• Notes

  Jessie Williams lived in Wainoni Road where the petrol station stands today. The office at the station was once her home. Jessie was a daughter of John and Edith Kerr who are also buried in the graveyard and was thus a grand-daughter of New Brighton pioneers Peter Kerr and David Wilson Hamilton Jessie Francis Williams , 84, died on 9 July 1964. Two of Jessies sons are buried not far from their mother. In grave 268 there is George Williams , 67, who died on 20 March 1969. Maitland Hamilton Williams, 62, died on 1 May 1970 and is buried in grave No. 288. On his stone there is a symbol in the shape of a horseshoe, demonstrating that he was, like other Kerrs, passionate about horse racing. Jessie suffered a broken back due to fall from horse
