Mr. Hemi Taitimu
Mr. Hemi Taitimu, sometime Maori Missionary of Parengarenga, first engaged in mission work in 1890, and exerted much beneficial influence among his own people. He was instructed by the late Rev. Joseph Matthews, and advanced the mission work in the district, where he was highly spoken of by natives and Europeans alike, as a sincere and indefatigable labourer in the good cause of civilisation. Mr. Taitimu died, much lamented, in October, 1900.
Rev. Hemi Taitimu.
