REHIA SETTLER DROWNED - Auckland Star Volume 55, Issue 82, 5 April 1924, Page 11 (Back in 1924 there was a terrible flood in Dargaville.) So far there has only been one life lost in the floods that have done so much damage on the flat country bordering on the Kaipara Harbour. The victim was Mr John Kerr, a well known settler of Rehia who was drowned while trying to cross a creek between Tokatoka and his own property. He was a married man with a grown up family and formerly lived in Auckland where he was a member of a well known firm Messrs Kerr and Owsley.
