PERSONAL MATTERS
News has been received of the death at Parnham House, Beaumister, England on Tuesday last, of Mr. Edward Moorhouse, who was well known in the Dominion many years ago. Born at Knottingley, Yorkshire, 82 years ago, Mr. Moorhouse came out to New Zealand in the early days of the Canterbury Settlement—bringing with him the thoroughbred horse The Peer. He later settled in the North Island, where he was part owner and manager of Owhoako and Murimutu Sheep Stations, in the centre of the island. In 1883 he married the only daughter of the late Hon. W. B. Rhodes, of Wellington, and soon afterwards returned to England, where he was a prominent member of the Pytchley, Quoru and Badsworth Hunts. His eldest son, who did grand work as an aviator in France, and was awarded the Victoria Cross, died of wounds. His other children are a son, who is in the Royal Artillery, and two daughters, one of whom is married to the only son of Bishop Ryle, Dean of Westminister. Mrs. Moorhouse survives him. Col. W. H. S. Moorhouse, of Wellington, is a nephew of the deceased. [Evening Post, Volume XCIV, Issue 130, 29 November 1917, Page 8]
