Mr. Arthur Ward

Mr. Arthur Ward , sometime of “Welton,” Drummond, was born in Hull, Yorkshire, England. He went to sea as a lad, and came to New Zealand about the year 1850. Mr Ward settled in Christchurch, where he followed a mercantile life for some years, and twenty years later, acquired the property now occupied by his son, Mr W, E. Ward. The land was then in its native state, but Mr Ward lived to see it fully improved, and planted with some very fine belts of shelter trees. He was married, in 1862, to a daughter of the late Mr Edward Simpson, of Stowemarket, Suffolk, England, and at his death in September, 1902, left two sons and three daughters.
