DEATH of William Hankin
Huon Times, 6 Dec 1921
Mr WILLIAM HANKIN On Tuesday, 29th November, there passed away at the Hobart Hospital Mr William Hankin, aged 64, a well known and highly respected resident of Geeveston. Mr Hankin had been in indifferent health for some time past and had some time previous gone to Hobart for treatment. The deceased had practically lived his whole life in the district and for a number of years was a member of the old road trust, the municipal council and fruit board, always taking a keen interest in the affairs and progress of the district, besides also during his lifetime creating a fine property situated on the Arve road.

..6 1889 - 1968 Albert George Hankin
Albert married Sarah 'Dorothy' Douglas (1889-1960) in June 1917
Huon Times, 6 July 1917WEDDING BELLS The wedding took place on Wednesday, June 27th, at the Franklin Church, of Miss D. Douglas, daughter of Mrs and the late Mr Douglas; and Albert, son of Mr and Mrs Wm. Hankin, both of Geeveston. Rev Father Hennessy officiated. The bride wore a beautiful costume of blue serge and was attended by Mrs M. Hankin as bridesmaid, the groomsman being Mr Marshall Hankin. The wedding was quietly celebrated as a brother of the bride is returning the next few day from the war badly wounded. The young couple have a very wide circle of friends and were the recipients of many presents, coupled with best wishes for their future happiness.
The Mercury, 30 Nov 1937 An Interesting Experiment In the Huon district, it is usual to space apple trees 16ft apart, and while this, in conjunction with the refinements of cultivation usually practised, may be regarded as constituting an intensive system of apple production, there are a few orchards in which much closer spacing has been employed with interesting results. The orchard of Mr Albert Hankin, of Geeveston, ls an excellent example of Intensive planting, the spacing being 9ft to 10ft between trees, with rows 12ft apart. Mr Hankin, who is a son of the late Mr William Hankin, a pioneer Geeveston grower, purchased his present property from Mrs Cecil Riley, whose, husband's father, Mr James Riley, acquired it as bush land. When Mr Hankin took over the block it consisted mainly of scrub, with a little grass-land and about half an acre of orchard which had been planted on a 12ft by 9ft spacing by Mr Riley. Mr Hankin cleared and grassed most of the land, establishing good paddocks close to the homestead and some 13 years ago, he Increased the orchard to four acres, retaining the original spacing. The land, which is of boulder clay type of glacial origin, was covered with ti-tree scrub and in places lay very wet. This moisture Mr Hankin controlled with tile drainage, which functions admirably. Some idea of the drainage problem may be seen in an area of about half an acre of healthy young trees growing on what was formerly a quaking bog. This area received 1,200ft of tiles. The trees, at 13 years old, are yielding an annual crop of 2,000 bushels or 500 to the acre and their vigour and uniformity provide a tribute to the effectiveness of the regular manuring and cultivation they have received. The main varieties are Jonathan, Alfriston, Sturmer and Democrat.
Albert died in Tasmania 15 May 1968 aged 79

..7 1891 - 1891 Arnold Rupert Hankin
Arnold died in Tasmania 23 Jan 1891 aged 11 days

