Tom Boswell Williams

WILLIAMS, TOM BOSWELL (1851-1931), born in Newport, Monmouthshire, came to Victoria in 1852 with his parents and to New Zealand in 1862.

Williams was elected to the Wanganui borough council in 1885 and was some years mayor (1913-15 and 1920-24). He was a member of the hospital board, the river trust, and the hydro-electric league, chairman of the patriotic association and repatriation committee, president of the chamber of commerce and a director of the Wanganui Herald. He was a past master of freemasons. His death occurred on 16 Jun 1931.
