They each wore gold and pearl brooches, the gifts of the bridegroom. Mr Herbert Hyde was best man. After the ceremony the assembled guests were entertained at breakfast, when the usual toasts were honoured. The large number of costly and useful presents, some of which came from the West Coast and the North Island, testified to the popularity of the happy couple. Later in the day Mr and Mrs Killeen left for Nelson en route to Westport, where they will in future reside.

Nelson Evening Mail, 18 May 1876...Gun Accident of THOMAS EDEN
Susan's maternal great grandfather
... On Monday last a party of sportsmen were out shooting in the Motupiko Valley (Tasman) when a gun accident occurred, which administered a severe fright to one or two, but fortunately did little harm. As Thomas Eden was firing at some tuis his gun burst with a very loud explosions, tearing the barrel and stock into fragments, which were sent flying in all directions. Strange to say Eden escaped without any injury beyond being rendered completely deaf for two days. William Gibbs, who was standing close to him at the time, had an equally narrow escape, as a fragment of the barrel struck him on the back just below the belt, going through a pea coat, a new pair of moleskin trowsers and flannel, and taking off a piece of skin about the size of a florin (20c). The gun was a very ancient weapon, and worn very thin at the breech, which induces the correspondent to whom we are indebted for the above information this to moralize:- So much for the safety of old favourite guns that are apt to go off at either end

Nelson Evening Mail, 17 March 1879 FIRE destroys Thomas Eden's home
... It is reported that a serious fire occurred at Waimea West early this morning resulting in the total destruction of the house, stacks, and outbuildings belonging to Mr Thomas Eden. We have been unable to ascertain the full particulars. It was insured in the Norwich Union for £150 on the house and furniture (March 2013 equivalent of $18,000)


The Maffra, 14 March 1898...DEATH of Peter Killeen
Susan's paternal grandfather
... SUDDEN DEATH AT STRATFORD - Peter Killeen, aged 55 years, who has been living alone in a house near Stratford for some time, was found dead at his house, having evidently died very suddenly, as when found he was fully clothed and lying across his bed. He had not been seen for a day or two, and neighbours had watered his horses, but as he did not appear they grew suspicious and made a search for him, and found him on Friday last. Mr Crockett, J.P., held an inquiry, and on the evidence of Dr. Chapman, who had made a post mortem examination of the deceased, and stated the cause of death was syncope due to alcoholic pneumonia, a verdict was returned accordingly. The deceased was an old resident of the district, and there is a large family of sons. His brother, Mr Maurice Killeen (1847-1919), of The Heart, Sale, 25km south of Stratford is a Councillor of the Avon Shire, and great regret was expressed to him. The remains were interred in the Nuntin cemetery on Saturday.

Colonist, 3 June 1916... GOLDEN WEDDING of Hugh & Susan Kenyon
Susan's maternal grandparents
... Tuesday, May 23rd, was the anniversary of the marriage of Mr and Mrs Hugh Kenyon, of Dovedale, they having been married on Mary 23rd 1866, in Spring Grove, Nelson, by Bishop Hobhouse. Mr Kenyon, who has attained the age of 83, and Mrs Kenyon, who age is 73 years, were among the first settlers to take up their abode in the Dovedale Valley, and they endured many hardships of which the younger generation know nothing. Mr and Mrs Kenyon brought up a large family, their number being ten, nine of whom are still living - three sons and six daughters:
Mrs George Kinzett, Awa
Mrs H. B. Thorn, Awa (Susan Margaret + Henry Bishop)
Mr David Kenyon, Ross
Mrs J. Mead, Greymouth (Annie Louisa + Joseph)
Mrs H. Hawkins, Collingwood (Ada + Henry Peter)
Mr Frank Kenyon, Bennett's
Mrs Killeen, Westport (Isabella 'Belle' + William Patrick)
Mrs W. O. Hewetson, Martinborough (Eunice Ainsworth + William Othen)
Mr Arthur Kenyon, Thorpe
Friends fathered from far and near to congratulate the worthy couple and the presents were both useful and numerous. Mr Arthur Kenyon, in a neat speech, presented his parents with a beautiful chiming clock, on behalf of their children. Miss Thelma Thorn, on behalf of the grandchildren (of whom there are 34), presented them with a silver teapot, which was handed to Mrs Kenyon by Mary Thorn and tiny Annie Kenyon jointly. The Win family, also old and respected residents, united and gave Mr and Mrs Kenyon a silver cream jug and sugar bowl. Afternoon tea was partaken of, the health of "The Bride and Bridegroom" being proposed by Mr H. Hawkins, and responded to by Mr Arthur Kenyon and Mr Kenneth Thorn respectively. "The Win Family" was proposed by Mr Arthur Kenyon and responded to by Mr Nobel WIn. In the evening about a hundred guests assembled in the Public Hall and an enjoyable time was spent with songs and dancing until an early hour