..8 1893 - 1974 Herman Bernard Hankin
Herman married Edith May Williams (1896-) 1 Oct 1917
* They divorced in 1928
Advocate, 6 March 1928 DIVORCE CASE His Honor granted a decree nisi, returnable in three months. Herman Bernard Hankin, who sought the dissolution of his marriage with May Edith Hankin, was represented by Mr A. E. Richardson and Henry Tuttle was cited as co-respondent. Hankin, who is a labourer residing in Hobart, stated in evidence that he married the respondent on October 1, 1917 in Franklin and they had lived at Sandy Bay. In October 1925 he went home from work and found that respondent had packer things and left him. Shortly afterwards he heard from her at Sydney. She returned at his request, offering no explanations of her conduct. Frequently she stayed away from home all night and, becoming suspicious, he suspected her relations with Tuttle. As a result he and a friend named George Pelham watched her and on four consecutive nights saw her enter a house in Bathurst street in company with Tuttle in the early evening and not leave until the morning. The decree nisi was granted.
The Mercury, 23 March 1934 CUSTODY OF CHILDREN An application arising from the divorce suit Hankin v Hankin and Tuttle, in which a decree absolute was declared on September 17, 1928 came before Mr Justice Crisp in Chambers at Hobart yesterday. Mr J. D. Morris (Ogilvie, McKenna, and Morris) appealed for Edith May Tuttle (formerly Hankin and Mr A. E. Richardson for Herman Bernard Hankin, the petitioner in the divorce suit. Mr Morris applied for the custody of two children of the Hankin marriage, Lionel George (1919-1935) and Desmond Maxwell (1921-1996), who are at present in the custody of the father. After evidence had been given and lengthy argument, His Honor made an order, by consent, that the children should be transferred to the custody of their mother.
NOTE Another son, Douglas Bernard Hankin (1917-1980) (born 1 Oct 1917, later known as Tuttle), was described in Aug 1930, as a neglected and uncontrollable, 13 year old child. His mother discharged him to become a child of the State. He lived at Ashley Home for Boys at Deloraine. He was also charged with stealing a bicycle and horses. He was allowed to go stay with his mother in Hobart for the Easter holidays in 1931 so long as she refunded his fare.

FAMILY & TIMELINE of:
ROGER (aka Roderick) JONES (1801-1881) and ELIZA (Elizabeth) McCONAGHY (1836-1913) from Ireland to New Zealand. Roger arrived as a Fencible (81st foot?) into Auckland on the 'Ann' in 1848 (see list below). He was accompanied by his (1st) wife Sarah (nee Melville) & 3 children

NOTE
Researched for katma who wrote 13 March 2019 ..
Roger Jones Fencible Born 1801, Rossory, Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland came to Otahuhu, Auckland, NZ aboard the ship Ann in 1848 as a fencible to help protect settlers. He married (2nd wife) Eliza(beth) McConaghy on 25 Oct 1852, and he died in Dunedin in 1881. My GG grandfather was his son .. his name was James Jones .. b circa 1859 and according to marriage & death cert he was born in New Zealand .. I have searched everywhere for details of his birth in NZ but cannot find anything. Its James's actual birth record I cannot find .. it doesnt come up in the New Zealand Births deaths and marriages records .. children found from there are
1853 Mary Elizabeth
1857 Rose Ann
1861 William
1863 Robert
1865 Ellen
1868 Eliza
1870 Susan
1872 Mary Anne
1874 Thomas
1880 William (died the day after Roger 14 mths)
A big gap between 1874 and 1880. Eliza would of been round 44-45 yrs in 1880 - its odd that there would be two Williams maybe William in 1861 changed his name to James .. A distant relative said he was born on 12 Oct 1859, but that was some years ago and have lost his contact details now .. so hoping someone, anyone may be able to help out there ... many thanks

The FENCIBLES
Ten ships brought 721 pensioner soldiers between 1847-1852. The men numbered 721 and, together with their families, comprised a total of over 2,500 new settlers for the villages of Onehunga, Otahuhu, Howick and Panmure.
A large number of the families were from Ireland, which was in the middle of the famine and all would have been leaving for a better life in NZ.
Because of the Potato famine and typhus fever many were suffering from the effects of hunger and malnutrition. Some had found temporary lodgings in densely crowded, unhygienic accommodation weeks before boarding the ship and a number died on board or were sent to the Colonial Hospital on arrival. One of the worst affected were was those who arrived on the 'Sir Robert Sale' which was in dock at the same time as the 'Ramilies & 'Minerva' but as most of the passengers were sick they had to remain on board for 6 weeks.

