DIED ON THE 12th OF DECEMBER 1874
Tihorewaru, died on the 12th of December 1874. We do not know what he died of, a while before Peni told him to draw his store to another part, so to have their place clear, a few days afterwards, he remembered the word about shifting the house, he went for his two oxens, and put them on to the house. were several persons there at the time, when the house had been shifted 20 yards from its former place, he called to the bullocks to stand, he turned the bullocks and called to them to pull; the chain parted, and the bullocks stood, he untied the end of the chain that was attached to the bullocks and the people looked, and he came to where the people where. One of them looked that is appearance was altered, and he fell his feet was kioking, the person who saw him called but that Tihorewaru was dying, his own son came with a bucket of water, he raised and wiped the water from his eyes. And said to give him some medicine Pain Killer, after ne had drank it, he died, there was little medicine the greater part was water. His father Lasarus te Pikitoetoe was a very brave warrior in wars, in formed days, when ever this warrior came in front, the enemy always retreated, Tihorewaru was also a brave man, breaking in bullocks and also horses and ploughing. There is not a young man in this Provinee, that will equal Tnim in strength, and knowledge up to his death, in his works, a Pakeha is the only one that will equal him in strenght and knowledge, he was about 70 years of age.
