• Notes

  == Biography ==James was very successful in business, owning some large sheep and cattle stations on the East Coast and Hawke's Bay, and was involved in the development of the fruit-growing and canning, and the meat freezing industries, and others. Much is written on his ventures and involvement in the development of Hastings (NZ). He served on the County Council, Hospital Board, Napier Harbour Board, etc. Too much to write here. === Notes === : property : FRIMLEY === Burial === : Burial: :: Place: Havelock North Cemetery == Sources == *'Faith and Farming, the legacy of Henry Williams and William Williams' (a 720p family record), copyright Rex Evans, Evagean Publishing 1998.
