John Edward Elam

ELAM, JOHN EDWARD (1823-88) was born at Leeds, England, educated there and qualified M.D. He had already made a competence at his profession when he came to New Zealand in the early sixties. He did not practise here but for 25 years he lived at West Tamaki. On his death (on 25 Jun 1888) Dr Elam left a legacy valued at about £6,500 for the establishment in Auckland of a school of art and design where pupils should be taught free of charge.
