• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY May Wood Redpath, the youngest daughter of Thomas and Ann Redpath, was born in Waitahuna in 1875. She was a resident of the Waitahuna and Mount Stuart districts all her life. In 1901 May married Hugh Blaikie Ross Crozier and went to reside in the Waitahuna township until, in 1903, Hugh Crozier took over Ann Redpath's farm at Mount Stuart. After 18 years farming there, May and Hugh retired and returned to their former home at Waitahuna. May was a bright and attractive personality, and was much-loved friend of all the children of the district. She was a staunch supporter of the Presbyterian Church, and took a keen interest in all branches of church work. During her 38 years of church membership May missed only one communion service, and this she was prevented from attending by her last illness. May was for many years an active and energetic member of the local Horticultural Society and was for some years one of its vice-presidents. The couple had no children. May died in 1939 and Hugh in 1950. Both are buried in Waitahuna. Details above from the obituary in Otago Daily Times, 26 July 1939