Colonist, 27 June 1916... DEATH of Hugh Kenyon
Susan's maternal grandfather
... The ranks of the hardy band of pioneer settlers of this district were further thinned yesterday by the death of Mr Hugh Kenyon, J.P., of Thorpe. Deceased, who was born in Scotland in the year 1833, came out to Australia in the early fifties. He at once went to the gold diggings, which were then in full swing, and worked there with more or less success until he was attracted to New Zealand by the Gabriel's Gully rush. In the year 1861 he came to this district, and took up an unimproved farm at Dovedale, which he developed into splendid property. The late Mr Kenyon took a keen interest in all matters which affected the welfare of the district, and served on the school committee and road board for many years. Deceased, who was highly respected in the district, leaves a widow and grown-up family of three sons and six daughters, viz., Mrs George Kinzett, Awa, Mrs H. B. Thorn, Awa, Mr David Kenyon, Ross, Mrs J. Mead, Greymouth, Mrs H. Hawkins, Collingwood, Mr Frank Kenyon, Bennett's, Mrs Killeen, Westport, Mrs W. O. Hewetson, Martinborough, Mr Arthur Kenyon, Thorpe; also thirty-four grandchildren. The deepest sympathy will be felt with the relatives in the loss they have sustained. Only recently Mr and Mrs Kenyon celebrated their golden wedding. The occasion was marked by a large family gathering, and the aged couple were recipients of presentations from the family and friends

Colonist, 26 June 1917 IN MEMORIAM
... KENYON - In loving memory of my dear husband, Hugh Kenyon, who departed this life June 26th, 1916. Inserted by his loving wife and family

this was an ANZAC project undertaken by janilye & ngairedith to honour the
(nearly 300) fallen soldiers that are commemorated on the Caulfield, Melbourne, War Memorial. Every soldier was thoroughly researched individually and all information is faithful to that available (many sources)
It was hoped all the soldiers' biographies would have been completed by ANZAC DAY 2013. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and there are still a few remaining.
These will be completed shortly

IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE MEN AND WOMEN
WHO DIED IN THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM

On the night of July 19, 1916, on a slice of lush farmland just north of the tiny town of Fromelles, the Australian Imperial Forces fought their first battle in France.
By morning, 1900 Australian men lay dead and 3100 were injured or missing. Outnumbered two to one, the men were ordered to cross a 400-metre patch of ground to reach the German lines — fields already covered by the bodies of English soldiers killed in a similar battle the year before. A few made it through, only to be cut off, captured or killed as they tried desperately to return to the Allied trenches.
It was high summer. During the next few days, German forces dragged hundreds of bodies from the fields to avoid disease and buried them in graves near the village. Most were recovered but one mass grave — at Pheasant Wood — remained undiscovered for 90 years
The bodies of more than 200 soldiers killed behind German lines were recorded officially as 'having died in the neighbourhood of Fromelles'. As at this date there are photos of 87 of these lost men of Fromelles with the remainder yet to be found and added to the above site
