Biography
Evening Post 16 June 1931
The death, occurred at her residence at Belmont recently of Mrs. Matilda Speedy, who was in her 83rd year. She was among the oldest of the settlers of the Hutt Valley, and the eldest daughter of the late Mr. William Scott, of Taita. Born in the Hutt Valley, in 1848, Mrs. Speedy was educated at the Rev. Mr. Dron''s school, and later, at Wellington, was married to the late Mr. Peter Speedy, of Belmont, by the Rev. Mr. Moir. Her many friends will recall with pleasure her reminiscences of the early days of the Hutt Valley, which she lived to see pass through various stages of development to what it is today. Among her reminiscences (which in these days of rapid-transport are of interest) she would tell of the laborious coach trip from Wellington to Belmont, which was undertaken when the late Mr. Speedy brought his bride home to the latter place, where she resided until her death. Mrs. Speedy was predeceased by her husband and one daughter, the late Mrs. F. A. Mason, of Foxton, and is survived by three sons — Mr. David Speedy (Palmerston North), Mr. William Speedy (Martinborough), Mr. Jack Speedy (Belmont), and six daughters, Mrs T McIvor (Featherston), Mrs. J. McLeod (Palmerston North), Mrs. C. J. D. Skinner (Mahina Bay), Mrs. 0. Farquhar (Palmerston North), Mrs. M. F. Keir (Seatoun), and Mrs. F. A. Stuart (Lower Hutt). There are nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
