The grave of Frances Pearce, who died in childbirth in May 1864. Her husband, Horatio O. Stone, commissioned this beautiful sculpture, which is protected from the elements by a glass box. Of course, there are rumors that the grave is haunted and that a strange mist will appear on the anniversary of Frances' death. Sadly, I suspect that's called condensation.
Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago, February 18, 2007.
The 2022 Monteiths New Zealand Trials Champs were held at Labour Weekend on the rocks around Alexandra. A record entry of just under one hundred riders took on three days of challenging riding. The venues were all close to Alexandra with only 15 minutes drive time to each day’s event. The first day was held on the hills above Hawley Road in warm dry weather. It is a great venue that has been used at past South Island rounds. Day 2 was held at a new property at Conroys Gully in Fruitlands. This would have to be one of the best venues in NZ with sections set up down both sides of a gulley with spectators in deck chairs located along the top of the gully being able to watch action in a number of sections from a single vantage point. The last day was the most challenging with a return to new sections above Hawley Road, but with strong winds, cold temperatures, and showers that turned to rain. Tough conditions for competitors, and also for each observer that stood in the cold wet conditions until all riders finished.
As the largest trials event held in NZ there were some queues but riders and some spectators were very good and helped the observers to keep everyone flowing through the sections. This positive attitude by spectators and riders made it a great event to be part of. The small team that make up the Southern Trials group did an excellent job and put on an event of a high standard. Thanks to them, the officials, and especially the observers, as without them the event could not be run. Thanks also to Lynette who took photos all weekend, as I never got time to pick it up myself.
The three days certainly found worthy champions in each class with Dylan Ball the top rider in New Zealand for the third time. Congratulations to Dylan, and all other class winners.
My g-g-grandfather James K. P. Pearce and his wife Betty (my g-g-grandmother) with an assortment of children and grandchildren.
Another photo of Frances Pearce and her daughter. It is said to be the most beautiful cemetery monument in Chicago. Mrs. Pearce died in childbirth and her daughter died a couple of months later. Due to the sun and refletions it was hard to get closer photo, but the detail is amazing on the statue. Their is rumour that is haunted.

“This is my dog Jessie, she lives at home with my wife Sandy and I. Jessie is 16 years old now. I’ve been bringing her to visit the Mannum Hospital residents most of the mornings of her life. It’s a pleasure to have Jessie live with us; she is a lovely natured dog, and the Hospital residents love seeing her in the mornings. I am not sure how much longer she will be able to do this though, her age is catching up with her, and there will be a time soon when she will have to retire”. I love my River town of Mannum - it’s my home.
