The death is announced of Mrs James Hutchins, an old and highly respected resident of Woodville and lately residing at Tongaporutu. The late Mrs Hutchins was the first lady to reside in Wiidville, having arriver here in 1875. She and her husband lived in a tent on the Masterton Road, the latter being engaged felling bush on the late Mr Westoby's section.

They then came to reside in Woodville, where Mr Hutchins commenced business as a shoemaker in a little shop where The Examiner office now stands. Two years ago the family went to live at Tongaporutu.
Mr Joseph Barrott's family was the first to reside in the district, but Mrs Hutchins was the first lady to settle in Woodville.
Much sympathy will be extended to mr Hutchins and the family in their sad bereavement.
