Obituary
Mrs. T. W. McKenzie
We record with very great regret the sudden death of Mrs. T. W. McKenzie, which occured last night at the family residence in Ghuznee street.
The deceased lady was attacked a few months ago by an affection of the heart, and her life then hung in the balance for a time. Last evening she and some of her family spent several hours very pleasantly in the sitting room, and when she retired to rest about 11 o'clock she was in excellent spirits and apparently felt quite well. A few minutes after getting into bed, however, she was seized with illness, her heart becoming affected, and Dr. Wallace Mackenzie, who lives close by, was sent for . The doctor was promptly in attendance, but found that Mrs. McKenzie was beyond human aid, and shortly after he had reached the house she breathed her last.
Mrs. McKenzie was born in Bath, England, and was 61 years of age. She came out to Wellington with her parents (Mr. and Mrs. H. Buck) by the ship Burnham in 1842, being then a mere child, and was carried ashore from the surf boat by Mr. T. W. McKenzie, afterwards one of the proprietors of the Wellington Independent, and whom she wedded when she had reached the age of 17.
The news of Mrs. McKenzie's death was received in the city early this morning with feelings of genuine regret. During her lengthened residence in Wellington she became known to thousands of people, and by all who knew her she was loved and respected. She leaves five sons and four daughters (all grown up), and for them and Mr. McKenzie, one of the oldest and most respected of our settlers, much sympathy will be felt. Mrs. McKenzie was of a most amiable disposition, and was known far and wide for her benevolence.
The funeral is to take place on Monday afternoon.
