Death notice: HUDSON.- At her residence, Motu Rimu, on Wednesday, June 19, 1929, Mary Hudson, relict of the late David Hudson (late of Longbush ); aged 74 years. Private interment at Eastern Cemetery on Saturday, at 2 .30pm. - J Fraser & Co., Undertakers. -Southland Times newspaper (21 June 1929)- Will: It appears that she never left a will of her estate as the Invercargill Court was unable to locate one.
She arrived in New Zealand with her husband, David, sons, John and William, daughter Jane, mother in law, Eliza Hudson, and brother Samuel McClure on the ship "Dunedin" at Port Chalmers on 25 Nov 1880. They first went north to Waiareka where son, Samuel, was born then they travelled back south and lived at 31 Hunter Street Edendale until late 1886 and then moved to Longbush and remained there until her husband died in 1893. Following his death The Hudson Bay Fur Co in America (with whom we are connected) sent her five pound but she was too proud to accept it and she gave it away to Dr Barnadoes Homes. She then moved to Torquay Street, Green Island, Dunedin. According to Stones Directories and family descendants Mary was caretaker of the Sailors Rest in Dunedin from 1917 to 1920. She was one of the founders of the Brethren Church in Green Island. She was a very strong lady and could lift a sack of potatoes on to a dray by herself. David's 4 acres of land (section 64 town of Longbush) was transferred to Mary upon his death. They were very poor and when the minister called she would give him cake while the children stood in the background and watched. She went round and did washing for other people. When Mary peeled the potatoes she never threw out the peelings until she had sorted through them and picked out the ones that had eyes in them and these pieces she would replant for the next crop of potatoes. Family Story: Mary went away for the day leaving the children at home. The children decided to make some toffee with the result that the toffee burn't to the bottom of the pot. They tried desperately to clean the pot as they only had about three pots in the cupboard but to no avail so the only option left was to bury the pot in the ground. Mary hunted for this pot for months but never found it. 1893 Mary was on the electoral roll for the Awarua Electorate, her residence was Longbush and her occupation was Domestic Duties.
