"It is our painful duty to record the passing of another of the old settlers of the district, in the person of Mrs Margaret Cuthers McEwen, relict of the late Mr D. J. McEwen, who died on Wednesday, at the age of 73 years. The deceased lady had had a long and tedious illness and for some time had been bed-ridden. She was a native of Otago, being the daughter of old Scotch pioneers, Mr and Mrs Dalgleish. With her husband, she came to the North Island many years ago, settling first at Kaipara, later on at HelensVille and afterwards at Te Puke, where she has resided ever since and where she made many friends. She leaves a family of two sons and two daughters— Mr James McEwen of Whangarei, Mr Stewart McEwen, of Cambridge, Mrs Walsh, of Te Puke and Mrs Henry, of Dunedin. Her surviving brothers are Messrs John Dalgleish (Hamilton), James (Waikato), Simon (Masterton), Matthew (Clutha) and Stewart (Agricultural Instructor at Rotorua), whilst her sisters are Mrs Grant (Clutha) and Miss Annie Dalglsish (Rotorua). The funeral took place this afternoon and was largely attended. The burial service was conducted by the Rev. A. J. Davis."2Gravestone.

1Newspaper Obituary, Te Puke Times 4 Jul 1913.
"MR D. J. McEWEN. Quite a shock was experienced by the community, this morning when it became bruited abroad that Mr D. J. McEwen had passed away suddenly at his residence on Thursday night. The first feeling of incredulity was quickly followed by one of profound regret and dismay at the loss to the district of its most prominent public man. It was as if a prop that supported a building had been suddenly removed. Residents generally had come to regard the late Mr McEwen as their counsellor-in-chief and his sudden death occasioned a feeling of great personal loss. It cannot be said that his demise was totally unexpected, for he had suffered from an affection of the heart, although latterly he appeared in excellent health. On Thursday he returned from a visit to Tauranga, and after partaking of tea complained that he did not feel very well and would go to bed. At about ten o'clock Mrs McEwen went to the bedroom and asked her husband whether he would take any supper, receiving a reply in the negative. Some time later the occupants of the other room heard a slight noise, and on going into the bedroom found Mr McEwen beyond human aid. The deceased gentleman was so well-known owing to his lengthy connection with public bodies that his name was a household word throughout the entire district. His ability was unquestioned, and he was recognised as an authority on all local matters. Well-read, possessed of a vast fund of information, and a ready speaker, Mr McEwen made an excellent chairman of a meeting or festive gathering, whilst his social qualities made him a welcome guest everywhere. Mr McEwen was Chairman of Directors of the Bay of Plenty Dairy Association, an institution of which he was one of the founders, Chairman of the Tauranga County Council, ex-Chairman of the Te Puke Road Board, member of the Harbor Board, and of the Charitable Aid Board, whilst he also took a lively interest in all matters pertaining to sport. He was a native of Port Molyneux, South Island, and came to this Island 26 years ago, residing for some time at Helensville, North Auckland. Thirteen years ago he came to this district, and engaged in farming and flaxmilling, at the same time taking an active interest in all public matters. He leaves a widow and family of four - two sons and two daughters - to whom we, in common with the rest of the community, extend our heartfelt sympathy."2Newspaper, Te Puke Times 8 Jul 1913.
"FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR D. J. McEWEN. A DISTRICT'S TRIBUTE. The esteem in which the late Mr D. J. McEwen was held and the general feeling of regret that permeated the community at the passing of a man who had devoted so great a portion of his life to the public weal was evidenced on Sunday by the great concourse of mourners that gathered from far and near to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. Never before in the history of Te Puke, and but rarely in the district, has there been seen so large a funeral cortege as on the day when he was laid to rest. It could be truthfully said that almost every household in Te Puke and its vicinity had sent its representative, whilst numbers were present from all the outlying settlements, as well as from Tauranga and Rotorua. From an early hour motor cars, vehicles of all descriptions, in addition to horsemen, continued to arrive in the township, whilst the Maoris, over whom Mr McEwen wielded great influence, were present in large numbers, carrying banners, and wearing their emblems of mourning. In all, it is estimated that upwards of a thousand people attended the last ceremonies.
Members of every local body with which Mr McEwen had been connected were present - the Tauranga County Council, the Harbor Board, the Borough Council, the Bay of Plenty Dairy Association, the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board, the Te Puke Road Board, the local Rugby Union, and numerous other bodies and associations. The Public Works Department was represented by Messrs Morse and Snodgrass, the law by Judge Brown and Tauranga and Te Puke solicitors.
The marshalling of the cortege was left in the hands of Mr O. J. Hodge, Mr Wi Hape assisting in regard to the native mourners. A large assemblage gathered at the homestead at 2 o'clock, the appointed time, and as the coffin was borne from the house all solemnly uncovered as it passed through their midst. The pallbearers were Messrs Jas. and J. R. Tait, T. P. Lemon, E. Hoyte, R. Mutton, Patterson, H. E. Butcher, and A. Montgomery. No conveyance was utilised, the above-named gentlemen being relieved by relays of Natives, the first group consisting of employees from deceased's flaxmill, under Te Ratima, the others being under Kihawi, Kokiri, and Henare Kingi respectively, whilst| a group from the Ngati tribe, Tauranga, also rendered assistance. As the cortege approached the burial ground a funeral dirge was raised by the Native women, and the weird and mournful sound added to the solemnity of the occasion. The principal mourners were Messrs Stewart McEwen, sons of the deceased, and Messrs Dalgleish (2) brothers of Mrs McEwen.
At the graveside the funeral service was impressively conducted by the Rev. A. C. Wedderspoon. In the course of his address, he said: - "We meet -to-day on an occasion which has solemnised a whole community to pay our last respects to the departed one. Death's visit is always a solemn thing, but especially so when it comes with such startling unexpectedness, as in the case of our departed friend. It is not my province, nor have I the requisite information, to sketch the public career or private character of Mr McEwen, but this great concourse of Europeans and natives speaks more eloquently than words of the place he held in the esteem of this community. Mr McEwen was a man of great ability who truly placed his talents at the disposal of any individual or institution he could help. An ardent politician he also took a keen interest in all local affairs, and was a member, and generally chairman, of all the important boards throughout the Bay of Plenty, and his tact and courtesy, his wise and sound judgment made him a public benefactor. As a business man his main characteristic was his enterprise. He was one of that stamp of men who open up the way in the developing of a young colony, and have added to the material prosperity of their district and the Dominion. Our sympathy is warmly extended to the bereaved family circle, and we pray that they may be sustained in this dark and sorrowful hour. From this sad event we learn these lessons -first, ever to be ready to lend the helping hand to our fellow men, for, no matter what a man's creed, we can all in this respect follow the example of the Master who continually went along doing good; and secondly, to make our calling and election sure, for in such an hour as we think not, the-Son of Man may come for us."
Mr Wi Hape then spoke a few words on behalf the Natives, and the assemblage slowly dispersed."3Gravestone.

Mr. Little came to Idaho Falls September 1, 1930, but still maintained his sheep interests at Howe.
He was married to Miss Alice Mays of Arco in 1913.
He is survived by his wife, and the following sons and daughters: Mrs. Don Waymire and Andrew D. Little of Howe; Forrest Little, serving in the army, Grace and Helen Little of Pocatello; Calvin Little of Howe, and Jean and Jay Little of Idaho Falls.
