Mrs. Kate M. Nelson

Mrs. Kate M. Nelson, the Headmistress of the Newman Public School, was born and educated in County Cork, Ireland, and came to the Colony as Miss Sullivan in 1883. After a few months at the Mount Cook Infants' School under Mrs. Francis, she was appointed assistant teacher at Mauriceville, where she remained some six or seven years. Removing thence to Eketahuna for a year, Mrs. Nelson, who was married during her residence in Mauriceville, was in 1892 transferred to Newman on account of her husband having taken up land in that neighbourhood.
