Old Masterton residents will regret to learn of the death of Mrs Annie Cecelia Bagge, of Blenheim, wife of Mr Herbert Reginald Bagge (eldest son of the late Mr William Bagge, Masterton's first Postmaster) and a brother of Miss Muriel Bagge, a former local district schoolteacher. The death of Mr Bagge’s mother some time ago, at an advanced age, robbed New Zealand of another of its very early pioneers.
