Thomas's OBITUARY, 26 Aug 1889
On Sunday evening the Rev W. Rowse preached a memorial sermon to a large congregation. The text was taken from Genesis, the 19th chapter and the 16th verse - "And while he lingered the men laid hold of his hands, the Lord being merciful too him." At the conclusion of a most impressive sermon the preacher referred to a recent mournful loss in the following touching language:- The visitation of the death angel has been amongst us lately. I would call your attention to the late Mr McLennan, who had just been taken from our midst. He had perhaps lived for years indifferent to his salvation. He had been brought up by Christian parents and had received an early religious tuition, but still he lingered, but alas there came upon him a weakening disease. Coming, as he did, from Nova Scotia, he had many times received words of warning from the Rev Norman McLeod, who had ministered unto him in that far off land. After coming to New Zealand his disease became worse and he was unable to follow his avocation of life and he lived, still buoyed up with hope that he might again be restored to his wife and family, to those most dear to him. But, alas, that distressing disease, consumption, was drawing his life to a close.
During the time that his bodily strength was failing him, he thought more of the welfare of his soul. Many kind christian friends visited him, including our sincere friend, Mr Jones, who lived close by him. During one of my visits he said to me, "What if I am not right when I die?" Think, my friends, what an awful position for a dying man to be in, doubtful of his own salvation and so near death. Does it not teach us that we should not linger or procrastinate, but that we should accept Christ while He may be found and call upon Him while He is near. After praying with him for some time a serene smile beamed over his countenance. He had yielded again his hear to God. No longer was he disinclined to receive the word of God. No longer was he unmindful of his souls welfare and so it was truly a blessed thing to see him lay hold of Christ and Salvation. A few days later I was summoned to his bedside to see him breath his last, to see the joy in that beaming countenance thanking us all for our interest in his welfare. He had constantly been asking for prayer up to the time the end came, when he passed away into the arms of Jesus like a child into slumber. It gave us all pleasure to see how he passed away with that serene smile of resignation to Christ which signalises the parting of the truly blessed.
Annie next married Edward Alfred Andrews in 1891 & had 2 children.
Annie's OBITUARY, 23 Feb 1939
The death occurred at Mt Albert, Auckland, on 14th February, of Mrs Annie Andrews, who was a resident of the district for the past 30 years, The deceased lady was a daughter of the late Murdoch and Ann McKenzie, of Burnside, Masterton, who were amongst the earliest settlers of that district, having arrived there in the 'forties.'
Mrs Andrews was born in Masterton in 1860 and in 1879 was married to Mr Thomas McLennan, of Waipu, North Auckland, who died ten years later, leaving his widow with seven children. Two years later the widow was married to Mr Edward A. Andrews, of Brightwater, Nelson and there were two children of this marriage, but both predeceased their mother by several years.
Mrs Andrews' house was always 'open' and frequently visited by scores of friends and her kindly acts to those in need were innumerable.
"Burnside," the early home of the McKenzie family, played an important part in the early history of the Wairarapa and it was the subject of an interesting article published in the Masterton "Times Age" on 15th December 1938, when it was stated that part of the estate is now incorporated in the Solders Memorial Park and another part is occupied by the Methodist Children's Home.
Mrs Andrews friends often listened with interest to her stirring tales of early Wairarapa experiences and of the growth of Masterton from a small settlement to ta thriving and important town with thousands of inhabitants.
Mr and Mrs Andrews also resided for periods of years in Wellington and Nelson, so their circle of friends extends over a large part of the Dominion. Mrs Andrews is survived by her husband, four sons, Messrs Donald, John, Kenneth and Roderick McLennan and one daughter, Miss M. (Dolly) McLennan, of Mr Albert, several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
