AN EARLY PIONEER.
By the death of Mr Ebenezer Baker > at Auckland on Saturday, after a few days', illness, ono of Now Zealand's oldest pioneers has passed away. His father, the Rev. Charles Baker, came to the colony as one of the Church Missionary Society's representatives in 1827. -, Captain Hobson wrote asking the loan of his church, in which to read th♭ . Queen'a Proclamation, and requested that he would uso his influence to gather '? together as many of tho Maori chiefs as possible. He was a powerfully, built ? " man? of considerable courage, and had been known to walk up and down between two parties of Maoris firing at ? each other in the hope of stepping their fighting.- Mr Ebenezer, Baker, was recently voted th♭ oldest colonist present - ; " at a gathering of old identities in Auckland. Having been born in 1830, ho ? f spent aeventy-fiv♭ yearn in New ZeaX land. He occupied a number of GovernC ment appointments, including these ot 'Œ-'' native interpreter, resident magistrate, Œ ooroner, vice-admiral of the Admiralty Court, and sheriff. He witnessed 'Maoris carrying human flesh in ,? their canoes, and remembered being present at th♭ singing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Mr Baker, like his father, always took an interest in the Maoris, and was over ready to conduct Divine service with them as ap- ' portunity occurred. Attached to an "' earlier residence of th♭ Rev. Charles ' Baker the first printing press in New z Zealand was set up. Mr Baker remembered tho visit of Sir John and Lady Franklin, his father giving them a horsehair stuffed arm chair to which poles were attached that tho Maoris might cajry Lady Franklin therein through " the bush. Coming of an agricultural stock, th♭ family was one of tho first -importers of fruit tcees, and bad what - was then one of the largest orchards - in New Zealand, oomprising about 12 '' 'acres. It is a strange coincidence that 'of Mr Baker's family four brothers have S .-deceased their wwes, while on Mrs ;aker's side six sisters outlived their '-'husbands. Mr Ebenezer Baker leaves a widow the same age as himself, five sons (comprising the firm of Means -- Baker Brothers), three daughters, and T. ibirteen grandchildren. I. Ebenezer R M Baker was baptized on 27 November 1830 in Kerikeri, BOI.8
