OBITUARY.
The death occurred yesterday at Grey Lynn of a very old New Zealand colonist, Mrs. Ann Watson, relict of ! the late Mr. James Watson, at the : age of 84 years. Mrs, Watson had been a resident of the Auckland province ever since New Zealand became a British colony, having first set foot in this country sixty-two years ago. She arrived at the Bay of Islands in 184O from Sydney, coming over at the same time as Governor Hobson, the first Governor of the colony. Her father, Mr. Woods, occupied a Government position under Captain Hobson. Mrs. Watson witnessed many stirring incidents at the Bay of Islands in those early days, and was in Kororareka (the present Russell) when Hone Heke's men began the Northern war of 1845 by cutting down the flagstaff on the Mark! Hill and attacking and burning the town. She and her people took refuge on the ships in the bay, and after the men-of-war had shelled the Maoris on the Kororareka Beach the refugees, who had lost all their property, were conveyed to Auckland. Mrs. Watson was acquainted with many of the leading pakeha and Maori identities of those days in the North, such as Tamati Walca Nene,Baron de Thierry, the missionary families and others. She leaves several sons and daughters, one of the latter being Mrs. E. 0. Nicholas, of Niue (Savage Island). Mrs Watson's death took place at the residence of her son, Mr. Charles Watson, and the interment was this afternoon in the Symonds-street cemetery. Ann Wood immigrated to arrived BOI on the Chelydra in 1840.2
