MONSOU, Fred Butcher - 29 July 1914
* database has this name, but read story ..
Mataura Ensign, 30 July 1914 THE BLUFF FIRE One of the biggest fires that has ever occurred at Bluff for over a decade commenced in the Club Hotel Building at midnight on Tuesday. By the fire at Bluff in the Club Hotel buildings in the early hours of Wednesday (29th) morning three lives were lost namely Peter MONSON (55), Fred BUTCHER (66) and John Thomas BROOK (22)
Brook, a Private in the Bluff territorials, was a fireman and lodged at the hotel. He was due at his work in the railway shed at six o'clock and as he did not turn up inquiries were made. Brook had only arrived from Lumsden the previous week to take up his duties at the Bluff. He was a single man, 22 years of age. On the night preceding the fire he arrived at the hotel from a hard day's work and his remark to one of the hotel staff was, "I am dead tired and I am going to have a good sleep." He went straight to his room and from that minute nothing was seen of him again. A careful search of the place failed to reveal any human remains under the bedroom he occupied (room 6) but it is possible that the unfortunate man had groped his way out into the corridor and had been overcome by the heavy smoke.
Monson was an American Swede and had been employed on the barque Irene as ship's carpenter. His charred body was found in a bent-up tangled wreckage of the bedstead (room 15), where he was evidently suffocated in his sleep. Butcher, the third victim, commonly known as "Blucher", was a well-known identity, an old character of both Invercargill and Bluff, being an ex man-o'-warsman. There were many heroic actions during the progress of the fire. Two of he maidservants were rescued in the nick of time, one being unconscious with her night clothes on fire. Another became stupefied and was unable to move when a man caught hold of her and carried her down the fire escape. The fire brigade rendered excellent service under trying circumstances

DEATH:
ROWLAND - A sad and fatal accident occurred at Upokongaro near Wanganui on Monday last. A shoemaker named Philip Rowland, while crossing the yard at the back of Kennedy's Hotel, passed a horse, left standing and tied to the fence; and in passing, patted the horse's flank. The animal in kicking out struck him in the lower abdomen, inflicting terrible injuries and such suffering as could only have been relieved by instant death, The agonised groans of the unfortunate man brought assistance and the poor fellow was placed upon a couch. A messenger dispatched with all speed to town soon returned with Dr Earle, who strove ineffectually to afford even a temporary relief. Nothing could be done to save the injured man, who, in the most terrible pain, lingered for some hours and expired in paroxysms of agony.

TRAGEDY AT KAIWHAIKI
SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE
MAN CAUSED HIS OWN DEATH
An inquest touching the circumstances surrounding the death of a roadman named Bert Jones, who was drowned in the river at Kaiwaiki Pah on Tuesday, Feb 10th, was held before the District Coroner, Mr W. Kerr, yesterday afternoon.
Evidence was tendered by Timothy Hogan to the effect that deceased was employed by Mr McCullam, road contractor. At 9 a.m. of the 10th inst., witness and the deceased walked to the Upokongaro Hotel. There they stayed till noon and had four or five long beers. When they left they took three bottles of beer and a bottle of whisky. They had some of this on the way to their camp. They reached a point opposite to their camp at about 4.45 p.m. and deceased called across the river to a boy named Stanley McCullam and asked him to bring a canoe to convey witness and deceased across. When the boy and the canoe arrived, witness said he would not fo across in it for he thought it was unsafe. When deceased got in he commenced rocking the canoe and the boy told him to stop. Witness then went away to get some Maori to pull him across.
The boy referred to, Stanley McCullum, gave evidence corroborating that of the previous witness up to the point when Hogan said he went away. Then, the boy said, Jones commenced to rock the canoe and it sank. The canoe came up upside down and Jones held on to it. Witness swam ashore and ran for help. When he came back in a Maori canoe with some natives, the deceased had sunk.
The camp cook, Joseph Smith, said he was standing on the camp side of the river and witnessed the whole incident. In addition to the previous given, he said that deceased hung on to the canoe till it had floated for two chains down the river.
Constable Barry gave evidence as to finding the body about a mile above the Aramoho bridge on Sunday. He said he had made inquiries at the Upokongaro Hotel and he was quite satisfied that the men left there sober. A half-filled bottle of whisky was found on the body when it was picked up. The Coroner returned the following verdict "Accidentally drowned, through his own recklessness while under the influence of drink"

