MRS. T. DEVINE.
Mrs. T. Devine, who passed away at Otaki last week in her 78th year, was one of the sturdy pioneers who helped to carve Wellington from the wilderness. She was born at Lowry Bay in 1856, when the bay was owned by her great uncle, Mr. Jackson. From Lowry Bay her parents (Mr. and Mrs. John Wood) moved to Wainui-o-Mata, where she spent her school days, and from there she was married to Mr. T. Devine, who survives her. They started out in their life's work 60 years ago on a bush section in Whiteman's Valley, with only an acre of two cleared on which their bach stood. At the time there were no roads except the bush tracks from Silverstream, from where provisions had to be carried into their section, often by the lady herself. At this time medical service was far distant. and this pioneer proved herself a good neighbour in sickness and in health. For 40 years she and her husband worked their section until it was fully cleared and grassed, and proved a good sheep farm. When declining years crept on they moved to Otaki, to be near some of their family. Of a family of eight, six are living—Messrs Jack (Mamaku), Thomas (Levin), James Devine (Feilding), and Mrs. Noble (Otaki), Mrs. Nelson (Taumarunui), and Mrs. Gurney (Otaki). There are 23 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. The service at the Upper Hutt Methodist Church and at the graveside was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Liddell, of Carterton, and Mr. Cochrane, of Upper Hutt, and was largely attended by old settlers and friends.
