DEATHS.
On the 1st August, at Maitland street, Dunedin, Samuel Frederick Bastard, sixth son of the late Wm. Segar Bastard, merchant, Exeter, England; aged 60. Australian and Home, papers please copy. -Otago Daily Times, 3/8/1882.
Samuel's grave is, indeed, an unusual one just for his name. I have not been able to find much about his life but part of what I did was a surprise to me. The single name attached to Council records of his grave led me to expect that there had not been a woman devoted enough to him to share his name. However, the surname seems not to have been used as much for an insult then as now:

Samuel is also recorded in the Council cemetery records as having been in New Zealand since 1863. He was born in England and based himself in Auckland. It seems that he left Auckland for Dunedin to dare his all in the investment in a boot factory. It did not prosper and Samuel lost everything.

Part of "Our Home Letter"
The departure of Mr. S. F. Bastard, who for the past nine years has represented the well known firm of Messrs. Sargood and Co., of this city, was the occasion on the 6th May, of a complimentary dinner being tendered to him at the Waitemata Hotel by a number of citizens identified with the commercial interests of the city. About twenty-five gentlemen were present; and in the after-dinner speeches reference was made to the integrity which has marked Mr. Bastard's career in Auckland, and expressions of regret at his coming departure. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. M. Shera, and the vice chair by Mr. J. Cosgrave, both of whom eulogised the business ability and personal worth of their guest. The reunion of mercantile men which the occasion afforded was of the most pleasant kind. -NZ Herald, 27/5/1878.