The promise of owning land would have been a great incentive. When the first contingent arrived it had not been decided where they should settle. The cottages were not built. The families quickly settled into life in NZ building their own houses, growing vegetables and finding work on neighbouring farms.
The men had served in many regiments of the British Army in many parts of the world. They were used to harsh conditions and many were "pensioned out" as being unfit for further active service, largely due to rheumatism. Sometimes wives and children would have marched behind the regiment. The Fencibles were a large group of immigrants who swelled Auckland's population. They created the four villages, now suburbs of Auckland. They were instrumental in the creation of roads, bridges and lines of communication. They shaped the communities with churches, schools, shops and local governing bodies.
The average age of the men was about 40. They settled in the suburbs of Howick, Onehunga, Otahuhu and Panmure. At Howick a redoubt was built on Stockade Hill, a prominent hill at the north end of the village's main street. The position, with its associated earth works, is still there. In the 1849 census one third of Auckland's population were fencibles, half Anglican, half Catholic. Apart from working on their own plots most men were engaged in building roads between the fencible settlements. The material used for road building was scoria from volcanic cones at Pigeon Mountain (then called Pigeon Tree Hill), Mount Richmond and Mount Wellington.

The fencibles were first called to action in 1851 when a large party of about 350–450 Ngāti Pāoa from the Thames and Waiheke Island areas arrived at Auckland's Mechanics Bay in about 20 waka to attack the city. A British regiment at Albert Park Barracks was called out to the hill overlooking the bay. It was reinforced by fencibles who had come from Onehunga, the closest fencible town. Fencibles at Howick and Panmure were stood to in case of further trouble. The frigate 'HMS Fly' trained its guns on the Maori war party from offshore. The cause of the aggression was the arrest of a Ngāti Pāoa chief who had stolen a shift from a shop in Shortland Street. The situation was defused when the attackers were given tobacco and blankets. Later Ngāti Pāoa sent a greenstone mere to the governor.
A group of 121 Ngāti Mahuta under the great Waikato chief Te Wherowhero were also brought to South Auckland to defend the capital. They were given land at Mangere in 1849. They supplied their own arms but had British officers.
During the 1863 war about 75 military pensioners and their sons served in the Auckland Militia to defend Auckland.

It is estimated that there are over a quarter of a million descendants of Fencible families living today spread around the world. The villages are now bustling communities. The Fencibles came for a better life, they committed themselves to developing their communities with their labour and their limited resources. They are to be remembered with respect, for without their service the shape of Auckland would have been a very different place to what it is today.

The SHIPS:
* 'Ramilies' 5 Aug 1847
- Royal Engineers, 12 Sappers & Miners. 67 Pensioners, 57 Women, 123 Children. Apparently the Fencibles/Pensioners on the Ramilies were not located in Auckland. Also arrived in Van Dieman's land (Hobart), Dec 1845 with 233 rank & file of the 11th, 58th, 96th and 99th regiments and officers

* 'Minerva' 8 Oct 1847
- 80 Pensioners, 67 Women, 145 children. 6 births & 7 deaths. The fencibles of the Minerva mainly settled Howick

* 'Sir Robert Sale' 11 Oct 1847
- 74 Pensioners, 69 Women, 142 children. 5 births & 12 deaths. The fencibles of the Sir Robert Sale mainly settled Howick

* 'Sir George Seymour' 26 Nov 1847
- 78 Pensioners, 63 Women, 114 children. 14 deaths. The fencibles of the Sir George Seymour mainly settled Howick

* 'Clifton' 23 Jan 1848

* 'Ann' 16 May 1848
- 74 Pensioners, 70 Women, 153 children. The fencibles of the Ann mainly settled Otahuhu
New Zealander, 17 May 1848
Yesterday afternoon the bargue Ann, 800 tons, Captain S. C. Walker, arrived from Belfast, whence she sailed on the 25th Dec. She left the land on the 7th January; arrived at Table Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on the 12th April and sailed again on the 17th. She brings a detachment of the Royal New Zealand Fencible Corps, comprising Assistant Surgeon F. W. Bacot and seventy-seven men under the command of Captain Hickson, whose lady and family are amongst her passengers. There are, likewise, sixty-six of the pensioner's wives and one hundred and forty-five of their children, thirty-seven of whom are adults.
The Ann has not escaped the all prevailing influenza, that trying epidemic having carried off a few victims. The deaths were twelve and the births four.
We are greatly pleased with the general appearance of the new comers. The men seem to be hale, hearty fellows and with their wives and families likely to prove a valuable accession to our population. They are chiefly from the north of Ireland.
The Ann sailed originally from London and in consequence of her having touched the Arklow bank, without damage, on her passage down the Irish Channel, was erroneously reported to have put back. She has a variety of government stores on board.

