The death has taken 1 place in Auckland of a veteran social worker, Mrs Annie Alice Hutchinson, ex-matron of the Door of Hope, at the age of HO years. Mrs Hutchinson practically devoted the whole of her life to rescue work among Tyomen. She Was born in Ireland in 1845, the daughter of MiMaurice Rountree. Her brother, the late Mr S. G. Rountree, was manager of the Auckland Savings Bank lor a number of years. Mrs Hutchinson came to New.Zealand in,a sailing ship with her parents, and later married Lieutenant Charles J. Hutchiii&on at the Taranaki military forces, in New Flymouth; who died three years ago. In the early 'eighties, says an Auckland paper, Mrs Hutchinson left tor Australia and there began her social work, under the banner of the Salvation Army. In Brisbane and Melbourne she became an indefatigable worker, uplifting women and young girls Mid taking words of cheer and encouragement into the prison. She became a recognised power of good, and 'when'she. left Australia she carried a testimonial signed by nearly every member of the Melbourne Police Force, thanking her for the assistance she had given them. She was als:> given letters of gratitude from tiir Samuel Griffith, Chief Justice ot Queensland, and other judicial authorities. Returning to Auckland in 1904. Mrs Hutchinson was appointed matron of that invaluable in*itution. the Door of Hope._ For ten'yegrs she retained that position and it is impossible to write adequately of the tremendous amount of wonderful work she did during that period among women and babies and girls who were only too iglad to turn to the Door of Hope and its sympathetic matron, knowing that it wes there that they would have the greatest opportunity in the world of saving themselves.
