"Norsewood — This morning about half-past-seven o'clock Mr Charles FREDERICKSEN, when on the way to work discovered the body of a man on the side of the road directly opposite the old Railway Hotel. It was that of an elderly man. The leg was broken and the body was covered with frost. The body seemed to have been dead some hours. It proves to be that of Lauritz LARSEN, a recently arrived settler from Makaretu at Norsewood. He was a Norweigian, with a wife and seven children. Mr FREDERICKSEN reported the discovery to Constable SIDDELLS who was soon on the spot with a conveyance, and removed the body to the Junction Hotel. Mr JOHNSON, Coroner, was informed, and the inquest will be held to-morrow. Deceased started for Takapau yesterday, and it is surmised that as he was coming home he was thrown from his horse and perished with the cold.
[END]."
Suggests he died 26 May 1890 or 27 May 1890, not 28 May 1890 as indicated by Council burial records and headstone.
7Bush Advocate, Page 2, 29 May 1890.
"Yesterday at 10 a.m. an inquest was held at the Junction Hotel, Norsewood, on the body of Lauritz LARSEN, who resided at Norsewood. Deceased who recently arrived from Makaretu, was a Norwegian, being born in the town of Boeynes, Norway, and was aged 48 years. Mr Samuel Johnson, Coroner, presided. The following gentleman composed the jury, viz., M. Back, J. Mandel, F.C. Shugar (foreman), J. Pettersen, C. Garforth, who were sworn, and went to adjoining room to view the body. On returning the first witness to be called was Maren Larsen, who being unable to speak English Mr J. Pettersen was duly sworn, and interpreted that she had seen the deceased and that he was her husband. She had been in New Zealand 16 years, and had 7 children, the oldest 20 years, and the youngest 3 years old. She last saw her husband alive at 8 o'clock Monday morning, when he was leaving for Takapau to look at and measure up some contract work, intending to return the same night. He was on a quiet horse, but one apt to shy. The deceased had been thrown off his horse on one occasion whilst staying in Makaretu. The horse came home riderless.She noticed that the stirrups were hanging over the saddle that he had fallen off, and therefore went to look for him, but met him coming home only having a slight wound on the temple. That was the only time that he had been thrown to her knowledge. He had been drinking at Takapau. He was addicted to drink. Last Christmas he was so drunk that her son had to carry him home. Had the horse come home on Monday night witness would have gone to look for him. Did not know that deceased had any money before he left home but have since assertained that he borrowed 6s from A. Anderson, for the purpose of getting his horse shod, but it was not used for that purpose as the horse is still unshod.
By the jury: Could tell that her husband was thrown by the stirrups being thrown across the saddle.
Hans Findsen called, deposed that he was a labour residing at Takapau. Knew the deceased Lauritz Larsen. Last saw him at the camp that is situated in the bush near Kopua about 2 miles from Takapau, about four o'clock last Monday afternoon. He said when he left that he was going home to Norsewood the only way being past Takapau. He might possibly have stopped on the road. Was quite sober when he left. Heard that the deceased had some food while at the camp.
Frank Conroy called, deposed that he was barman of the Takapau Hotel. Was in the bar on Monday the 26th during the whole day with the exception of meal times. Knew the deceased, always considered him to be a sober and respectable man. Never knew him the worse for liquor. The deceased came into the bar about half-past seven, made a remark on the coldness of the weather, and asked for a glass of beer. Gave him a long glass of beer about half a pint for which he paid 6d. Invited him into the bar parlour, but he refused, saying he was going home in a few minutes. Another customer come in a little later and asked him, (the deceased), to have a drink with him. Gave him another long beer. After a few minutes conversation he went into the bar parlor and sat down by the fire. AFter being there some little time deceased came to witness and asked him to trust him four drinks, as he wanted to shout for some friends. Witness agreed to, and served the deceased with a small whiskey. Some little time after he asked witness to give him more credit, which he refused, telling him that he had a long way to go and it was time he was going. He left soon after and witness did not see him again. All the drink he had was two beers and one whiskey and the amount of money spent in the house was sixpence. SHould judge it to be twenty minutes past eight when he left. Did not see him mount the horse. He was perfectly sober when he left the house. He had no food while there; refused the drink the second time because he had no money.