Marlborough Express, 21 March 1898 William Baker Girling (1831-1898)
It is our painful duty to record the death of Mr William Baker Girling, the well known merchant, which occurred early on Sunday morning at his residence in High Street. The sad news came as a great shock to the community, for Mr Girling's death was sudden and unexpected. He had been indisposed for some days, but he was in his business premises as late as one o'clock on Saturday afternoon. There he complained of feeling unwell, and left the shop for his house. During the night his condition became so alarming that medical assistance was summoned, and Dr Anderson attended him. he administered a sedative, and remained with the sufferer, who gradually sank and passed away at about six o'clock. Deceased, who was 66 years of age, has been a resident of Blenheim for over 20 years

Evening Post, 26 April 1899 DEATH of WILLIAM'S FATHER
We regret to announce the death of Captain Hercules Anderson, father of Dr Anderson, of this town, which occurred this morning at an early hour at his residence in Walter Street. Captain Anderson, who has been marine superintendent of the Shaw, Savill and Albion Shipping Company for the last fifteen years, was well-known in Dunedin and Christchurch, his home being situated at the latter place, He had been in ill-health for some time past and only arrived in Blenheim at the beginning of this month, having been ordered by his medical adviser to make his home here for a time in the hope that the change would be for the benefit of his health. Up to within a few months ago Captain Anderson enjoyed the very best of health, and he had rarely experienced a day's illness. Recently, however, a form of liver complaint had made serious inroads on his constitution, and it was to seek medical advice from his son, Dr Anderson, who is in partnership with Dr Cleghorn in Blenheim, that he was visiting that place. The family will have much sympathy in their bereavement.

Captain Hercules Anderson, Marine Superintendent to the Shaw, Saville and Albion Company, died early this morning at the age of 55. Deceased arrived in Blenheim at the beginning of the month intending to reside here for some time for the benefit of his health.
The news of the death of Captain H. Anderson this morning came as a shock to his many friends in shipping and commercial circles. Up to within a few months ago Captain Anderson enjoyed the very best health, and he had rarely experienced a day's illness. Recently, however, a form of liver complaint had made serious inroads on his constitution, and it was to seek medical advice from his son, Dr Anderson, who is in partnership with Dr. Cleghorn in Blenheim, that he was visiting that place. A few days ago he was reported to have much improved in health after a serious operation. The deceased was a native of Forfarshire, and had served his apprenticeship to the sea on the coast of Scotland. He was employed in the Albion Shipping Co's service until it merged into the present Shaw, Savill and Albion line, and in the latter's employ had command of a number of vessels. Later, his employers recognising his business and other abilities, appointed him to succeed the late Captain Anderson was a good seaman, thoroughly well liked and trusted by his employers and those serving below him, and respected by the public with whom he daily came in contact.
His wife pre-deceased him many years ago. He leaves three sons and two daughters. Captain Anderson and his family made a trip to the Old Country during the Queen's Jubilee year, and he returned then apparently in good health. The flags of the Harbour Board, the vessels in harbour and at the Port and Shipping Offices, and at the principal business houses in Lyttelton, were at half-mast today

Nelson Evening Mail, 11 July 1902 WILLIAM in BLENHEIM
Dr Anderson of Blenhein and Dr Morrison of Greymouth will act as Health Officers in their districts under the superintendence of Dr Frengely