* 'Berhampore' 16 June 1848
- 80 Pensioners, 67 Women, 101 children. 7 births. The fencibles of the Berhampore mainly settled Otahuhu

* 'Oriental Queen' 18 Sep 1848

* Inchannan' 27 May 1852
- 78 Pensioners, 68 Women, 113 children. 10 births & 22 deaths, mostly measles and chicken pox

* Berwick Castle 13 Dec 1852

At some stage Roger moved south and is buried in the Southern Cemetery, Dunedin. This journal is an endeavour to trace his steps and therefore his family around NZ for his descendants.

The FAMILY:
Roger Jones (1801-1881) was born in Rossory, Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland.
he married Sarah Melville (1805-1849) in Ireland
NOTES
* At Roger's death in 1881 it is reported that 2 male & 5 female children were still living. In a process of elimination any of the children marked with • died before him.
* Be aware that many births (& sometimes marriages) were often only registered with one name even though they may have also been given a middle name (or two), which, back in the day was usually used as their first name anyway!. For some reason women who married for a second time often only registered with the one name they used most, even if they had 2-3-4 names. This may help you in your searches.

The TIMELINE:
* On 22 April 1853 Roger, along with many other Electors of Auckland, signed a 'petition' requesting Lieut-Colonel Robert Henry Wynyard (1802-1864), to allow himself to be put in nomination for the office of Superintendent of the Province of Auckland. He had performed the duties of the Lieutenant-Governorship of New Ulster for the previous two years.
* New Ulster was a province of the Colony. It was named after the Irish province of Ulster. Between 1841 and 1846 the province included all the North Island north of the Patea River. With the passing of the NZ Constitution Act 1846, the province came to include all of the North Island. Like the other province of NZ at the time, New Munster Province was headed by a Lieutenant-Governor who reported to the Governor of NZ

On 7 Dec 1855 Roger was one of many Electors of Auckland who signed the petition against Dr John Logan Campbell's (1817-1912) return to the Superintendency, that the election of the said John Logan Campbell be declared null and void and that Frederick Whitaker (1812-1891) be duly elected as Superintendent of the Province of Auckland

Evening Post, 24 May 1899
We regret to record the death, at his residence in Epuni-street, of Mr Alfred R. Bolland, civil engineer, who came out to Wellington in 1872 under engagement to Messrs Brogden, the great railway contractors. Mr Bolland was employed in the construction of the Hutt railway and was also connected with several other works carried out by the Brogdens. In his younger days he went out to Rio de Janeiro and practised his profession there for some time. After serving his connection with the Brogdens he took up his residence in Sydney and was on the staff of one of the daily papers there for a time. For several years past he had been in failing health and his death was not unexpected. The deceased, who was married to a daughter of the late Mr Vaughan, one of Wellington's early settlers, is survived by his widow and a family of six sons.

NZ Times, 23 Feb 1903 BOON - On February 21st, at 93 Daniell street (Newtown), after a brief illness, Thomas George Boon, aged 56 years. Mr Boon was, for twenty-five years in the employ of the Wellington Harbour Board. The deceased had occupied the position of timekeeper and labour foreman at the Queen's Wharf for some years. The late Mr Boon was born in London in 1847. He served in the Indian Mutiny with the Ninetieth Foot, under Sir Evelyn Wood, then Major Wood. He arrived in New Zealand twenty-seven years ago, The deceased leaves a wife and three children. The vessels in port flew their house flags at half-mast yesterday as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased. The Friends of Mr Thomas George Boon are respectfully invited to attend his Funeral, which will leave his residence, 93 Daniel street, Newtown, this afternoon (Tuesday), 24th February 1903, for Karori Cemetery, at 2 o'clock.

