15065 THE LATE MR PAULING - THE LAST TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY

The funeral of the late Mr J H Pauling, which took place yesterday afternoon, was the largest seen in Masterton for many years. Friends from far and near - some from the South Island and others from as far North as Auckland - were present to pay a last tribute of respect to the man whom they had loved and honoured. The cortege comprised over six hundred people and was thoroughly representative of the whole of the Wairarapa, many local bodies to the north and south of Masterton being represented. The who proceedings were of a very solemn and pathetic nature, and an impressive stillness characterised the whole proceedings. At two o'clock the people began to line the streets, and hundreds congregated at the late home of the deceased at Kuripuni. The coffin was taken from the house and placed on a fire engine, which was used as a hearse, the Pipe Band playing " The Flowers of the Forest". The coffin was then covered with a Scottish Flag, which was draped, and the beautiful wreaths. The wreaths received totalled fifty-three, including tributes from the Borough Council, Caledonian Society, Trust Lands Trust, Pipe Band, employees of the Masterton Implement Company, and prominent citizens of the district. The funeral procession was then formed, admirable arrangements in this connection having been made by Superintendent Jenkins, Captain Dixon, Messrs F Hunn, and R McRae, who acted as marshalls. The Pipe Band led the solemn procession; then followed members of the Druids, Freemason; Foresters and Oddfellows Lodges, relatives of the deceased, and close friends, employees of the Masterton Implement Company, directors of the Wairarapa Caledonian Society, members of the Trust Lands Trust, representatives of local bodies, the combined brass bands.Fire Brigade, Fire Police, members of the Wairarapa Caledonian Society, citizens on foot and in vehicles. The brass bands commenced the "Dead March in Saul" and the cortege moved off. At the Masterton District High School the bands ceased playing, and the strains of "Lochaber No More" pealed forth from the Pipers. Well down Queen-street the bands took up the playing again, rendering the beautiful "Garland of Flowers". There was a very large concourse of people at the cemetery in addition to those who comprised the cortege. The casket was carried from the hearse to the grave by Chief McLeod, and Messrs J B McKenzie, T G Hoar, G R Sykes, D McLachlan and J Georgeson, members of the Caledonian Society. It was lowered into the grave by Messrs J M Coradine, W D Watson, C Hausmann and R Buick. The services at the graveside were conducted in an impressive manner by the Rev A T Thompson, BA BD. The followed the pathetic Druidic and Masonic ceremonies. As the members of the Masonic Lodge passed round the grave they deposited a sprig of Acacia on the coffin. The Pipe Band then rendered "Flowers of the Forest," and the solemn, impressive, and sacred ceremony came to a conclusion. The ball bearers from the house of the deceased gentleman to the hearse were six employees of the Masterton Implement Company. The deceased's grave is situated in a corner of the graveyard close to the weeping willows. The number of people present at the cemetery to pay their last tribute to the man whom they all respected and loved was probably the largest in the history of Masterton. The scene when the coffin was lowered into the grave was a very touching one, and even stern men were not ashamed to shed a tear.

Copies of the articles held on file.
Also copies of the Inquest held.

The inquest gave a verdict that the fall was an accident, as he had been depressed, not eaten or drunk much, and slept sparingly since his daughter Margaret had given birth to a child on Dog Island a few weeks previously.

15075 There is a marriage of a Bertha Clayson to a Walter Austin, June Qtr 1922, Dover Kent, Vol 2a Page 2560

And a death registration of a Bertha Austin
Dec Qtr 1977, Maidstone Kent, Vol 16 Page 1258 giving Age 83 and DOB 25 Nov 1894
Actually on the 1939 Register for Dover Kent, Bertha lists her date of birth as 25 Nov 1900
(I do not believe this to be the correct person - this is on other Ancestry Trees)

Have located another marriage to a Charles Victor Cooke, but it occurred in Coventry, Warwickshire, 1923 Dec Qtr, Vol 6D Page 1379

His Probate of 1953 lists his wife Bertha Mary Cooke as his widow

Located a death a of Bertha M Cooke in March Qtr 1969, Coventry Warwickshire, Vol 9c Page 855, aged 73 giving birth c 1896 (wrong time period for Prob Cal)

Bertha M Cooke on the 1939 Register for Coventry lists her date of birth as 26 May 1895 which is correct date of birth.
(I feel this is most likely the correct record for Bertha Mary Clayson - but certificates would need to be purchased or contact from family members to confirm)

15081 There is no clear evidence at this stage that this William Law is the grandson of William Law the 1st Marquire de Lauriston.

Witnesses: Hoeculos Taylor & Alexander Jrorero (sic) indweller in Leith

15082 There is no death notice for Patrick in the "Otago Daily Times" - checked 31 May 2013 at Dunedin City Library.

Orokonui Home -
Was firstly a private college of which consisted of orginially 800 acres. The orginial home was built around 1870's. By 1903 had been converted to a home to cater for mentally ill patients. It was of two stories in height, and possessed about twenty rooms.

Patrick may have been a resident at Seacliff, but then transferred to Orokonui as by 1930 they had a ward for Epileptics.

Previously any person who had some sort of disability, which included epilepsy was termed as mentally ill. Thankfully modern medicine and knowledge has redefined many of these common ailments, so that people are no longer confined to insitiutions.

The Orokonui Home is now a 307 hectare conservation project, called Orokonui Eco-Sanctuary.
