    Notes:

    Mr. John Galt Dickie.

    The death occurred on Friday, June 23, of Mr. John Galt Dickie, the oldest settler in the Waverley district and a veteran of the Maori War, after a long illness borne with great patience.

    The late Mr. Dickie was born in the Dickie Settlement, Galt, Ontario, Canada, on April 8, 1838, and was the eldest son of a family of seven. He was the first of the family to migrate. He first went to England and in 1863 he sailed for New Zealand from Liverpool in the sailing ship 'Wild Duck' reaching Auckland late in that year. For some time he managed a farm for the late Mr. Alfred Buckland at Three Kings, Onehunga, but he was enticed by the glamour of the gold rush, and went to the diggings on the West Coast.

    Fortune did not smile upon him, so a return was made to Wellington. With others, a walk was commenced over Paekakariki along the coast line, and eventually the deceased settled in Turakina. In 1868 the deceased came to Waverley, settling near Moamahaki, where he carried on farming pursuits.

    Later on he was joined by the other members of his family with their parents, and also members of the family of an uncle, and these took up land adjoining.

    On the outbreak of the Maori War in 1868 the respective homes of the Dickie family were burnt and the settlers had to retreat into Waverley, then known as Wairoa. The deceased and his brother Alex, joined up with the Wairoa Rifle Volunteers, which erected the Wairoa Redoubt, upon which is now built the Waverley War Memorial.

    Mr. Alex. Dickie is the sole survivor today of the volunteer company. During the unsettled period after the war the deceased went to Hawera, where in partnership with the late Mr. John Stevenson, of Manaia, and Mr. Tom Twigg (afterwards engineer to the Hawera Borough Council), a contract was obtained for constructing the main south road from Hawera to the Tongahoe.
    The deceased returned to Waverley in 1872, when he married Miss Mary Hone, who predeceased him in 1918. He acquired a large block of land in Moumahaki, but he was forced to relinquish the greater part of it during the period known as "the hungry eighties." He then took up land at Kohi, near Waverley, and farmed there until he retired from active farming in 1909. Since then he has lived at 'Awatea' Waverley, first with his two sons, Messrs. Charles and Harold Dickie, and afterwards with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Wallace.

    The deceased is survived by three sons, Messrs. Charles Dickie and Harold Dickie, M.P., of Hawera, and Mr Clifford Dickie, of Waverley, and two daughters, Mrs. A. G. Wallace and Mrs. G. H. Graham, both of Waverley, and by eight grandchildren. He is survived, too, by a sister, Mrs. McL'Dowie, formerly of Hawera, but now residing in Auckland, and a brother, Mr. Alex. Dickie, at present residing in Wanganui. Mr. Dickie was of a retiring disposition, but he was always most interesting in his tales of his experiences during the early and strenuous days when the pioneering spirit was so prevalent. He was very proud of the fact that his name is on the books of the local branch of the Bank of Australasia, as its first customer in Waverley.

    THE FUNERAL.

    The funeral of the deceased took place on Sunday afternoon at the local cemetery, a large number attending to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased. The services were conducted at the church and graveside by the Rev. S. Gardiner, and Mrs. Eames presided at the organ. The pall-bearers were messrs. A. E. Symes, W. McL'Dowie, S. Hone, W. Muir, J. Newland and P. Bremer. A large number of wreaths were sent from friends. The coffin was covered with the Union Jack, the late Mr. Dickie being a veteran of the Maori War.
