Thursday June 1 2023 7 Family history revealed by book entry When a hand-written entry in a prescription book dating back to 1901 caught the eye of Amy Goodbehere while holidaying in Oamaru, she couldn’t quite believe it THERE, WRITTEN in black ink over 120 years ago, was the name of her great, great, grand-aunt, Emily Mary Goodbehere. “It was a complete shock,” said Goodbehere, who works as visitor services co-ordinator for Te Whare Waiutuutu Kate Sheppard House in Ilam. A recent visit to the historic dispensary in the old grainstore building in Oamaru opened up a world of understanding about her aunt, which has since inspired a personal and professional journey of discovery. “My research into Emily’s story really began when I was exploring the dispensary and just happened to look down and see my ancestor’s name in the book,” she said. “I saw that on February 24, 1901, Emily was prescribed what looks like acid nitro murdie and pepsin, though it’s hard to be completely sure given the cursive writing. The prescription was most likely for a heart condition.” A quick check with Goodbehere’s father, who has CONNECTION: Amy Goodbehere outside Kate Sheppard house. Right – Goodbehere’s great, great grand-aunt Emily (left) at the private school she ran in 1894. an extensive knowledge of the Goodbehere family tree, confirmed it was indeed Emily Mary who passed away at the Wellington Hospital a few months later at the age of 51. Emily had sailed from England out to New Zealand and settled in Feilding with her parents and siblings in 1880. The family was integral to the setting up of the new town with Emily’s father, Samuel, serving as mayor on three occasions. “Emily never married and ran a private school in Feilding. The only photo I have of her is with her students in 1894, the year after suffrage was granted. It appears that all of the students at her school were girls with the exception of the two little boys in the front row who were her nephews,” said Goodbehere. “Emily was very involved in her faith, the Church of England, performing as organist and teaching Sunday school. She also helped to further the interest of the Wesleyan and Presbyterian churches as well, and on her father’s passing was appointed government meteorologist for the district.” It was what Goodbehere discovered next, however, that really got her intrigued. “I was excited to find out that Emily served as treasurer and secretary for the Feilding branch of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union from 1896; positions that she fulfilled with ‘much christian zeal and energy’ according to an obituary published after her death,” she said. • Turn to page 8 Bin Good with recycling By putting the right clean items in the yellow bin, you’re helping to reduce waste going to landfill.
