"Yet another of our old veterans has passed away at the age of ninety years, come December, viz., Mr Peter Brady, of Howick, late of the 58th Regiment. The remains of the old soldier were laid in the grave in the Panmure cemetery yesterday beside his wife, the Rev. Father Hara officiating, a large cortege from Howick following- Captain Hattaway, who was present at the funeral, related that he had known Mr, Brady since 1842, that he had fought in the first war of New Zealand, through every engagement, Okaihau, Ohaeawai, Ruapekapeka, and all the fighting of Heke's war; that he and others who remained in this colony had come thirty and forty miles from the bush country to bid farewell to the old corps, paraded at Albert barracks, where many of them kissed the colours under which they had fought and bled, and many other very interesting incidents. Mr Brady was servant to Sir George Grey in the early days, and accompanied Sir George all through the North Island on that memorable journey when the first Europeans were allowed to visit the terraces in the Rotomahana Lake country, and the names of the party were etched in the centre of the terrace. Mr Brady had numerous children and grand children, and it was pleasant to see the devoted attention they showed him in his declining years.—(Howick correspondent.).".
