Evening Post 6 Apr 1897

Mrs Wm. Nation (mother of Mr W. C. Nation, proprietor of the Manawatu Farmer), who passed away on Thursday last, at the age of 84, came out from England to New South Wales as early as 1838. She met her then future husband on board ship, he being on his way to the colonies as a printer's apprentice. With her family she landed at Nelson in 1857, and there Mr Nation started the Colonist newspaper. Deceased was in possession of all her mental powers to the last. She will be widely mourned by those who knew and felt the influence of her kindly nature.
