About Rahapa Taharangi

He later married again to Rahapa at Otaki where he was the schoolmaster.

Rahapa remarried to Hone Taharangi. She died in April 1914. Her obituary was published by the Bay of Plenty Times on 20 April 1914 (p. 4):

TAHARANGI The death occurred at Opunui last week of a very aged lady named Rahapa, the wife of the late chief Hone Taharangi, who died last year. The deceased lady's first husband was Henare Taratoa, who drafted the conditions of war for the engagements at Gate Pa and Te Ranga. These conditions gave protection to European women and children and men not carrying arms or connected with any engagements, and that they were faithfully carried out by the Ngaterangi tribe is evidenced by the action of Rawiri at Gate Pa when Colonel Booth fell. Hone Taharangi was also in the same engagement and lost one of his legs. A very large tangi is being held.
