Ann died of pneumonia, complicated with heart and liver disease
Daily Telegraph, 5 Dec 1900
Quite a gloom has been thrown over Waipawa by the death of an old and much respected resident, Mrs Ann Avison, relict of the late Mr James Avison and elder sister of the late Mr T. Shirley, of Mount Wensley, Taradale. Mrs Avison was in robust health until a week ago, when she was suddenly attacked with pneumonia, complicated with heart and liver disease and she passed away quietly yesterday afternoon. The deceased lady, who had attained the age of 69 years, came to New Zealand with her father, mother and six brothers and sister, at the age of nine years(sic), in the ship Arab, which was the second ship to arrive in Wellington in 1841. She was therefore a colonist of nearly sixty years standing. Wellington in those days was but a collection of Maori huts, so the new colonists took up their residence first in a tent and then in a raupo house. They were shown much kindness by the natives, but also passed through many thrilling experiences and had many hair-breadth escapes. Mrs Avison's residence in Hawke's Bay dates back nearly fifty years. Her husband was in business at Waipukurau and afterwards took up the estate at Waipawa known as Willow Bank, where they live for many years. On retiring from Willow Bank, Mr Avison built a villa residence near Waipawa township, where he died in 1894 and where Mrs Avison lived until her death.
Of the brothers and sisters who accompanied Mrs Avison to New Zealand only one sister is now living. Her father and mother both died at the age of 87.
The late Mrs Avison leaves a family of five sons and daughters and numerous grandchildren, one of whom is married. She was always ready and willing to assist in any good work. She was a member of the Gleaner's Union and exerted herself largely in any missionary effort. She will be missed and deeply mourned by a large circle of friends, who will long remember her goodness of heart, her unvarying kindness, her goodwill to all, her generosity and love. She will be interred in St Peter's cemetery on Thursday afternoon
