My grandmother was a nurse at No 4 General Hospital at Mooi River for two years from mid February 1900, so she arrived just after your great grandfather died. You might be interested to read more about the hospitals and nursing, you will find letters from some of the nurses in the articles below
Both the Australian and New Zealand National Libraries have digitised many historic newspapers and searching is absolutely free
just search for "Mooi River hospital"
Australia = Trove: Home trove.nla.gov.au/
New Zealand = PapersPast paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/