28 Feb 1903 The late Mr Thomas Boon, who was well-known as labour foreman on the Queen's Wharf, for the Harbour Board, will be sadly missed. He was every energetic in the discharge of his responsible duties and in "off" times could be persuaded to spin a thrilling yard of the stirring times of the Indian Mutiny. He had not long left the Army (90th Foot) when he came to New Zealand and was engaged for two years in whatever his hands found to do. For twenty-five years he had been in the employ of the Harbour Board. may time-expired soldier, who had fought under Major Wood (now General Sir Evelyn Wood, V.C.) came to New Zealand in 1875-1876 and the genial Tom boon was among them. Both in his business and private relations the deceased gentleman had made hosts of friends and his untimely death makes a gap it will be difficult to fill.

Augustus Vaughan died 14 April 1882 at the Reefton Hospital
Reefton Herald, 15 April 1882
A tailor named Augustus Vaughan, very well known throughout the West Coast, expired in the Reefton Hospital yesterday. He will be familiar to the public in Reefton in connection with the charge of sly-grog selling some years ago, when the deceased acted as informant for the police at the outset of the case, but allowed his evidence to break down when the matter came on for judicial inquiry. He quite lately revisited Reefton, having come up from Greymouth. On reaching Lardi's he was unable to walk further and as the man was completely destitute and much enfeebled, word was sent to the police. Before any steps could be taken however, he was brought to Reefton by wagon and was admitted to the Hospital on Tuesday last in a hopeless condition and he expired. The funeral will leave the Hospital on Sunday. The deceased was 54 years of age and leaves a wife in Wellington and five children throughout the colonies, but particulars of their addresses cannot be ascertained. It was reported that one daughter was a female operator in the New Zealand telegraph service, but inquiries made by Mr D. O. Preshaw, did not result in the verification of the statement ..

Passed outside the Cape de Verdes, after experiencing a heavy westerly gale which lasted four or five days and sustaining pretty considerable damage to the ship in consequence of the violence of the gale about the channel and before passing the Cape de Verde. Afterwards experienced favourable weather until crossing the equator, which was done on the 9th of April, in 28 west. Had SSE to SSW winds at this time, with but slight trades. Passed the meridian of the Cape on the 11th May and the meridian of Greenwich on the 4th May, experiencing during that time easterly winds. Ran down easting between 41 and 46, with wind invariably from the easterly direction at the time. Slighted Tasmania on the 11th instant and made the Three Kings on Sunday last, the 18th, with light wind from SE to SW down the coast until arriving off Rangitoto after sundown last evening. Spoke only a to a Dutch barque, with troops on board fro Amsterdam during the passage, in the SE trades.
There were 9 births and 7 deaths, with one premature birth and one still-born during the passage. The passengers are in medical charge of Mr Campbell, M.D., who reports all in a healthy state, with no sickness of a serious nature during the passage, the deaths being confined to weakly infants.
There was likewise a marriage on board the ship between two passengers named SAMUEL HOLT & IDA TIMPERLEY, who were joined in the bonds of wedlock by Captain Wallace, in the presence of a large assemblage of the passengers.

The immigrants, who were the last to arrive on account of the General Government, number 692 statute adults, a good number of whom are females in charge of Mrs Ann Palmer, matron.
On casting anchor, a congratulatory address was presented to the captain by the passengers, as well as a testimonial to the surgeon of the vessel (Dr Campbell) and the schoolmaster (Mr Reid), Mr Thomas Peacock (optician), Mrs Thomas Peacock, Messrs D. and Alexander Brown (dyers) and Mr Proud (iron and brass founder).

NOTE Remember, the ages of passengers on the immigration lists were/are very unreliable, they often changed their ages to comply with immigration regulations. Ages in brackets are nearer to real age.

