Mr. Henry Nelson Garland

Mr. Henry Nelson Garland, Secretary and Treasurer of the Auckland Hospital and Charitable Aid Board, is the second son of the late Rev. J. N. Garland, formerly Incumbent of St. John's, Jamaica, and was born in London, in 1841. He was educated at St. Catherine's Hermitage, Bath, and at Taunton College school. Mr. Garland emigrated to New Zealand in 1857, by the ship “John Masterman,” and went to Nelson, where he joined his uncle, Mr. C. J. Thompson, one of the first surveyors sent out by the New Zealand Company in 1841, and who closed his long, eventful, and arduous life in December, 1900. Mr. Garland removed to Auckland in 1864, and went in 1867 to the Thames goldnelds, where for ten years he acted as legal manager for some of the principal mining companies. In 1883, he was appointed secretary of the Auckland Hospital Committee, and upon the passing of the Hospital and Charitable Institutions Act, 1885, he was appointed to his present position. Mr. Garland is a prominent member and office-bearer of St. Sepulchre's Anglican Church in Khyber Pass. In 1872 he was appointed treasurer of the New Church Building Fund, and held the office up to the time of the church's consecration. He was also an enthusiastic member of the Auckland Choral Society, and was at one time its secretary.
