OBITUARY
Mr Daniel Coe
On Monday the 24th April ,occurred the death of one of New Zealands oldest pioneers, Mr Daniel Coe. Mr Coe,
who was in his 90th year, had resided in Mellsop Avenue, Waiuku, for the past twenty years and was respected by
all who knew him. His had been a highly adventurous life and many were the stirring tales and personal

Family History Report
reminiscences he could tell of the Maori Wars in the Waikato and Taranaki, and of the Maori Leader, Te Kooti.
Mr Coe was born in Hobart, Tasmania, in 1849 and came with his parents to Auckland when he was 2 years
old.Mr Coe at an early age assisted his father in one of Aucklands first butchery businesses but, on his father's
death a few years before the commencement of the war in the Waikato, and while still a lad, though well grown
and of an adventurous disposition, made his home amongst the Maoris of the Waikato and Taranaki districts. He
aquired a perfect mastery of the Maori tongue, an accomplishment that served him in later life as a first grade
interpreter. During the course of his sojourn amongst the Maoris he made the aquaintance of such notable figures
as the Maori King, Potatau, Te Kooti, Waharoa, Wiremu, Tamehana and Von Tempsky. He was in fact "Adopted"
at one stage by Te Kooti , who was many years later to become such a terror to the early settlers.
About 1870 Mr Coe's inclination led him to follow the call of the sea and for a number of years he was engaged in
the New Zealand coastal trade, with the occasional trips to the South Sea Islands. During the adventurous years of
the gold rushes at Thames and Coromandel ports. He was engaged in sailing his own ketch between Auckland and
the Coromandel ports. He later settled down in the Waikato and King Country districts, in 1878 marrying his
present wife, then Miss Sophie Moore.
Until about twenty years ago, when he returned to Waiuku, he was a well known figure in the Waikato and King
Country, a friend to both Maori and pakeha and on many occassions acting as interpreter before the Native Land
Court.
He is survived by his wife and eight children Mesdames Porter and Gibson (Auckland) , Patterson (Waiuku) and
Messers William Coe (Rotorua) Jack and Dan Coe (Te Awamutu), Jim and Ernie Coe (Waiuku).
