News Report of Death 6 August, 1940


Temperance Worker Passes.

One of the Dominion's most wholehearted workers in the cause of Women's Christian Temperance, Mrs. F. Bischoff, of Hawera, died at her home last week. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Cocker, pioneer settlers of Tarariaki, and passed her early life on a bush farm at Ararata, then out in "the wilds." In the cause of temperance Mrs. Bischoff was Parliamentary superintendent for the union in South Taranaki for many years. Latterly she was a semi-invalid, but retained her interest in the cause until the end. She read extensively and painted efficiently in water colour and oil.