Nelson Evening Mail, 27 May 1903 WILLIAM as Acting District Health Officer
Dr Frengley (District Health Officer for Nelson-Westland-Marlborough Districts) who is at present in Wellington, is of the opinion that the consumption of oysters in this locality, has added largely to the cause of so many cases of enteric fever in Nelson. He therefore instructed Dr Anderson (Acting District Health Officer for Marlborough) to investigate the storage-beds of oysters which are on the Boulder Bank within the Nelson Harbour. Dr Anderson comes to the conclusion that the amount of contamination, which was found amongst these oyster localities, is quite enough to convince him that the oysters themselves have been receiving foul matter

A two-storeyed house of eleven rooms in Gloucester Street West, owned by Mr William A. Day, grain merchant and occupied by Dr William Anderson, late of Blenheim, who has been in Christchurch only a few months, was destroyed by fire this morning. The outbreak occurred in the wash-house attached to the main building.

The flames were rapidly spread by a south-west wind, the building being ruined.

Press, 15 May 1918 FIRE - OLD AGE PENSIONERS INJURED
At 4.26 yesterday afternoon, a fire occurred in a five-roomed brick cottage, 20 Westwood terrace, off Salisbury street, occupied by four old age pensioners named Robert Kingan (aged 84), James Renshaw (78), Frank Smith (65) and Emmanuel Gustafson (74). The outbreak was due to the upsetting of a kerosene stove, on which the evening meal was being cooked, and in a few moments the building, an old one, was a mass of flames. Kingan was rather severely singed about the face in making his escape, but Renshaw was more unfortunate, his retreat being cut off, and only the timely arrival of the Fire Brigade averted a tragedy

It appeared that Munday, who is an inmate of the Ashburton Old Men's Home, was having a holiday at Sumner, and was sleeping off the effects of drink on the Lyttelton Road. The accused saw him and as he was an old decrepit man, they relieved him of his possessions. Both pleaded "Not guilty" but Constable Hampton gave evidence that he found Munday on the road, and heard his story, and that Munday afterwards identified accused.

burials Old Gorge Cemetery, Woodville, by Plot number

WOODVILLE is situated 152km (95 miles), SW of Napier, 165km (105 miles), NE of Wellington and 8km from the famous/infamous Manawatu Gorge.
When the Manawatu Gorge road was constructed in 1874, Woodville became an important road junction and a staging place for coach services. It was then known as 'The Junction'. The influx of road workers and, in the early 1880s, the arrival of the railway and railway workers, stimulated the growth of the town. A town board was established on 24 Dec 1884 and in June 1887 Woodville was constituted a borough.

The Old Gorge Cemetery lies 3km from Woodville township. Head west along SH3/Napier Road, towards the (now closed) Manawatu Gorge. Just a short distance past Old Gorge Road (on your left) and over a bridge, look for the Railway Crossing sign on your right. Cemetery access is over the railway line, up the narrow, winding road and there it is, nestled among beautiful old oak trees, at the bottom of the Ruahine Range. There is parking, or you can drive around the cemetery to plots. An ingenious display board lists all names, their plots and a map.

Accident - Yesterday a very serious accident happened to a man named William Kent. He was engaged in painting one of the new stores in High Street, the property of Mr J. D. Macpherson and for this purpose was standing upon a ladder, about fifteen feet from the ground. By some mishap the ladder became displaced and Kent fell, sustaining sever injuries. He was conveyed to the Hospital where every attendance was shown him by Dr Prins. Last night he was in a very precarious condition.

Berry, in his defence, stated that he had gone to the complainant to remonstrate with him against cruelly beating his (Kent's) children, when a scuffle ensued in which the complainant fell against the verandah. Fined £2 and costs.
Provoking A Breach Of The Peace Mrs Catlow was charged by William Kent with using insulting language to him, thereby provoking a breach of the peace. This case arose out of the previous one. Adjourned by the wishes of both parties till the 14th instant.

