Candy, William Ernest, Farmer. Kimberley. Mr. Candy is the third son of Mr. Charles Benjamin Candy, an old Canterbury colonist, who is elsewhere referred to. He was born near Lake Wanaka, in 1863, and afterwards went with his father to Halswell, where he was educated and trained to farming. Later on he started on his own account at Springston, where he farmed for five years. He then went to Taranaki, where in partnership with his brother, he owned a dairy farm and butter factory. Seven years later the partnership was dissolved and Mr. Candy returned to Canterbury, and took up a farm at Clandeboye, near Temuka. In 1902 he sold that property, and settled at Kimberley, where he took up his present farm of 235 acres. It is all good agricultural land, and yields an average of about forty bushels of oats and thirty of wheat to the acre. While residing at Clandeboye Mr. Candy was a member of the local school committee. He married a daughter of Mr. William Prebble, an old colonist, of Prebbleton, and has a family of one son and one daughter.
