James Nelson Williams

WILLIAMS, JAMES NELSON (1837-1915), a son of Bishop William Williams (q.v.) was born at Waimate North, and in the fifties went to Hawke's Bay to take up sheep-farming. He opened up much of the land around his station, Frimley, and was a pioneer of the fruit-growing and canning industry. Williams was prominently associated with the development of Napier, and was a member of the first harbour board (1875), the land board, the education board, the county council and the Agricultural and Pastoral association. He presented a park to the people of Hastings and a ward to the Napier hospital. He died on 11 Jun 1915.
