DEATH OF A MANAWATU PIONEER.
MR. ANDREW M'cEWIEN. In the death of the late Mr. Andrew Henderson McEiwen, which occurred on Thursday, the Tiakitahuna district has lost one of its oldest and most highly respected settlers and the Dominion a pioneer of the best and most worthy type. The late Mr. MeEwen, was born at Wellington 82 years ago, his parents arriving in the ship Plioobc in the year 1840. After residing for a time, at Hutt, the family moved to Korokoro until .1888, when it took up residence at Tiakitahuna. As a young man, the late Mi’. MeEwen served as a volunteer in the escort of the Duke of Edinburgh on his visit to Wellington. He celebrated his golden .wedding seven years ago and for the past 50 years (with the exception of a break of a year) had acted as superintendent of a Sunday school. During the last 30 years the late Mi.’. MeEwen had occupied this position with the Methodist Sunday School at Longburn. He is survived by a widow and family to whom the sympathy of a wide circle of friends will go out in their .bereavement. The family left to mourn their loss is: Mesdames H. Sorensen (Levin), Harold Barber (Shannon), Wilton (Rangiotu), Edwardes (Tiakitahuna), the Misses MeEwen (Tiakitahuna), a brother Mr. G. T. MeEwen (Australia), and a sister, Mrs. H. Darnant (Petone).
