At the age of 24 she came to New Zealand in ihe ship “Merivale” and stayed with her uncle and aurit, the late Mr and I Mrs W. Walters, for about three years and was then married to Mr Joseph Barriball, of Waiuku. With her husband she took up farming life in tin? Waiuku district, sharing in ail ihe hardships and privations of the' early settlers, among whom she is gladly remembered for the great assistance at all times so cheerfully given. She. was a staunch member and regular attendant of the Methodist Church, taking a keen interest in its various activities right up to the time of her death. By her quiet and faithful work she had endeared herself to the whole community and will be sadly missed.
