OBITUARY

MRS ELIZA NICOLL The death occurred on Tuesday of Mrs Eliza Nicoll, mother of Mr Archibald F. Nicoll, one of New Zealand’s best-known artists. Mrs Nicoll, who was 92 years of age, was one of Canterbury’s pioneers. With her parents, the late Mr and Mrs T. A. Pannett. she left her home in Sussex, England, and arrived at Lyttelton in the Lady Nugent in April, 1851. On their arrival the family shared a hut in Haglcy Park, the other half of the hut being

occupied by Dean Jacobs’s family. Later they settled at “Newbiggin,” off Burnside road. Mrs Nicoll attended Miss Thompson’s school She retained many memories of her early life in Christchurch. and her keen interest in the affairs of the community contrasted with her quiet and retiring nature. She married Mr Alexander Nicoll, who arrived from Perthshire in 1869. Mrs Nicoll will be sadly missed by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She is survived by three daughters, Mrs C. K. Sams (Christchurch). Miss Susan Nicoll (Egypt), Miss Betty Nicoll (Christchurch), and three sons, Messrs T. A. Nicoll (Wellington), W. P. Nicoll (New Plymouth), and Archibald F.
