Elizabeth Ann Hockin

Obituary

It is my painful duty to have to report the death of another old settler, in the person of Mrs. E. Hockin, who passed away on Tuesday last about noon, after a short but painful illness. The deceased lady arrived in Auckland from England about 31 years ago, and has lived in Waiuku with her family, with the exception of two or three years, ever since. She was a lady very highly respected by all who knew her, and was closely connected with the Wesleyan Church, and was one of the foremost in every good work. The funeral took place on Thursday last, and was very largely attended. The funeral cortège left her late residence at two p.m., and the remains were taken to the Wesleyan Church, where the Rev. Mr. Carr, Wesleyan minister of the district, conducted part of the service, the Rev. Mr. Comrie, Presbyterian, offering up a very suitable prayer. The procession then proceeded to the cemetery. The service was concluded by the Rev. Mr. Carr. The deceased leaves her husband, two sons, and three daughters to mourn their loss. - [Own Correspondent, June 30.]
