Mr. F. W. Lang,

Frederick William Lang was born in Kent, educated at Blackheath, and came to the colony in 1872. Settling in the Waikato district, he devoted himself to farming pursuits. His amiability and steadiness of character soon gained him friends (first in the cricket field), and he was put on both the Road Board of his district and the Waipa County Council, of which he was Chairman for a number of years. He was also on the Waikato Hospital and Charitable Aid Board. The seat he holds was formerly held by Mr. John Bryce.
