MRS NGARUMA KARAURIA The death occurred at Woodville of Mrs Ngaruma Karauria, a prominent chieftainess of the Rangitane tribe. She was aged 68. Mrs Karauria owned a considerable amount of property in Hawke's Bay, the Wairarapa, and the Murupara area; and her family were the original owners of the land which is now the Awapuni racecourse. Mrs Karauria's son, Ruru Karaitiana, is the well-known New Zealand song writer. During the war her hospitality to the men of D. Company of the Maori Battalion, in which her son served, was much appreciated. HAERE KI O KOUTOU TIPUNA I TE PO! HAERE KI TE TINI! HAERE KI TE MANO! HAERE! HAERE!