Christchurch Star, 26 Feb 1876[/color
Supreme Court - re Kent The matter was for a return to a habeas corpus obtained by Kent and served on Mrs Kent, for delivery of Master Kent to his father. The matter was before the Court last Friday and was adjourned till to-day to enable Mrs Kent to be present with the boy. To-day she appeared and, after handing in a statement and repeating to the Court her many grievances, his Honor, after a short conference with the subject in dispute, allowed Mrs Kent till March 6 to file affidavits and order her to be present in Court with the boy on March 13.

Press, Christchurch, 17 March 1876
Sittings In Banco Re Writ Of Habeas Corpus and Re Edwin Charles KENT
In this case a writ of Habeas Corpus had been obtained by Mr Thomas, counsel for William Kent, calling on Mary Elizabeth Kent to bring before the Court the infant son of the said William Kent for the purpose of his being delivered over to the custody of his father. The affidavit of William Kent went to show that he married his present wife in 1863 and that the infant, the cause of the present suit, was born in 1866. For some three years, with the exception of a short period in 1875, he was living apart from his wife. In June, 1875, he brought away his son for the purpose of educating him and he lived with him in Christchurch up till the 27th January 1876, when he was taken away from his father. On February 1st the father went to Timaru, where he found the child, but he was held by main force by his wife and some other persons until the child was removed. In his affidavit the father states that it was necessary his son should be re-delivered into his possession, in order that he might be properly educated and brought up on the Protestant faith as his wife belonged to the Roman Catholic faith and would, he feared, bring up and educate his son in the tenets of that faith.
The writ of habeas corpus thereupon issued.

Mr Cowlishaw, for Mr Thomas, appeared for the father.
Mr A. Thompson for the mother.

Mr Thompson now applied for an adjournment of the case to enable him to file further affidavit in reply.
His Honor declined to allow of any further adjournment. The case had now stood over for several weeks for the convenience of Mrs Kent and unless it were now proceeded with he should cut the Gordian knot by making and order for handing over the child to the custody of the father.
The affidavits filed in the case are very voluminous on both sides. That of Mrs Kent states that at the time of her marriage to Kent, his children, by his first wife, were wholly neglected and permitted to wander about the streets and were not provided with sufficient food and clothing. That at the time of her marriage Kent and his family were all members of the Roman Catholic Church and that he had frequently informed her that he was firmly established in the tenets of the Church and that it was his desire that any child or children born of their marriage should be brought up in the faith of the Roman Catholic Church. That Kent had not for many years attended any place of public worship[ and had returned himself in the census as of no religion. That from the birth of the said infant, Kent had evinced towards him feelings of dislike and had treated him with harshness and unkindness. That from the time of his marriage up to the present time Kent had neglected his wife and children and left them destitute of food and clothing while able to provide for them and that from April 1873 to May 1875 Kent deserted her and his family, never contributing towards their support, leaving her to support the younger children by his first marriage and also the infant, the subject of these proceedings. That on his return Kent took away the younger children by his first wife and the infant aforesaid against her will and also sold all her furniture and effects. That she believed that Kent did not remove the said infant for the purpose of educating him, but the the purpose of causing her pain. That while the said infant was with Kent in Christchurch she was informed that he was utterly uncared for and in the most miserable and indigent condition and was also treated by the said Kent and the woman with whom he resided with the utmost barbarity and that she requested his aunt to take him away from his father and send him to her at Timaru, which was done, and that when he arrived he was in a most loathsome condition, being without clothes and very dirty. That the said infant has always evinced symptoms of great fear of Kent and that the stat of his health was such that he required to be treated with the greatest care and tenderness and that she believed if he was given up to his father the consequence would be that he would die from ill treatment and neglect or that he would grow up as a vagrant. Affidavits in support of these statements were filed from E. M. Turner, M. A. Bidmead and H. E. Kent.
The answering affidavit filed by Kent denied that he had ever neglected his children, or failed to provide them with food and clothing and a good education. For the past twelve years he had never belonged in any way to the Church of Rome and had determined from what he had seen therein that no more of his children should be brought up in that faith. He had frequently attended churches of various Protestant denominations, though he had not formally joined any one. He entirely denied having treated the said infant, or any of his children, with harshness or unkindness, or having deserted or failed to maintain his wife and family. When he left them in 1873 he left a four-roomed cottage, well furnished, with two acres of land, part of which was in cultivation as a market garden, six tons of hay, six head of cattle, two goats and a number of fowls. ducks &c; that his two sons, who were living with his wife, were receiving wages in the aggregate over £1 10s per week and that he was never applied to for help during his absence. The reason why he had brought his children to Christchurch, including the said infant, was to have then educated and that the said infant had always been sent both to day and Sunday school. That the said infant always seemed fond of him and never wished to go away and he verily believed if he were not handed over to him he would suffer both physically and morally and lose what little knowledge he had attained, as his wife would not permit him to go to school.

