  Notes	Dominion, 23 Jul 1914, Page 2 Elizabeth Mitchell Udy nee Bassett Passing of a Pioneer The late Mrs. John Udy, whose death was recorded on Tuesday, was, states a Wairarapa daily, a member of the Bassett family, well known early settlers in the Carterton district. She came to New Zealand with her parents and two brothers and a sister in the ship Queen Margaret in 1855. They landed in Wellington, and almost immediately left for the wilds of Wairarapa. There was only a track over the Rimutakas then, and the district gave little indication of the wonderful progress in store for it. The Bassets took upland first at Greytown, towards Woodside, and lived there ten years, undergoing all the hardships of pioneer life. The Waiohine river in 1858, brought down the heaviest flood known before or since, and the family had to take refuge for some time in the loft. The river became so troublesome that the family finally removed and settled in the bush, at Carterton, where they made a new home. Of the sisters, the elder married the late Mr. John Udy and the younger married Mr. Robert Dixon, now of Te Aroha. Of the sons, David died some two years ago. John, still lives in Carterton, hale and hearty.