Henry North, called, deposed that he was a carpenter, residing at Takapau. Knew the deceased, and was working with him at Mortensen's mill and bush. Last saw him alive on Monday evening in the bar parlor of the Takapau Hotel about 8 o'clock. Deceased and he were yarning about old times for a little while. WHen he first came, in he mentioned that Joe Barry had just shouted for him in the bar passage. AFter sitting a few minutes the deceased shouted, and drinks were served to deceased, witness, and two others. Did not notice particularly what the deceased drank, but thought it was beer. Deceased stayed about half an hour at the outside. Had no more drinks; did not know whether he wanted to shout again. He showed no symptoms of drink in either gait or voice, being able to walk to the door and unfasten it, which he could not have done if he had been unsteady at all. Had he been drunk should have seen him mount his horse. That was the last witness saw of him. Could not say whether he was a good rider.
Thomas O'Grady, bushman, Takapau, being sworn, deposed that he was at the Takapau Hotel about a quarter to 7. Saw the deceased who came in about half an hour after when witness was sitting in the bar parlor in company with Mr North, Mr Prescott, and Mr Conroy. The deceased shouted and had one drink; could not say when it was. Could not have been in the room more than 20 or 30 minutes, because witness left at 9, and the deceased left some time before witness did. Consider he was perfectly sober. He had only one drink to witness' knowledge; no one shouted in return. Witness went straight home; it was a bright moonlight night, but very frosty.
Thomas Prescott, being sworn, said that he was part proprietor of the Takapau Hotel. Knew the deceased; saw him last on Monday, the 26th inst, about 8 o'clock, at their house in the bar parlor. Witness invited him to come warm himself before he went home. He was sober, only he seemed very cold. After yarning with him some time, he asked witness and some others to have a drink with him. Did not notice particularly what he was drinking, but it looked like whisky. He had only had one drink to the witness' knowledge. He showed no signs of drink; never asked witness to give him credit for more drinks. About 18 months ago witness had some business with him, and he drank 7 or 8 drinks and did not seem any the worse for it, only a little jolly. Conroy is the barman, and usually attends to the bar. Witness did not himself attend to the bar except on very rare occasions. Should say that deceased sat about a quarter of an hour after having the drink before he left for home. He was not likely to be affected by the outer air. He seemed sober when he left. Would have given him more drink if requested, as witness would have deemed it perfectly safe to have done so.
Joseph Peers said that he resided at the old Railway Hotel on the Norsewood road. Was a shepherd. Remembered Monday night last. About 8.30 or 9 o'clock heard a horse galloping past the house on the road, and when nearly opposite the house someone called "woh."
The horse did not stop, but kept on at the same speed. Did not go outside; did not hear the dogs bark; all his dogs were fastened up in the stable. Retired to bed shortly afterwards, hearing nothing unusual. Got up about seven next morning, and had just started the fire when Mr Fredericksen knocked and asked him to come outside as there had been a fatal accident. Lifted up the blind and saw aman lying on the road covered in frost. Finished dressing and went with Fredericksen and inspected the body. Did not recognise it. It was lying nearly on its back, the leg hanging over the side of the formation of road. Noticed there was blood oozing out of the right ear, also that one of his hands was bruised. Did not disturb it. Fredericksen said that he would go and inform the police, and at once started for Ormondville, leaving the body in witness' charge. By the look of the ground and the dirt on the body it appeared to have been dragged four or five yards.
By the Police: My dogs were locked up. I make a practice of it. I have no animal that a horse would be likely to shy at. It was a usual thing that people would ride past at a galop. It is about five miles from Takapau to where the body was found. The body would be about 2 chains from the house, on the side of the road furthest from the house. There were no sheep near where the incident happened. My dogs are not in the habit of rushing out to bark at horses passing , though some of the young ones do sometimes.
