M. Stuart

ANNE STUART Posted: 21 Sep 2018

Mary Stuart (nee Pulman) was born in Manchester, England in January 1860 and died in Epsom, Auckland on 17th April 1937. To quote the Auckland Star of 23 April 1937 -

"In the death of Mrs Mary Stuart in her 78th year, Auckland has lost a link with its early history. She was the daughter of Mr George Pulman, of Shortland Street, one of Auckland's earliest photographers. Born in England, Mrs Stuart arrived in Auckland in 1861. During her long life in the city she was predominantly associated with church work, first as a pupil and teacher in old St Paul's Church at the foot of Prince's Street, and later as a teacher at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Epiphany and All Saints' Church. In this work, Mrs Stuart had the constant help of her husband, Mr Charles Stuart, who for nearly half a century has held the position of a Sunday school superintendent. Mrs Stuart is survived by her husband, Mr Charles Stuart, by two sons, Albert Pulman Stuart, post-master, Opotiki, Ernest Charles Stuart, Ponsonby; by one daughter, Mrs Frances M. Walker, a sister, Mrs W. Matthews, Ponsonby, and two brothers, Mr Fred Pulman, Whangarei, and Walter Pulman, Otahuhu."
