but a military labour force trained and organised to work on engineering duties, digging trenches, building roads & railways and taking on any other logistical tasks deemed necessary. This was essential and dangerous work that was often carried out under fire

*Major George Augustus King, formerly staff captain of the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade, was appointed as commanding officer. Te Rangi Hīroa was promoted to major and made second-in-command. Both men were considered to have the leadership qualities needed to pull the battalion together. Neither the Otago Mounted Rifles nor the Māori were happy with this reshuffle. The Otago men in particular resented becoming pioneers.
*Hēnāre Kōhere was a 36 year old Lieutenant, a man of great mana, from the East Coast. On 15 Sep 1916, the first day of the NZ attack on the Somme, 12 Pioneers were killed and 40 wounded. One of those mortally wounded was Kōhere, who told those attending him, 'Ka nui te kino' (Things are very bad). He gave instructions that his cousin, Lieutenant *Pekama Kaa, should take control of his Ngāti Porou platoon. He died the next day and was buried at Heilly. Kaa assumed leadership of the platoon until he too was killed in August 1917.

Witness told him they were caps for a muzzle-loader. Witness then went for a load, deceased remaining in the whare. When he came back deceased had a gun in his hand and there was a cap on the nipple. Witness, "The gun may be loaded; you had better give me the gun." Deceased gave witness the gun, turned from him and the gun went off in his hands. Deceased fell, rose again and then fell evidently dead. He did not speak. Witness picked him up and carried him to his home. Witness said he did not notice if the gun was cocked,

To the foreman: I do not know if I had my hand upon the trigger.
To a juryman: When the gun went off he (witness) was standing up; deceased was two or three feet from him.

Constable Southgate said he had examined Chapman's whare. He found a double-barrelled muzzle-loading gun upon the floor near the stove. The right barrel had been recently discharged, the hammer being down and a cap on the nipple. The cap looked as if it had recently been put on. The left barrel was still loaded. The gun appeared to have been loaded for some time. An examination of the body showed that there was a wound behind the left shoulder blade. He could find no other marks upon the body. The wound was, in his opinion, quite sufficient to cause death.

The jury gave a verdict that the deceased came to his death by misadventure from a gun-shot wound at the hands of his cousin. A rider was added to the effect that more care should be exercised when leaving loaded guns about dwellings within reach of children.

Walter ANGELL
Johnsonville, Wellington
* This may have been Walter Angell snr (1859-1959), or his son Walter Angell (1891-1969). Both lived in Johnsonville.
* Walter snr was buried in the Methodist Churchyard Cemetery, Johnsonville on 18 Oct 1939. The Cemetery, up Norman Lane, is the last resting place of many early settlers of the northern suburbs. Formerly located behind the Methodist Church, it remains in parish ownership and remained when the church was demolished in 1973 to make way for business premises
* Walter jnr married Margaret Elder in 1915

Frank Wilson ARBON (1864-1928)
Komako, Manawatu
Manawatu Times, 1 Aug 1928
General regret was felt throughout the Manawatu district yesterday, when it became known, that one of the oldest and best known settlers of the Pohangina Valley had passed away, in the person of Mr Frank Wilson Arbon. The late Mr Arbon was a gentleman well known outside his own district, his activities in public life bringing him in contact with many. Particularly his interests lay in Pohangina, for which district he had worked for many years, as one of the best known settler "up the Valley" and also as chairman of the Pohangina County Council.
The deceased gentleman was born in Swanage, England and came to the Dominion 42 years ago, when he commenced farming in the Pohangina Valley. As one of the oldest settlers in that locality, the late Mr Arbon was always to the fore in serving its interests on various local bodies concerned with the district. He was also a life member of the Manawatu and West Coast A. and P. Association, this honour being conferred upon him as some recognition of his services as president of that body in 1911 and in previous and subsequent years, as an energetic committee-man.
The late Mr Arbon had represented the Pohangina district on the Manawatu-Oroua Electric Power Board since the inception of that body and through his death, the district has lost a man who represented it worthily, whenever he was called upon. Deep sympathy will be extended the family in their sad bereavement - a widow and two sons, Messrs Geoffrey and Mervyn Arbon, of Pohangina, are left to mourn their loss
* Frank was also on the Meat Producers' Board. He married Eva Hayns (1870-1954) in 1891 and had the two sons, Geoffrey Henry (1904-1976) & George Mervyn (1900-1945) Arbon- both attended Wanganui Collegiate. Frank & Eva are buried at Terrace End Cemetery

Ralph Fitzroger Bidwill BEETHAM (1880-1957)

The death has occurred of Mr Benjamin George Henry Burn, a Wellington resident of long standing who had devoted much of his lifetime to serving the interests of the community.

Mr Burn was born in Cornwall, England. He was trained as a weaver for four years at Culbert and then sailed from Liverpool for New Zealand, landing in Wellington in 1879, just after the big fire in Manners Street.

After his retirement from business, Mr Burn took an active part in municipal politics. He was elected a member of the Karori Borough Council in 1909 and remained on the council until 1915, when he was elected Mayor of Karori, in which capacity he took an active part in the negotiations leading to the amalgamation of that borough with the city in 1920.

His father Myer had been the chairman of directors and managing director since its incorporation in 1892. In Oct 1928 Mr Arthur Bower Knight (1884-1934), as Chairman of the WFCA, stated that "about twelve months ago, it was made apparent to the board that a crisis had been reached and steps were taken to effect an entire change in the management of the association's affairs". Joseph Caselberg then relinquished his position of chairman and managing director and his brothers, David & Alfred Caselberg, retired from the board ... more here on the meeting and outcome. Arthur concluded with .. "In conclusion the directors realise that the association, like several other organisations in New Zealand carrying on similar business, has passed through a crisis and that its interests have suffered severely thereby. The board is of opinion that the interests of the association will best be served by not delving into past mistakes, but by concentrating on future policy and operations. Drastic action has been taken to meet the position and the board looks forward now with confidence to the future. Loyal support of shareholders and firends will assist in quickly restoring the association to a dividend-paying basis"
