Ward, William Edward
, Farmer, “Welton,” Drummond. Mr Ward's property contains 499 acres of free
hold, and is devoted to mixed farming. A specialty is made of poultryraising, and from 400 to 500 fowls of pure strains, chiefly of the White Leghorn variety, are kept. Complete sets of houses and pens have been erected, and a large number of eggs are incubated every season. Mr Ward, who is the eldest son of the late Mr Arthur Ward, was born at Woodend, Canterbury; but was educated principally at Riverton. He was brought up to farming at Drummond, and succeeded to “Welton” on the death of his father in 1902.
Mr. W. E. Ward.