In support of this affidavit there were affidavits from Mrs Laine, a daughter by his first wife, denying the cruelty to his fire wife and children; from Mrs Flindell and Mr Sopp, the schoolmaster of St Luke's school, who spoke of the boy's progress at the school and as to the health and tidiness of the infant and his fear of his mother and from Mesdames Flindell, O'Keefe, Leake and Ausley as to his health and general good appearance while with his father in Christchurch.

Mrs Kent now appeared in obedience to the writ and produced the child, entering into a long explanation of the circumstances of the case.
His Honor said that the affidavits filed by Mrs Kent did not show a prima facie case for retaining the custody of the child and were contradicted by the affidavits of independent witnesses. There was no doubt whatever that the father by law was entitled to the custody of the child unless the Court saw that the child would be morally contaminated, or was in danger of life or person. The affidavits of Mrs Kent stated that the child had been ill-treated and neglected by his father, but there was ample evidence that this was greatly exaggerated. Even if the court were to rely on the affidavits of Mrs Kent - evidently exaggerated and possibly false - it could not give the mother the custody of the child. The Court was not to judge of sentimental matters as to where the mother or father deserved most sympathy; all it had to do was to see whether the father was not a fit and proper person to have the custody of his children. This the affidavits before the Court did not sufficiently establish; hence the Court had no alternative but to order the child to be given up to the custody of his father.
Mrs Kent said that she would not care so much so long as the child was brought up in the faith she belong to.
His Honor said this was a matter quite outside the jurisdiction or province of the Court. The law of England and of her colonies, in its anxiety to preserve the liberty of conscience, did not interfere with the right of any one to choose any form of faith then might think fit. Mr Kent had been a Protestant, had then become a Roman Catholic and his children had been baptised in that faith, but he had now declared himself a Protestant and wished to have his child brought up in that faith. This he had a perfect right to do if he thought proper and the law could in no way interfere with him. After reading the affidavits and hearing Mrs Kent, the order would be that the custody of the child be given to his father.
. Order accordingly.
Mr Cowlishaw said that the father was quite willing to allow the mother access at all reasonable times to the child; even to allow her to take him away for a day or two at a time, provided she gave an undertaking to return the child.

And now comes the worst part of the whole proceedings. The father and son walked out of Court, hand in hand, but in a second afterwards the boy made a clean bolt and has never since been heard of. An advertisement has appeared from Kent's counsel giving notice that whereas an order was made in the Supreme Court on Thursday the 16th instant, that a child named Edwin Charles Kent should be delivered into the custody of his father, William Kent and the child disappeared immediately after the order was made and cannot be found that anyone detaining the child will be liable to be prosecuted. The child is about 10 years old and 3ft 6in high, has fair hari and very pale complexion. When last seen, was dressed in a light grey tweed suit and was wearing a light-coloured soft felt hat. The next move, I presume, will be for the Minister of Justice to offer a considerable reward and this not having the desired effect, I have no doubt that search warrants will be issued right and left and I would not mind betting that I could lay my hands on him the very first shot. But the arrangements for spiriting the child away must have been very adroitly managed.

