25 Nov 1913 - Death of Simon Dryden (Mary Louisa's father)
Mr Simon Dryden, an old Wellington resident, who had been working in his Bidwell street, greenhouse in Bidwell-street yesterday morning and appeared then to be in his usual health, died suddenly in a tramcar in the afternoon. His body was conveyed home and Dr Mackin, who was immediately summoned, found that death was in all probability due to heart failure, there being no signs of any other disease.
For some years Mr Dryden had been attended for heart trouble by Dr McGavin, who told his sons that he might due suddenly at any time. Mr Dryden, who was born in Sunderland on 29th June 1824, arrived in Wellington in 1855 and started in business with the late Mr Edward Thirkell, as shipwrights, laying down a small slip on the beach from Old Customhouse-street, just in front of where Robertson's foundry now stands. After some years of successful business operation, he sold out and took up land in Queen Charlotte Sound, where he carried on farming for ten or twelve years, returning to Wellington in 1879, where h has since resided.
In the early days, with his friend Mr Thirkell, he walked down from Wanganui, before the time of coaches or trains, to look at land, but did not take up any, although the best was there on offer at 10s per acre, because there were no roads and the land in the Sound was chosen in preference as it could be reached by boat. He aquired some properties before leaving Wellington; among others, a section in Cuba-street, where Mr W. P. Barber;s shop now is, but eventually sold it cut.
Mr Dryden leaves a widow, three sons, Arthur (Picton) (Arthur William 1857-1941), C. H. (Brooklyn) (Charles Henry 1860-1943), F. A. (Karori) (Frederick Albert 1862-1947) and two daughters, Mrs H. E. Dryden (Karori) (Mary Louisa as above) and Mrs C. E. Tustin (Christchurch), seventeen grandchildren and one great-grandchild

Cook, when Mr Orland Dryden (manager of the Excelsior Supply Co., Ltd) and eldest son of H. E. Dryden of Karori, was married to Miss E. M. Lynott, second daughter of the late mr Charles Lynott of St Kilda, Melbourne, Victoria. The bride, who wore a travelling costume of brown cloth, trimmed with pink applique and a hat of shell pink crepe de chene, with black panne, was given away by Mr Henry Dryden of "Craigielea" Karori.
