Mrs. Julia Annie #Tayler died on Saturday at her residence in #Littlebourne, says the “Dunedin Star.” She was a daughter of Mr. David Carey, and was born at #Waikouaiti on 21st April, 1841, being the first white child to see the light in #Otago. Having a clear memory, she could call to mind the arrival of the John Wickliffe and the Philip Laing, for she was taken down to the Otago Heads to see those vessels come in with the first of the company’s #settlers. Her husband, Mr. John Tayler, died 37 years ago, three years after they went to live at Littlebourne. He was son of Mr. Thomas Tayler, of Port Chalmers. Mrs. Tayler took an active interest in Trinity Methodist Church, of which she was a member, and she closely identified herself with the Otago Early Settlers’ Association, but, being of a retiring disposition, she avoided prominence. The members of her family are Mrs. W. Waddell (Wellington), Mrs. Shanks (Gore), Mrs. R. N. Wilson (Timaru), Miss Emily Tayler (Christchurch), Miss Mabel Tayler (on the staff of the High Street School), and Mr. Thomas Tayler (Bluff).
