The deceased was born in Dundee, Scotland, in 1838, and came to New Zealand with his parents in the ship Phoebe, which arrived in Wellington in February, 1843. The family went to live at the Waiwetu, but at the time of the Maori rising they were driven back to Wellington, and Mr. McEwen learned the bakery trade with the late Mr. Peter Laing, and on the latter''s death he and Mr. Churchill bought the business, which they carried on for many years.

Brown (sic), of Lower Hutt), and one son (Mr. G. D. McEwen, of the firm of McEwen and Carter, Petone).
