This image of a headstone was taken at Terrace End Cemetery. The first public school in Palmerston North opened on the corner of Main and Princess streets in 1873 and Mr R N Keeling was employed as schoolmaster at a salary of 100 pounds per annum. When he left to become secretary to the Palmerston North Town Board in 1875 he was replaced by Henry Watkin Waite. Mr Waite died suddenly on 25 November 1877, aged 28. An obituary in the 'Manawatu Times' praised his 'personal qualities', 'integrity of character'
