A long residence in New Zealand was brought to an end with the death of Mrs Norah Averill, wife of Mr Edward Averill, Echills, Kereru. She was born in Canada in 18C8 and came to New Zealand as a child with her parents. After her marriage she lived in the Waikato with her husband, who managed a large station on behalf of the Assets and Realisation Board. Later Mr and Mrs Averill went to Hawke’s Bay, where Mr Averill was appointed to control Mangatoro Station. Then in 1915 came the final change of residence, when Mr Averill took over the management of Olrig Station and also acquired a large sheepfarm of his own.