Discovery Of A Dead Woman. It was reported to the St. Kilda police on Thursday afternoon, the 22nd, by residents of Balaclava that an old woman named Mary Elizabeth Kent, 60 years of age (should be 68), had not been seen by anyone for several weeks. On removing the blinds of one of the windows of the house which she had occupied Senior constable McEvoy saw the dead body of the woman in a kneeling position by the side of a stretcher, the only furniture in the house. Her hands, which clasped a rosary, as if she had been in the act of prayer, were folded and the body partly undressed. The body was much decomposed, death having apparently taken place about 12 days ago. No food was found in the house, nor were there any signs of struggling. The deceased took the house in July last from Mr Kelly of High street, under the name of Mary Hamman and had paid rent up to 28th November. When the collector called later on he got no reply to his repeated knocks. In a portmanteau were papers showing that her maiden name was Mary Hamman, that she was married to William Kent, at Brighton, England, on the 12th February, 1864 and obtained a protection order in February 1873 at Timaru, N.Z. A purse containing 11s 1d., and a will bequeathing her property to H. E. Kent of Timaru, with a small annuity to the Roman Catholic bishop of that diocese, were also found in her possession.

Disappearance Mrs Kent, who led a secluded life in Sandytown disappeared suddenly and no trace of her whereabouts could be found. The local police have all along been making vigorous enquiries, but no record could be found by them. Mrs Kent's son only as recently as this morning made enquiries at the Police Station if any intimation had been received in reference to her unsatisfactory disappearance.

Temuka leader, 5 Jan 1888
Mystery Solved A few weeks ago a local appeared in these columns stating that Detective Kirby was in Geraldine making enquiries about an old lady named Mrs Kent, who had left her home in Sandietown, Timaru, some months previously without leaving any clue as to her destination. The detective's inquiries in this and other quarters were unsuccessful and at last it was concluded that Mrs Kent had left the colony for the Old Country as a steamer bound thither left about the time of her disappearance. All doubts to the fate of Mrs Kent is now wet at rest by the following extract from the Melbourne Catholic Advocate, which was handed to the Timaru mail by Father Foley:-
The discovery by the Melbourne police recently of the dead body of an old woman named Mary Elizabeth Kent, who was found in a kneeling position by her bedside in a house at Balaclava, has cleared up a mystery which has been exercising the people of Timaru. The old woman lived a very secluded life near Timaru, but she suddenly disappeared, over 12 months ago, and no trace of her could be found. As she had a son in the North Island, it was thought she might have joined him, When the son recently returned, and his mother could not be found, suspicion was aroused that the old woman had met with foul play, and the search was renewed, but nothing to throw any light on her disappearance was found until news was received of her death at Balaclava.

The Timaru Mystery. Affair Cleared Up A short time ago (says the Timaru correspondent of the Christchurch Press), I telegraphed you that an elderly woman named Kent, who led a somewhat secluded life in Sandytown, disappeared suddenly and no trace of her whereabouts could be found. The local police have all along been making vigorous inquiries, but no record could be found by them. Mrs Kent's son only as recently as Wednesday morning made inquiries at the police station if any intimation had been received in reference to her unsatisfactory disappearance, However, the following clipping placed at my disposal by Father Foley, of Timaru, clears up the mystery .. repeat of above clipping

Stratford and Ngaire There is rather a grim joke going about in regard to the deceased of Mr Kent, of Ngaire. It appears that Sergeant Bissett was up on the previous day delivering accounts to various persons upon whom the Charitable Aid Board had a claim and in the course of the day waited upon Mr Kent with an account for £35 (equivalent in Aug 2014 to $6,720). He found the deceased apparently strong and able to enter into a long conversation, although evidently greatly put out and concerned at the claim made against him. On the following morning, however, the Sergeant was astonished to hear that Mr Kent was dead and it is now going the rounds that the worthy Sergeant must have frightened him to death.
