'MR THOMAS MOSSMAN OBITUARY
Many will read to-day with regret the notice of the
death of Mr Thomas Mossman. The deceased
gentleman had a large circle of friends, who were often
interested in his old time reminiscences. There are
very few amongst us now who can remember the
return of our troops at the close of the Peninsula war,
and who were able to take an intelligent interest in the
battle of Waterloo. The old gentleman was born on the
first day of 1800, and was therefore at the time of his
death within six months of 100 years of age. He was
born on Lord Powiscourt?s estate near Dungannan, in
Ireland. After completing his education he went to
England, and was engaged in lace manufacturing for
about twenty-five years. It was during this period that
the notorious riots occurred and that Nottingham
Castle was fired and destroyed. The Duke of Portland
(whose confidence he enjoyed) swore Mr Mossman in
as chief of the special constables.
At the end of this period he inherited the family home
and returned to Ireland. Fifty-two years ago he married
Miss Eleanor Dilworth, who was also born near
Dungannan, on Lord Ranfurly?s estate. After a few
years? residence at the old home, he tired of
gentlemanly inactivity and sold out and went to
Canada and the States. He remained in America about
thirteen years, and then came to Auckland at the
repeated request of his brother-in-law, the late James
Dilworth, of Auckland. He settled in Waikato for a
number of years, finally removing to Hawke?s Bay
about twenty years ago. He leaves a wife and four
children, Mr W. J. Mossman and Mrs D. B. Watt, of
Poverty Bay, Mr H. A. Mossman, of Hastings, and
Mrs G. Stubbs, of Clive. The deceased did not
attribute his advanced age to any special system, but
to habitual care to avoid all kinds of excess, and to
simple living. His medical attendant pronounced him
sound and free from disease. He died peacefully,
perfectly conscious and happy. His childlike faith and
Christian life attracted the attention of all who knew
him.
