WHO IS THE OLDEST RESIDENT?
ANOTHER CLAIMANT,
lu connection with the controversy as to who is entitled to the honour of being Foxton’s oldest resident, Mrs W. R. Howe called on us this afternoon and stated that she arrived in this district with her husband in March, 1863. Her husband took up land at Moutoa and she produced a receipt for payment in connection with the property on which the Whitaunui mill now stands from the Land Revenue office, dated March 1866, her husband and herself having at this time resided three years in the district.
