WILLIAM JOHN HONEYFIELD

From: “N.Z Obituaries” Vol.19, page 1029

Obituary first published in the “Auckland Star” on Sat 6.5.1933

“Mr John Honeyfield

The death has occurred of Mr John Honeyfield (N.P.) at the age of 78 years.

The late Mr Honeyfield was the second son of Mr and Mrs William Honeyfield, his mother being a daughter of Richard Barrett, pioneer trader, whaler and native agent.

Mr Honeyfield was born at the home of the Barrett’s at Moturoa on the banks of the little Hongi Hongi lagoon, and was educated at M Schofields private school. His father died when he was quite young and he was then given home with his uncle, Mr James Honeyfield, who married a sister of his mother, at Tataramaika. Here he was thoroughly trained in methods of farming and stock raising, which occupations he followed for the greater part of his life. He was a successful farmer and retired some years ago to live at Moturoa near his birthplace. More recently he moved to Westown on account of his wife’s health. He came from good English yeoman stock on his father’s side and on his mother’s through his grandfather, was closely connected with the foundation of European settlement, not only in Taranaki but around the margin of Cook Strait.

For many years he was valued and respected member of the Taranaki Agricultural Society in which he took a keen interest. One of his hobbies in later life was the clearing, planting and fencing of the original burial ground of the whalers, first European settlers and Maoris at Waitapu, overlooking the sea at the bottom of Bayly Road on the northern side, just below the Blenheim oil bore. His grandparents and many relatives on his mother’s side were buried here. He worked on this place almost single handed for a long time and it was entirely a labour of love.

A very old friend of over 70 years standing said that he was always regarded as a honourable man, whose word was always his bond and who had lived a clean life.”

From “Cyclopaedia of Taranaki”

“W.J Honeyfield

Farmer, “Moturoa farm”, New Plymouth

Mr Honeyfield’s pleasant property contains 100 acres and the situation of the homestead is a charming one commanding a splendid view of the surrounding country. The farm produce is principally supplied to shipping, Mr Honeyfield having held contracts for this for the past 14 years.

He was born in New Plymouth in 1856 and educated privately. He was 13 years his uncle a well kn0wn settler and finally started his own business.

Mr Honeyfield has shown what perseverance and energy properly directed can do and may be justly regarded as a type of the successful colonist. He has taken considerable interest in public matters and is a member of most of the local societies.”
