Title: Pioneering Reminiscences of Old Wairoa
Author: T. Lambert
Publication details: Thomas Avery and Sons Limited, 1936, New Plymouth

The Cottage, (The County Council at a later date had to threaten divers pains and penalties to secure the removal of the building off the main street) with special emphasis on the word "the," was the spot in old Wairoa where most of the rogueries, and shady land deals were hatched. It was a kind of annexe, or outpost of the Clyde Hotel, the licensee of which in the 'seventies was the late John Jude Taylor, an estimably honest and genial host, but tolerant to a degree of the doings of "the gentlemen" who foregathered in the building o' nights, and stayed there till the waiters appeared in the early morning to clean up and to bury the "dead marines." It stood on the Marine Parade site, quite blocking traffic westwards, except for a narrow path along the bank of the river, sometimes used by the residents, but not often, as the usual extent of the perambulations of the men of that day was between the two hotels, and "the Ravenswood" was situated eastwards. The architecture was very modest and the building possessed little copyright, being constructed of white pine split slabs set upright, whilst the roof was covered with shingles split from the noble kahikateas of Wairoa. The Cottage, again with special emphasis on the word "the," was the sanctum sanctorum of the military inefficients of that period, one of whom bore the distinguished nickname of Colonel Leather head, and most of the land-grabbers of those days, who continued to decry the value of Wairoa lands while at the same time they were busy getting the signatures of the Maoris to deeds of sale or lease at ridiculous prices.

Letter from Clyde Taylor to Beryl Taylor Andersen-Jarlov, 9 July 1994:

"I've been interested in the original family because old John Jude Taylor, for a moment, flashed across the history of Wairoa. I'm not sure how much I've told you of the events about Te Kooti's raid on Mohaka, but there is also another rather more tragic story, but not so closely related.

J. J. Taylor was in the 65th regiment, which was stationed for some months in Napier, then they went off to fighting Taranaki way. In 1863 he was discharged and came back to Napier to marry Ellen Morrison. Her mother's maiden name was Lavin. One of her family, probably a son, took up land near Mohaka when he farmed, with his wife and a couple of children.

When Te Kooti raided Mohaka and emptied the local store - and its liquor - the Maoris attacked the local people. Lavin and his wife found their two kids had been tossed on bayonets and killed, and Lavin, faced with a similar fate shot his wife and himself. They were found like that on the hillside, the kids by the stream where they played.