Carl Olsen, being sworn, said he was a butcher residing at Norsewood, near Te Whiti clearing, on the main road towards Takapau. Remembered Monday night; was out till about half-past ten. When walking home witness found about five chains from home a horse with a saddle and bridle on. Nothing was broken, but the reins were dirty and looked as if they had been dragged some distance. The saddle was all complete, the stirrups hanging in their proper places. Recognised the horse as belonging to Lauritz Larsen. Did not know what sort of a horse it was, but deceased told witness it had thrown him once when at Makaretu. Witness took the horse to his father's place. Did not think there had been any accident as the saddle was alright and the reins were over his head. The frost lay on the saddle, and it looked as if the horse had broken away and travelled some distance. The light was good.
Charles Frederick Fredericksen said that he was a settler residing at Norsewood, and knew deceased well. Remembered Tuesday morning; was on his way to Takapau. On arriving nearly opposite to the Railway Hotel saw the body of a man lying on the road. Rode close up and recognised it to be Lauritz Larsen. Called Mr Peers and told him that there had been an accident and asked him to come out and see the body. He did so, and it was decided that witness should go to Ormondville and report to Constable Siddells, which he did. Did not see any dogs about.
James Siddells, constable, stationed at Ormondville, said that on Tuesday last at 9 a.m. Fredericksen reported a fatal accident near the old Railway Hotel, and that Lauritz Larsen was lying on the road dead. Proceeded to the place named with a conveyance, and found the deceased with Mr Peers watching over him. Mr Peers informed witness that the body had not been disturbed. The body was lying on its back, with the right leg hanging over the side of the road, the left arm outstretched, and the right lying close to the body, the head lying on the road in the direction of Norsewood. On examining the ground, found horse tracks showing that the horse had turned off the road towards the fence and turned round, which would account for the body lying in the position in which it was found. A small quantity of blood was oozing out of the right ear, and there was a small scratch on the back of the head. His hat was lying close alongside of him. His clothes were dirty, and there were marks on the road for four or five yards, as if the body had been dragged. Found on more minute examination that the right leg had been broken just above the knee, but did not find any other wounds. Caused the body to be removed to the Junction Hotel, and on searching the deceased found a silver watch and chain, and a purse containing sixpence. He then reported the matter to the Coroner. Did not see anything likely to cause a horse to shy on the road. Do not think he moved after the fall, but am of the opinion that the deceased was stunned by the fall, and perished with the cold. Do not think that the horse kicked deceased. The left foot shows signs of having been dragged by the stirrup.
The Jury, without retiring, gave a verdict to the effect that death was caused by accidentally falling from his horse.

"NORSEWOOD
The funeral of the late Lauritz LARSEN satrted at 2 p.m. from the Junction Hotel yesterday. There was a fair attendance, and the service was conducted in Scandinavian by Mr E. FREDRICKSEN, who spoke very impressively and earnestly from the words, "And it is appointed for man once to die, but after this the Judgement," and at the grave from the words, "Be ye therefore ready, for at such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh." He said he did not intend to speak on or for the corpse, as some term it, as that would be useless, but would direct his words to those present, to whom the present occasion should be a warning. Those who had read the Bible knew how death had entered into the world through the sin of our first parents, and how every word the Lord had spoken either of blessing oir threatening had always been fulfilled to the very letter. Even those who shut their eyes to the word of God could not help seeing it fulfilled every time when one is called away by death, but the text reached into the future, and spoke of the Judgement to come. Some would willingly accept the theory of Freethinkers and Adventists that the soul dieth with the body and was ultimately annihilated, but there were the unmistakable words of the Lord about the rich man, "I am surely tormented in this flame." Norsewood had received many calls and warnings. God was patiently waiting for the people to give up their sins and to turn to him, hence we were spared because God was slow to punish, whereas according to our merits we would be likened unto Sodom. But sometimes one is taken away suddenly that others may take warning. Like our first parents the sinner attempted to flee from and hide himself from God who is yearning with love and mercy towards him. About £3 was subscribed by the people that met together, for the widow who is very poor. This paid the funeral expenses, and left a little surplus.—