* 1871 - 1893 William Shaw Morrow
Wanganui Chronicle, 29 Jan 1874 JUVENILE THIEVES At the Thames Police Court recently four juvenile thieves were brought up charged with stealing the copper off Souter's battery and also with stealing metal, consisting of doors of the battery, boxes and false bottoms. Two of the boys named Michael Conroy and Henry Huckstep, each about 14 years of age ere sentenced to three days imprisonment and a whipping. The other two boys were Adam Morrow, aged 13 and Bernard Morrow, aged 9. These were each sentenced to three days imprisonment and at the termination of that sentence, the former was ordered to be sent to the Industrial School for three years and the latter for five years. There is, says a local paper, rather a sad history connected with these boys. A short time ago their elder brother, who was the chief support of the family, enlisted in the Navy Militia Corps. This preyed upon the mind of his mother, a widow woman and she became insane and was recently committed to the Asylum. These two lads, the two younger ones, were thus left without any protection except that bestowed by another brother, who is employed at Lempriere's brewery. He undertook the support of the two youngest children, but from the nature of his employment he was unable to see after the other two, who have therefore been left to themselves.

.. Mary Ann Quillan was born in Afhaberg, County Down, Norther Ireland. She married Christopher Tiernan/Tierney, also from Ireland, in Ball Green, Strathaven, Avondale, Scotland 19 July 1862 .. Read her bio here .. She died on 28 Oct 1921 in Tararu, Thames on the Coromandel Peninsula. She was 83 years old and had given birth to 12 children. None of her four sons left any children of their own, so the Tierney/Tiernan name did not thrive in the new country. The girls produced many children and grandchildren so Mary Ann's genes and, therefore, those of her parents Charles McQuillan and Ellen Doran remain in their descendants in New Zealand to this very day.

Williamson, Charlotte aged 30 (1834- sister of Mrs Jessie Herbert, see above)
- Charlotte married Captain Thomas Hudson, a widower, who had also been a passenger on The Resolute. Their marriage, 31 Dec 1867, was the first marriage at The Waima Wesleyan Chapel. The witnesses were Joseph Herbert, Shoe Maker, Hokianga and A. Chapman, Shipwright, Hokianga. Thomas and Charlotte purchased land at Taheke and built the Taheke Hotel. Taheke Post office opened 1 Jan 1879, with Thomas Hudson as Post Master, when he accepted the duties of receiving and dispatching the settler’s mail per the coach which came by Taheke from Kaikohe, each week. Mail also came in by boat once a week from Rawene. Thomas is shown as owning the Hotel in 1880. He died in Auckland, where he had been taken for better medical treatment, on 10 July 1883. Charlotte is known to have leased out the hotel for some years as there are letters asking for the rent. She is still shown as Proprietress in 1890-1891. It is known that her niece Alexandrina came out from Scotland and helped her in the Hotel and Joseph Nisbet Herbert, her nephew, is shown as the Post Master at Taheke, from 1 June 1889 until 1 Feb 1896. Joseph is shown as Store Keeper in the 1896-97 Directory and on his marriage certificate. Another nephew, Thomas Herbert, is shown in The Wise’s Directory as being a Saddler in Taheke. It is thought that in later years Charlotte also owned and operated a Millinery Shop in Queen Street, Auckland.

NOTE Mr John Hislop who for nearly forty years conducted business as a. watchmaker and jeweller at 74 Princes Street, Dunedin, was a well known colonist. As a man of business he was a credit to his guild, and all the branches of his trade were carried on with enlightened intelligence. The appliances used by him were of the best design and material, and he employed specially qualified persons in connection with cleaning and repairing watches and the manufacture of all kinds of jewellery. It used to be said that Queen Victoria never accepted presents from private individuals. Nevertheless, on the 13th of August, 1886, Mr. Hislop forwarded to her Majesty a scent bottle and paper-knife, together with a letter begging their acceptance. The sequel to this was that, afterwards, Mr. Hislop kept on his shop counter an appropriately framed letter written by Her Majesty's command, and dated the 26th of September, 1886, acknowledging the receipt of Mr. Hislop's letter and thanking him for his very beautiful gifts, for which the Queen expressed great admiration. Mr. Hislop was born in Liverpool in 1832, and served his apprenticeship partly in Scotland and partly in England. He came of a Greenock family, and his uncle, Mr. John Hislop, was a publisher of that place. Mr. Hislop left the Old Country for Australia in 1851 and entered into business at Bendigo, where he continued for most of his time in the sister colony, until attracted by the Otago gold “rush” in 1862, when he settled in Dredin and established his business. He was for several years a member of the North East Valley borough council and also held a seat on the Otago harbour board. As a Freemason he was attached to Lodge Otago Kilwinning, S.C., and had taken the Royal Arch and Knight Templar degrees. Mr. Hislop was married in 1873, and had in all twelve children—six sons and six daughters. He died in his shop, suddenly, on the 19th of October, 1900.

