Born in the Hutt district the late Miss Waterson came to Dalefield with her parents, Mr and Mrs George Waterson, when 18 months old. She attended a private school which was situated in those days at what was known as the Maori Clearing. She later was a pupil at the old Carterton School at the southern end of Carterton. Deceased, who possessed a kindly nature, has left many friends who will learn with feelings of deep regret of her death. For many years she followed the profession of nurse. She was an ardent supporter of the Methodist Church. She leaves four sisters, Mesdames J. Bambry, Dalefield; Herbert Knowles, Wheatstone Street, Carterton; H.
