      Another of the fast disappearing band of the early pioneers of Hawke's Bay settlers passed away in Dannevirke on Wednesday in the person of Mr Adolf Berkahn, after a long and painful illness, borne with great fortitude. Born in Denmark 77 years ago, deceased came to New Zealand with his parents in the Queen of the North in 1875, arriving in Napier, the family settling at Makotuku. Deceased, with his wife, subsequently took up a bush section at Whakarara, where they remained for 21 years, afterwards removing to Makotuku and later to Maraekakaho, going to Dannevirke in February last.

      The late Mr Berkahn was widely known in Hawkes Bay and was very highly respected by a large number of friends throughout the district in which he had resided. He is survived by his widow and a grown-up family of four sons - Messrs H. Berkahn (Tiratu), N. M. Berkahn (Maraekakaho), W. L. Berkahn (Kereru), A.. E. Berkahn (Ormondville); and four daughters - Mrs E. Kerr (Dannevirke), Mrs W. Oates (Tokomaru Bay), Mrs V. Coombs (Tokomaru Bay), and Mrs S. Rich (Bulls).
