Death

FEILDEN, GEOFFRY NELSON, Farmer, Dulas Farm, Waitohi Flat. Mr. Feilden is the youngest son of the late Lieutenant-Colonel Feilden, of Dulas Court, Hereford-shire, and the 44th Essex Regiment. He was born in Lancashire in 1865, and was educated at Marlborough and Oxford. It was at first intended that he should take holy orders, but preferring a colonial life, he came to New Zealand in 1887, and went as cadet on Messrs Chamberlian Brothers' farm, “Waireka,” near Malvern Hills. He was afterwards at “Raincliff,” Fairlie, and obtained a thorough insight into colonial farming life during the seven years he was at these two stations. Mr. Feilden visited the Old Country in 1893, and returned to the colony the following year, when he purchased Dulas Farm, on which he has grown oats, which have threshed ninety-six bushels to the acre. The grounds are laid out in a very artistic manner. Mr. Feilden is a member of the Temuka Road Board, and also lieutenant in the Temuka Rifles. In 1895, he married Miss Raymond, daughter of Mr. F. B. Raymond, surveyor, and sister of Mr. S. G. Raymond, solicitor, Timaru.
