Mrs. Taylor's' parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. James Sim, of Johnsonville, were for many year? well known throughout the' district, Mr. Sim being closely connected with the , early politics of the colony, For some time the family lived at Te Aro Flat and at a later period at Featherston's Hill. Later they removed t< Johnsoriville, where Mrs. Taylor remembered well taking shelter in the stockade during the times' when the Maoris were troublesome. Another memory of this old resident was that of seeing prisoners in the stocks at Thorndon. Almost to the day of her death her memory remained quite clear, md many and varied were her. recollections of early, days. Mrs. Taylor was twice married, her first husband being Mr. J. Short, at that time resident in Happy Valley. As a result of this marriage four sons and one daughter were born, of whom, Mt; Arthur Short, of Ngaliauranea., is the only one now living. She later married Mr. BY Taylor,' of Johnsonyille. Of their four children Mr. Walter Taylor, of Ngahanranga, is t.he only one that remains. The funeral was largely attended.
