NELSON CENTENARIAN
MRS MARY ANN HART.
LINK WITH VERY EARLY DAYS
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) NELSON, This Day.
In good health and spirits, except for failing sight, Mrs Mary Ann Hart, of Richmond, today celebrates the hundredth anniversary of her birth. A girl of thirteen, daughter of Mr and Mrs Joseph Hammond, Mrs Hart first stepped ashore in New Zealand at Auckland, from the barque Lord William Bentinck, and with her family came on to Nelson, five months later settling at Richmond, where Mrs Hart has lived for eighty-seven years.
Passing through all the hardships undergone by the early pioneers, Mrs Hart has had a happy and useful old age, and, with the gradual narrowing of her activities, has devoted herself in her spare time to rag mat making in aid of Baptist missions and in this way has contributed £258. Her husband, Mr William Hart, died some twelve years ago. Mrs Hart today is the recipient of many congratulations.
