• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY Elizabeth Dickinson McLaren, known as Bessie, the second daughter of Thomas McLernon and Elizabeth Duxfield, was born in 1900 in Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand. She moved with her family to Manawaru in 1906 when her father started farming there. Bessie married Kenneth William Neeve in 1927. The couple farmed at Manawaru in the Waikato and had two daughters and a son. Ken died in 1949 leaving Bessie with a young family. Bessie continued to work the dairy farm with her teenage children until an opportunity came to sell the property. About 1960 the farm was sold. Bessie retired to Hamilton and lived with her younger sister Ethel for several years until Ethel married in 1966. Bessie died in 1991 in Hamilton.
