Mrs POIHAERE GRACE Mrs “Poihaere” Grace died recently in Gisborne. She was in her seventieth year. She was a descendant of the Whanau-a-Raikairoa sub-tribe and it is fitting that the tangi to her should have been held in the Kie Kie marae, where she was interred in the family cemetery. Her husband, Mr Jack Grace, died about 30 years ago. In her early life, she lived in Kie Kie where she had a family of fourteen children, four of whom have predeceased her. The other 10, who are all adult, attended the tangi. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. T. Wanoa and despite the inclement weather, a large congregation attended.
