MRS TARO TAPUA REWETI Mrs Tari Tapua Reweti, better known as Mrs Lou Davis, died at her home, “Taumataokioki”, Whakapara, recently. She lived practically all her married life in Whakapara and took a great interest in all Maori activities. Her husband, Mr Lou Davis, is well-known as a magnificent worker for the Maori people and for youth in sport. Her granddaughter, Neti Davis, is the New Zealand women's table tennis champion and last April represented New Zealand in the world championships at Peking, China. (See Te Ao Hou, issue 32, p. 55.) Mrs Davis was a descendant of the famous Maori chief, Tamati Waka Nene. Her parents were Mr and Mrs Hone Nehua, and the old homestead occupied by the Nehuas still stands opposite the Whakapara School. Mrs Davis was born in Whakapara and educated at the old Otonga School and at Hikurangi. She was a prominent member of the Maori Women's Welfare League and the Whakapara Women's Institute.
