Married 2: Judith Tong

Went to Canada with his brother Albert. Dared not come home from Canada when his brother died so he moved to New Zealand. South African War Veteran Reg. No, 20786

 

Horace or Alf as he liked to be called lived very near to us in Whakatane and I mowed his lawns and worked in his garden as a boy.

Granddad trained as a gardener near Sheffield (Baronial Hall) At the age of 20 he went to the Boer War in South Africa with the Sherwood Rangers.

Canada was the next home for six years and he was employed on the telephone wire project across Canada. He was joined there by his brother (Albert)

 who died of a poisoned tooth. Alf was reluctant to go home because he was supposed to be looking after his brother and he feared his parent’s retribution.

 With three friends Alf sailed to Sydney, it was too hot there so they sailed on to New Zealand and arrived in 1908.

Alf found work as a Gardener in the City Parks of Rotorua and married Annie Delahunty in 1912. Annie’s father had come to the Thames gold fields

from Co. Tipperary via New York and married an Irish girl he met in New York. 

Alf and Annie moved to a farming district near Whakatane in 1914 and Alf was employed as a rabbiter to keep the numbers down as rabbits populations had

exploded with the development of farming in the area.

In 1922 they brought a small farm and remained there until 1929 when they moved to town.

Granddad returned to rabbiting and became an inspector supervising Gangs of rabbiters over vast areas. This entailed much traveling some of it on horses,

to the remote parts of the country. Annie died in 1933 of a stroke.

Alf retired  after the war and kept a very good garden and fruit orchard. He was a good trout fisherman and played bowls until near his death in 1963.
