Pilcher, Emily

Evening Post 1 May 1926
A well-known and respected resident of the Lower Hutt, Mrs. Caroline Swain, wife of Mr. Samuel Swain, passed away on 27th April, after a very brief illness. Born in Lower Hutt fifty-one years ago, she was the third daughter of the late Mr. John Pilcher, who arrived in Wellington in the early ''60 s, and, after spending a short time in Wellington, went to Australia during the gold rush at Bendigo. After spending many months on the goldfields, he returned to Wellington, where he married and finally settled in the Hutt Valley. The late Mrs. Swain was of a very kindly disposition, and will be mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends. She leaves a husband and a family of six sons, Mr. Arthur H. (sic) J. Swain, of the Money Order and Savings Bank, Chief Post Office, Wellington, Mr. Albert Swain, railway workshops, Petone, and Messrs. William, Frederick, Leonard, and Percy Swain, of Lower Hutt, and two daughters, Misses May and Dulcie Swain, of Lower Hutt; also five brothers, Messrs. John, William, Henry, and Frederick Pilcher, of Lower Hutt, and Mr. George Pilcher of Waingawa, and five sisters, Mrs. F. Gilbert, Mrs. E. Mudgway, Mrs. N. Watkins, of Lower Hutt, Mrs. A. Swain, of Silverstream, and Mrs. E. Hodgkins, of Auckland.

FATHER AND SON
DEATH WITHIN HOURS OF EACH OTHER
Two of the oldest residents of the Hutt Valley, Mr. Benjamin Mudgway, aged 93, and Mr. Walter William Mudgway, aged 70, father and son, died within hours of each other this week. Mr. B. Mudgway died on Tuesday and his son on Wednesday. Mr. B. Mudgway purchased the block of land which is now intersected by Jackson Street and bounded on the east by what is now the dead arm of the Hutt River. This land, known to all old residents as Mudgway''s farm, was farmed by Mr. Mudgway and his family for many years. Since he disposed of it, Mr. Mudgway has resided in Lower Hutt. His son had been farming elsewhere since the disposal of the Petone property. He resided recently in Waiwhetu Road, Lower Hutt.
