The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Canterbury Provincial District]

Dickhoff, Henry

Dickhoff, Henry, Farmer, Easter-brook Road, Flaxton. Mr. Dickhoff was born in 1841 in the province of Hanover, Germany. He was brought up to a country life, and left his native land in 1859 for London, where he lived for four years, and then sailed for Auckland by the ship “Queen of Beauty.” As the native troubles were then very prominent, he left immediately for Canterbury, where he worked in various places for two years, when he purchased fifty acres of land in the Flaxton district. On the outbreak of the West Coast diggings, Mr. Dickhoff went to the Buller district, and was more or less successful as a miner for a period of eleven years. After taking a trip to the Fatherland, he settled on his land at Flaxton. Mr. Dickhoff was married in Germany, in 1878, to a daughter of Mr. H. Wahlers, of Hanover, and has three sons and two daughters surviving. Mrs Dickhoff died in October, 1894.
