HOPEHILL. The death of another pioneer settler has to be recorded— Mr James Allan, of Hopehill, Taieri, having diedat his residence on Sunday morning at the comparatively early age of 67. Ifc isbut a few months ago since we recorded the death of his aged mother ; so thatthe news published by us yesterday morning of Mr Allan'sdeath came quite as a surprise to his many friends. Mr James Allan came to New Zealand as a young man of 24, arriving inNelsonwith his father and other members of the family in 1842. Some six yearslater the family removed to Ofcago, and the deceased commenced business inDanedin in partnership with Mr JamesSmith, now of Greenfield, as storekeepers and bakers, the site selected beingthat now known as Hardies corner, but long famous as Bullen s corner. At thattime the population was limited, and most of the settlers about Danedin werecontent with home-made bread. The partners, herefore, finding that there wasbut limited scope for their ..energy, disposed of the business and tamed theirattention to agricultural and pastoral pursuits, and Borne 13,000 acres of landin the Tokomairiro district were leased. The advancing tide of settlement soondeprived the partners of most of their run. Meantime Mr Allan purchased for himself the freehold of some land at BastTaieri, where the otbefcrnembars of his family had settled. Here he took up hisresidence with his young and growiog family, and heie he remained up to thetime of his death. The freehold was added to from time to time until a fewyears ago the area was 5000 acres. Mr Allan'ssuccess as a farmer and breeder of stock was considerable, and his reputationwas gained after many a keen contest in the show ring. Of late years he metwith some reverses, but it cannot be said that these were due to any want ofknowledge or painstaking effort on his part. Mr Allanalways took considerable interest m public affairs, aud took his full share ofduties which fall to the lot of public-spirited and eaergetic colonists. In1870 he was elected, unopposed, for a vacancy in the representation of theTaieri in the Provincial Council, and continued with Mr Donald Reid and thelate Mr James Shand to represent thedistrict until the abolition of provinces. He .vas then elected a member of theTaieri County Council, and sat for several years. He took an active part inroad board and school matters, and in every way assish-d in evry * public moremtutfor the advancement of the district. The respect in which he was held by his'fellow se.ttlers is abundantly shown by the fact cf bu being elected by them tothe many public positions which he htld. He was esteemed by all who knew him asa man of sterling worth, ever ready, when a ked, to give advice or assistance.He leaves a widow aud six sous aud four daughters, aJI grown up.
