Obituary - Mrs R. P. Hill
Old residents of Southbridge will be sorry to hear of the death of Mrs Rowland Parker Hill, which took place in Christchurch on Sunday at the age of 82 years.
Her father, the late Mr John Collier, arrived in Wellington in the early forties, and there at Thorndon the late Mrs R. P. Hill, second daughter, was born. Her father had settled in Lyttelton prior to the arrival of the first four ships, and set up business as its first storekeeper. Later years saw him and family successfully farming at Moeraki Downs, Cust. Mrs R. P. Hill was educated at Hagley House School, and her brain remained clear and active to the end, and to her intimate friends she told interesting stories of the events of the past. Mrs Hill was married to the late R. P. Hill at Moeraki Downs, Cust, in 1871. Mr Hill was afterwards licensee of the Lower Selwyn Hotel, and subsequently of the British Hotel, Christchurch. Retiring from business, Mr and Mrs Hill made a home at Shirley. In 1892 they removed to Southbridge, where they took over the old Royal Hotel, which was destroyed by fire sometime after Mr Hill sold out to Mr M. Riordan, now of Leeston. Mr Hill was a member of the Town Board and took a very active interest in local affairs generally. On leaving Southbridge Mr and Mrs Hill settled at Avonside, and there Mr Hill died twenty-three years ago. The late Mrs Hill was a regular attendant at Holy Trinity Church, Avonside. She leaves two daughters, Mrs James Morrison (Linwood) and Mrs E. C. Inwood (Southbridge), and a sister, Mrs H. Brittan (Avonside).-Ellesmere Guardian 21 July 1931. Contributor: Karaka (46787675).
