Inscription

Donald McGregor DRUMMOND, born 1815, Dunblane, Scotland, drowned 1850, Lake Wairarapa. [Inscription added to headstone=] In loving memory of Dame Norma Janet HOLYOAKE, DCMG, QSO, nee INGRAM, 1909-1984, wife of Sir Keith Jacka HOLYOAKE, great niece of Donald DRUMMOND.

Donald DRUMMOND arrived on the Bengal Merchant in March 1840. He married Catherine MacRAE in Nelson in 1842 and settled on a property in Hataitai/ Kilbirnie, supplying milk to Wellington residents. Drummond Street in Newtown is named after him. He died (with another settler, John DRUMMOND, and two local Maori) during an attempt to drive a herd of cattle across Lake Wairarapa in August 1850. Newspapers at the time described a severe wind squall which threw the party into difficulties.
