  1. Hi, thanks for writing about our mutual great great aunt Edie. I remember meeting her in her final year when she was living at Edie Danby’s( also a relation/retired farmer) in Papatoetoe. I was 4 and I have to say she was the finest and most dignified ‘old lady’ I have met, a beautiful soul. I passed your article on to my sister. Great to have some more of her story and the photo as well. Regards, Tash ( of Hill family)

  3. Hi Adrienne…I couldn’t leave a comment on your GG aunt Edith’s blog post page as comments have been disabled, but I photographed her grave today and as you haven’t mentioned about where she was buried in the blog post, I wasn’t sure if you were aware of where she was.

    I was so delighted when I commenced researching her name this afternoon to find such an admirable person. I have also included your blog page link to her story within my uploads to flickr as such a fantastic photograph on it of her and fantastic to read her words of the event.
