WHO IS OUR OLDEST RESIDENT.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —In your issue of Saturday, August 2nd, you have an article headed “Our Oldest Resident,” giving a few particulars of our oldest resident. I beg to differ with Mr A. Jonson. He has no right to try and claim the title — not that it’s of any value. I claim prior residence to Mr Johnson. I arrived in Foxton on February 13th, 1867, and have been a continual resident up to the present time, and I think there is another who can run him very close, if not beat him—-Mr P. Neylon. The first time I met him was between Christmas and New Year, 1867. There are two or three ladies I know who have prior claim to any of us, and I know two men of Moutoa also who have prior claim to us. Thanking you for space in your valuable paper, —I am, etc., Foxton’s Oddest Mat.k
Resident
