Church, Mrs Annie , Lernview Farm, Woodlands. Mrs Church has resided in the Long Bush and Woodlands districts for about twenty-two years. She was born in County Fermanagh, Ireland, where her father, Mr W. Fraser, was a yeoman farmer. After a trip to Scotland, lasting a year, she came to New Zealand in 1876, and, in the same year, married Mr Horace Charles Church, who had fought in the American eivil war. In 1882, Mr and Mrs Church took up a small farm at Long Bush, to which the Woodlands property was afterwards added. Mr Church died, in 1898, leaving two sons and two daughters. Mrs Church still carries on both farms-comprising between 160 and 170 acres-which are devoted to dairying.
