Wilson, William

Wilson, William , Farmer, “Mount Pleasant,” One Tree Point, Kennington. Mr Wilson's father is a very old resident of the district, and the tree from which the district is named stood on his farm of ninety-five acres, which his son now holds. Mr W. Wilson was born at One Tree Point in 1865, educated at the Rimu school, and brought up on his father's farm. He has spent all his life on this farm, which is part of a much larger area selected by his father. Mr Wilson has been a member of Court Star of the South, Ancient Order of Foresters, Invercargill, for about seventeen years. He was married, in 1887, to a daughter of Mr Hugh Harris, farmer, Limehills, and has a family of four sons and four daughters.
