Old Resident Passes
Almost a Centenarian
Mrs Anne Anderson
After she had been bed-ridden some years, but had looked forward to the distinction of becoming a centenarian, the death occurred yesterday a her residence, 59 Te Awe Awe Street, of Mrs Anne Anderson, who was in her 99th year. Though she broke a arm six years ago, and had been an invalid for some time past, Mrs Anderson had retained splendid possession of her faculties, and a vigorous mental outlook.Born in Oslo (formerly Christiania, Norway, the late Mrs Anderson was, prior to her marriage, cook at the King’s Palace, and among her most treasured possessions were photographs of the Norwegian Royal Family, personal gifts made to her while she was in their service.
Married in Norway, the late Mrs Anderson came to New Zealand with her husband in 1872 and settled at Dannevirke for some years before coming to Palmerston North in 1879. Alter a year they took up farming at Fitzherbert. The horse express could only take them as far as Pratt’s Hill in those days, and they had to carry their household goods up a bush track the remaining distance to their home.
For over a quarter of a century Mrs Anderson had lived in the same house at Hokowhitu. Her husband, Mr Nils Anderson, died 26 years ago. There were nine children and surviving members of the family are Mrs E. Greer (Fitzherbert West), Misses M. and A. Anderson (Hokowhitu), Messrs J. Anderson (Tokomaru), A. F. Anderson (Auckland), and G. Anderson (Hauraki Plains). The deep sympathy of many friends will be extended to the bereaved family.
