Description

Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. The earliest that Pākehā women arrived in Palmerston North was believed to be in 1866, when some travelled through totara forest from Foxton. Although Louisa Snelson has been recognised as the third Pākehā women in Palmerston North in 1873, a group of Scandinavian women came before her. This article tells the immigration story of these earliest Scandanavian settlers. It also includes the stories of Lydia Burr née Hoskins, Matilda Perrin née Montgomery, Louisa Snelson, Sarah Linton née Kibblewhite and Harriette Cole née Durrant.
