[During the lengthened period since the
publication of our last volume, a large number of pioneers, and
others identified with the history of the Fire Lands, have passed,
in the course of nature, to their eternal rest. Not very many
of these, however, were actual "first settlers," but arrived here
soon after on the larger wave of immigration that set in from the
East when the perils of actual settlement had been overcome by the
venturous and eager few. Some difficulty has been experienced,
therefore, in procuring the obituaries of those who were best known,
or whose lives might be regarded as of most general interest.
The great increase of population, and the multiplicity of modern
interests, have also had their part in obscuring the last traces of
some that were coeval with the infancy of the Fire Lands. To
the thoughtfulness of relatives and friends, therefore, and to our
own researches in the public press, we are indebted for the material
of the notices we here furnish, nor should any deem us blameworthy
if they discover omissions where such a multitude had to be selected
from. Some accounts, too, have been much
condensed, to suit the exigencies of space, but we have dealt with
all as tenderly as we might with the remains of those loved ones
themselves. As being more convenient of reference, we have
likewise adopted an alphabetical arrangement. ED. PIONEER.]
