Evening Post, 24 February 1911 THE INQUEST
... At the inquest on Alexander Forbes Orr (held in Christchurch), one witness stated that when the canoe was got ashore Orr's body was found lying in a prone position, with the feet under the thwarts, and his hands clasped. The appearance of the body led witness to believe that deceased had a seizure of some kind, and was dead before he could have been drowned. He appeared to witness to have gone to sleep. There was a current where the canoe was found, and a bank of weeds, and probably the canoe struck this bank and overturned. The constable who took charge of the body stated that there were no indications that deceased was unsober. A verdict that deceased accidentally met his death by drowning was recorded

Evening Post, 11 April 1930 A WIDOW'S CLAIM
... "I am asked to say that the testator has, by benefiting a charity, been guilty of want of appreciation of the moral claims of the widow", said his Honour Mr Justice Blair, when giving judgment to-day on the claim of a widow to further provision from her husband's estate. "A man must be just before he is generous, and the widow's claims must take priority to a charity". His Honour said that, after considering all the circumstances, he thought the widow was entitled to better treatment than she obtained under the will. The claimant was Annie Barbara Orr, aged 70, who sought further provision from her late husband's estate that was granted by the will. The income of ?132 per annum now being received from the estate was ordered by his Honour to be increased to ?185 with restraint upon anticipation, the annuity to be charge on the whole estate with a direction to the trustees to resort to capital for any deficiency in income. The testator's only son, John Forbes Orr, was granted a suspensory order (also see David McKinley Orr below)

NOTES
from Past and Present, and Men of the Times, 1897 ... Mr. John Forbes Orr, the well-known proprietor of the Wellington City Buffet, was born at Kilbarchan, Scotland, in the year 1834. Came to the colonies in the year 1857 as cook of the s.s. Admilla. Joined McMeikan and Blackwood's employ, trading between Melbourne and New Zealand for a period of eight years. After continuing for another eight years on the coast of New Zealand, started the Waterloo Dining Rooms in Lambton Quay, Wellington, in the year 1873. Finding the rooms insufficient for the demand, and that a better class of house was required Mr. Orr had the magnificent building erected which now stands a credit to the city, under the name of the City Buffet Hotel. Mr. Orr is now 62 years of age, and, as will be seen by his portrait, wears well, which is quite in keeping with his catering, as the general public of Wellington can testify ...
* John Forbes Orr applied for the Honeymoon Hotel, Karori in 1877. He had the Bellevue Hotel in Waiwetu road, Otaki District in 1901 (he first had the City Buffet Hotel with David McKinley Orr. That partnership was dissolved in 1889 and John took into partnership with him, Arthur Robert Venn Lodder (1853-1911), late Lieutenant of the NZ Torpedo Corps) & the firm was named 'Orr and Lodder'.

Wanganui Herald, 25 May 1908 SERIOUS ASSAULT IN WELLINGTON
... While going along Clyde Quay about 9 o'clock on Saturday night, a young married man named John Forbes Orr was suddenly attacked by a man who stabbed him in the neck, inflicting a severe wound, which just missed the jugular vein. The assailant, who also threatened to shoot Orr, then calmly walked away as if nothing had happened. There appears to been no reason whatever for the outrage. The assailant was a big burly man unknown to Orr, who is of small physique. The injury is not likely to have any more serious result than of incapacitating Orr for some days

... An originating summons under the Family protection Act for an order making provision for the maintenance of John Forbes Orr, out of the estate of his late father, David McKinley Orr, of Johnsonville, was heard by Mr justice Blair in the Supreme Court on Thursday. The testator left his widow, Annie Barbara Orr, ?300 and the income from the residuary estate for life. The whole estate was valued at about ?2700, and on the widow's death the residue was to go to the Wellington Hospital Board. The widow subsequently applied for further provision out of the estate and was granted an annuity of ?185 charge upon the residuary estate, leave being reserved to John Forbes Orr to apply for an order in his favour within three months of his mother's death. Yesterday he was granted an annuity of ?75 (2013 equivalent of $7900 or $152 per week), with the right to the Hospital Board to require the Public Trustee at any time to purchase an annuity of that amount, or to set aside sufficient in the opinion of the trustee to provide such annual payment
NOTE John had earlier made an application to the Court for a further provision in his favour on the ground that as he was totally deaf he might become incapacitated from earning his living. He sought a suspensory order giving him the right to apply for relief at any time in the future

Evening Post, 6 November 1917 DEATH OF MR THOMAS ORR
... Yesterday saw the passing of another well-known Wellington identity, Mr Thomas Orr. Born in County Armagh, Ireland, in 1835, the late Mr Orr served his time with Harland and Wolff, of shipbuilding fame, and came to the Dominion in the year 1864. He landed at Lyttelton, but two or three years later removed to Wellington, where he followed the occupation of building contractor until about twenty years ago, when he retired. Though he took no practical part in public affairs, the deceased gentleman was a keen student of men and conditions, especially with regard to the present war. Mr and Mrs Orr, the latter of whom survives her husband, were the first couple to be married in St Paul's Pro-Cathedral. This was in 1866. The late Mr Orr, who resided at 18 Featherston-terrace, is survived by four daughters - Mrs A. Osborne and Mrs Arthur Greening of Wellington, Mrs S. Clendon, Lower Hutt and Mrs C. E. Archibald, Dunedin - and two sons - Mr Thomas Orr of Johannesburg and Mr John Orr, late of Macky, Logan and Co., Auckland, who is now serving in France as a signaller. The interment, which will take place at Karori Cemetery on Thursday morning, will be of a private nature. The service at the graveside will be conducted by the Rev J. Reed Glasson