Auckland Star, 17 Sep 1906 DEATH of CAPTAIN STREATER Capt. Roland Streater, who with two others was injured through the collapse of a derrick on board the steamer Ayrshire some four weeks ago, died at his residence in Nelson-street at six o'clock last Saturday evening. Captain Streater's spine was badly injured and, paralysis having set in, his case was considered almost hopeless from the outset. A born sailor, he went to his first ship at the age of 16 years, trading to the Black Sea and the Far East. He joined the Shaw-Savill Co in the early eighties and it was not long before he was promoted to the rank of captain, being appointed to the command of the sailing ship 'Lutterworth' in 1887. In 1890 he was transferred to the ship 'Eutrope' and five years later he came out to new Zealand as chief officer of the s.s. 'Aotea'. Settling down in Auckland, he became a partner in the firm of Nearing and Co., stevedores. He took keen interest in all aquatic sport and was a member of the New Zealand Power Boat Association and owned the launch 'Seaford'. His wife, three sisters and a brother survive him. His sisters reside in England and the brother in Constantinople. The flags of the boats in port and the various shipping offices are lowered to half-mast as a mark of respect to his memory ..

A really novel note was struck by Mrs Rankine Brown last week with her charmingly-planned Violet Tea. The rooms were decorated with them, every guest wore a cluster on her bodice and some on the muffs, a dainty fancy - and the tea table was so exquisite.. all the cakes were iced in violet, even some of the tea-cups had violet wreaths painted on them and a most successful novelty was sandwiches of violets, crystallised! There were two competitions, one was the writing of four lines or original poetry on the violet. The prizes for the competitions - one a charming satchel of rose satin strewn with embroidered violets - were won by Miss Kathleen Beauchamp (who later wrote as the talented Katherine Mansfield) and Miss Eva Butts ..

Mrs Butts, of Newtown, on one occasion many years ago, travelled in the same ship with the present King and the late Duke of Clarence. Some mishap had occurred to the Bacchante, on which the two Princes were travelling and they transferred themselves to a passenger steamer, on which were the late Colonel Butts, with his wife and two very small children. The Duke of Clarence was much interested in Colonel Butts' stories of shooting in India and both the Princes won the hearts of the children of whom they took a great deal of notice. They were pleasant boys, frank and friendly as the present King's sons seem to be. Years before, Colonel Butts had formed one of the guard of honour at the marriage of the Prince of Wales to Princess Alexandra and Mrs Butts treasures as an interesting memento, the buckle of the sword-belt her husband wore on that occasion with its badge of the Royal Irish Regiment. It did duty again when Mrs Butts wore it at the service on Friday. Another memento treasured by Miss Butts is a little pen and ink sketch which the Duke of Clarence did for her and which bears his signature.

It was a charming arrangement of coreopsis, as yellow as the guild's colour. Miss Clair Butts is the secretary of the guild and she and her fellow members bring a great deal of sunshine to many who sadly need such kindly cheering. Any profits of this party will be carefully expended in helping to make Christmastide a happy season to sick sufferers.

A great many people of Wellington and other parts of the Dominion will have heard with great regret of the death of Miss Muriel St Clair Butts, second daughter of Mrs Butts, of Gordon street, and the late Colonel Butts, 18th Royal Irish Regiment, who passed away after a long illness.

Among these was the reading to and care of blind people and she accomplished the task of learning to read Braille and conducted correspondence for and with the blind in all parts of the Dominion, as well as transcribing many stories, pamphlets and parts of books into Braille for their enjoyment. She was a regular visitor at the Victoria Hospital for Chronic Invalids and wrote letters for them, as well as other kindnesses and giving the cheer of her presence in regular visits.

