HENRY HOLLAND. One of the oldest and most respected residents of Bunnythorpe, Mr Henry Holland, died on Thursday after a long illness. Mr Holland was (says the " Manawatu Times ") born in Alton, Hampshire in 1834, and came out to Nelson with his parents in the ship Bolton in 1842. With his father he planted the first hop-garden in the Nelson Provincial District, at Stoke. He married at Nelson Miss Lydia Hodgkinson, the daughter of an old resident, and when a family began to add to the responsibilities of married life, the young couple pluckily decided to go into the backblocks, and despite the nonexistence of roads, they made their way through a wilderness of ferns, across rivers and streams, to Motupiko, where farming was successfully carried on, despite numerous difficulties, including the absence of timber for building, except what was hand-sawn, and the next to impossibility of getting produce to market. In 1870 the family settled in Fielding, and afterwards in Bunnythorpe, where they have since resided.

Mr Holland leaves a widow, four sons, six daughters and twenty-eight grandchildren.
