Elizabeth Lecompt Le Lievre (Mother)
The first burial recorded on the stone is of
Edouard Le Lievre, Captain of the Heva, who
died in 1842 of “vegetable colic”. His
commemorative plaque survived the 1925
clearance, and is now mounted on the side of
the plinth. Captain Le Lievre was not a settler, but one of the many whalers who used Akaroa as a port.