Members of the Suburban Nursing Division met at Mrs Osborn's residence on Saturday evening, the occasion being the presentation to the division of the Clair Butt's Memorial Trophy. A beautiful cup, which bears the following inscription: "Claire Butt's Memorial Trophy, present by Mrs Butts, 1917, Wellington Suburban Nursing Division, S.J.A.B.O., for Individual Home Nursing." In making the presentation, Mrs Butts spoke of Miss Butts' long association with ambulance work and expressed the hope that members would be very keen in this home nursing competition. Mrs Osborn, in returning thanks to Mrs Butts for her generosity in giving such a handsome trophy to perpetuate the memory of the late Sister Claire Butts, felt sure that with such a great example as Miss Butts had set, members would try to follow in her footsteps and in remembering the great Order to which they belong would endeavour to be as loyal as she was to it. In competing for the trophy, all would bear her in loving memory. Mrs Butts, who was accompanied by Mrs Disbury, was presented with a beautiful posy by the members of the division.

OBITUARY - Mrs Lucy Anna Butts (1851-1831)
The death occurred yesterday of a well-known and highly respected lady, Mrs Butts, widow of the late Lieutenant-Colonel Butts, 18th Royal Irish Regiment and daughter of the late Major and Mrs Nixon, of Sedgwick Estate, Wanganui.
Mrs Butts, who had resided a great many years in Wellington, was a highly cultivated woman with the old-school ideas of courtesy and duty towards others. She had a delightful sense of humour, a wonderful memory, never forgetting a face or name and was a great social favourite as she had a never-failing fund of cheerful pleasantness which made her a delightful companion and friend. Mrs Butts was eminently kind too and was always ready to help others, though she was the last to make any mention or parade of her good deeds.
After the death of one of her daughters, Miss Clare Butts, Mrs Butts lived with her daughter Miss Eva Butts at Clifton terrace. She was 80 years of age and was born at Stoke, Nelson, but soon afterwards the family moved to Wanganui and took up the well-known Sedgwick Estate.

Mrs Butts came of a very interesting family. Her grandmother was a Miss Turton, daughter of Sir Thomas Turton, of Starborough Castle, Kent. She married first a Mr Petersen, son of a well-known Count Petersen, of Norway, who, during the Napoleonic War, was a fugitive from his country and a sloop of was was sent for him to the coast of Holland, bringing him to England, where he settled and bought an estate in Kent.
Mrs Nixon's two sisters married Italian noblemen, one the Marchese Burl-Macchi, of Milan and the other Conti Riccardi, the family of the latter living at Eden hall, Kent, not far from Starborough Castle. Both families attained high positions and are historical people.

The late Lieutenant-Colonel Butts came to Wellington as Commandant of the District and held the position up till the time of his death, many years ago. The family includes Miss Butts (of Clifton terrace, Wellington), Mr Harry Butts (manager of the Bank of Australasia, Tauranga) and Mr Pitt Butts (Rotorua). Much sympathy will be felt with them in the loss of their mother, who was to the end full of interest in life, a great reader of good literature and who kept herself up to date in every sense of the expression

NOTES Patent Application 24 Oct 1899, Serial No 732,475, at the US Patent Office, Charles Joseph Cooze of Carterton, New Zealand, Non-Refillable Bottle. The object of this invention is to provide a cheap and simple bottle which cannot be re filled after its original contents have been poured out. To this end I fit a glass disk into the neck of the bottle and provide the disk with a trap formed by bending a piece of tubing'into a U shape or by making a bowl with a partition, so that liquid may flow into the tube or bowl to the other side of the disk. A tube of small diameter extends above the neck and downward through the said disk to the bottom of the bottle, and immediately above the disk it is weakened by attenuation, so that it may be readily broken off?. After the tube has been thus broken off a perforated disk is fitted into the neck of the bottle above the first-mentioned disk. Patented 24 July 1900
