Councillor William Gardiner

Councillor William Gardiner has, expect for one year, been a member of the Mataura Borough Council since 1898. He was born in 1868, at Mataura, where he was educated, and was brought up to the engineering business by his late father. On the death of his father, he, with two brothers, founded the firm of W. Gardiner and Co., with which he has since been prominently connected. Mr Gardiner takes an active interest in the Mataura Athletic Society, of which he has been chairman since 1902. He was married, in 1889, to a daughter of the late Mr Robert Shanks, of Tuturau; but his wife died in 1890. In 1892, Mr Gardiner married a daughter of the late Mr John Powley, of Milton, and, of three sons born of this union, one has died.
