| Garland William Woon | WOON, GARLAND WILLIAM (1831-95), the son of William Woon (q.v.) was born at Nukualofa, Tonga, and came to New Zealand with his parents in 1834. He was educated at the mission school at Waimate (under R. Taylor, q.v.), and in 1846 was apprenticed to Williamson and Wilson, publishers of the New Zealander (Auckland). Completing his term (1849) he then joined the family at Waimate (Taranaki), and in 1850 his father set him up as a printer in New Plymouth. In 1852 he married Ann, daughter of William George (Helston, Cornwall). In partnership with W. Collins, Woon established the Taranaki Herald (4 Aug 1852). Wicksteed was the first editor. In 1854 Collins withdrew from the paper, Woon carrying on until 1867, when losses in the post-war depression compelled him to sell out to Henry Weston. His later editors were Crompton, C. W. Richmond, J. C. Richmond, Arthur Atkinson and R. Pheney. Woon had a good knowledge of Maori and many native friends, and so was often able to give valuable intelligence of Maori affairs. For some time he practised as a native interpreter and land purchase officer. In 1868 he went to the Thames diggings, but having no luck was appointed in 1874 clerk in the provincial works department. Later he was clerk and interpreter to the R.M. at Wanganui, where he retired (1892) and died (6 Jun 1895). Woon (p); Taranaki Herald, 1852-57 and Jubilee issue, 4 Aug 1892 | Volume 2, page 269 |
| William Woon | WOON, WILLIAM (1803-58) was born at Truro, Cornwall. As a boy he was apprenticed to the printing trade. Showing evidence of preaching ability, he became a local preacher, and in 1830 he was accepted for the Methodist ministry and appointed to the Friendly Islands mission. In Aug he sailed with James Watkin and Peter Turner in the ship Lloyds, which arrived at Bay of Islands in Jan 1831. After a few weeks at Mangungu they sailed for the Friendly Islands and disembarked at Nukualofa, Tongatabu. Woon's work was mainly in connection with the translation and printing of the scriptures in Tongan. In 1833 he resigned and returned to Mangungu (Jan 1834). A new printing press having just arrived from England, Woon set it going and gave practical assistance to John Hobbs. In Nov 1834 he was appointed to open a mission in the Waikato. He went to Kawhia, and was soon joined by John Whiteley and James Wallis in adjacent stations. In Feb 1836 all were withdrawn by direction of the London committee, and Woon was sent to Manukau and soon afterwards to assist Hobbs and to supervise the printing press. He remained at Hokianga for 10 years and did a vast amount of printing, including a Harmony of the Gospels (1836), primers for school children, hymn books, tracts and many other Maori publications. On 13 Feb 1840 he witnessed the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi at Hokianga. In Heke's war he ministered to wounded rebels. In Jan 1846 Governor Grey insisted on the removal of white settlers to Auckland for safety and Woon and his family were among the refugees taken from Hokianga in the Government brig Victoria. In 1846 Woon was sent to south Taranaki to minister to the Ngati-Ruanui and Taranaki tribes, the former perhaps the most turbulent and hostile in the North Island. Stationed at Heretoa, Woon carried on his work amongst them until 1853. During this time his rush house was burnt down and all his possessions were destroyed. 'Te Wunu' was a man of gigantic stature and was everywhere admired by the Maori for his physique and his vocal powers. His health necessitated his superannuation in 1854, and he retired to Wanganui, where he acted as postmaster and ministered to the military and the civil population. He died on 22 Sep 1858. M.A.R.P.
