132 Shortly before his departure for New Zealand Mr Davidson was united in marriage to Miss Mary G. Duke, eldest daughter of Robert Duke, Esq., of Bearehill, a well-known and much respected citizen of Brechin. The local newspaper concludes its account of the marriage ceremony as follows:—"Mr and Mrs Davidson carry with them to Dunedin the hearty good wishes of a large circle of friends. With Mrs Davidson goes the warm sympathy of many of the poor in Brechin, who have partaken of her unostentatious charity. Mr Davidson was a universal favourite while officiating as assistant minister in Brechin, and he will carry with him to his new sphere of labour the best wishes of many of our citizens of all denominations."
