  OBITUARY Death of an Old Colonist. It is with sorrow that a large number of our readers will learn of the death of Mr Cord Heinrich Bensemann, which occurred at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr D. Max, at Hope yesterday morning. The deceased, who was a native of Hanover, was born in the year 1810, and was consequently nearly 73 years old. He landed at Nelson on the 16th June, 1843, having arrived in the ship St. Pauli, which sailed from Hamburg, bringing a number of passengers under the auspices of the New Zealand Company. In the early days of the settlement Mr Bensemann had to contend with the numerous difficulties which faced the pioneer settlers, and in his case they were not decreased by the fact of his being surrounded with colonists whose language he did not then understand. He was one of the original settlers at the German village at the Upper Moutere, and he continued to reside there for thirty-three years. The deceased was the father-in-law of the Rev W. Heine, Pastor of the Lutheran Church at the Upper Moutere, and although several of his descendants have preceded him on the long journey, he still leaves eight children, fifty-five grand children, and two great grand children to lament his death. His late wife, who was for some time prior to her decease a great sufferer, died some eight or nine years ago, and for the past few years Mr Bensemann has been ailing in health, whilst on Sunday last he was laid up with bronchitis, from which disease he died at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. The deceased was well known and respected by all the old settlers, English as well as German, and at his funeral, which will take place at the Lutheran Church Sarau, Upper Moutere, tomorrow morning at 11 o'olock, there is no doubt a great number will assemble to pay their last mark of respect.
