Biography
Emma Morgan /Ema Mokena / Ema Ripihia
February 13, Sunday.--I preached at St. Mark's, Te Aroha, morning and evening, and at the latter service held a Confirmation. There was a good congregation in the morning, and an overflowing one in the evening. The site of the church, which is very central and convenient, was the gift of the Maori wife of Mr. Lipsey, the daughter of the late Chief Mokena Hou (Morgan).
Her father is Chief Te Mokena, and mother is Rina, of Te Aroha
Died aged aged 55
- Fact: http://familysearch.org/v1/LifeSketch Waikato Times Thursday 17th May 1906

On an aside, as you have had some access to the family histories of the Morgans and Lipseys, would you have any idea who August Morgan was who died in 1900? Grave in Te Aroha with the other family graves, so must be related. See https://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Te_Aroha_Cemetery-6
