He also acquired in 3 years a surprising grasp and mastery of political questions. He was certainly the best of the South Island farmer members-perhaps the best in New Zealand. He was a fine man."[5] DeathHe died on 21 September 1911 at Woodbury near Geraldine.[6] Notes1. ^{{cite book|title=The Cyclopedia of New Zealand : Canterbury Provincial District|year=1903 |url= http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Cyc03Cycl-t1-body1-d6-d90-d1.html#name-422984-mention |author=Cyclopedia Company Limited|accessdate=25 May 2010|location=Christchurch |chapter=Geraldine}} 2. ^The New Zealand Liberals: The Years of Power, 1891–1912 By David Hamer (1988, Auckland University Press, Auckland), p. 362 3. ^{{cite news|title=The General Election|url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=THD18931201.2.21 |accessdate=8 November 2011|work=Timaru Herald|volume=LV |issue=5828 |date=1 December 1893|page=3}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=The General Election, 1908 |url= http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&d=AJHR1909-II.2.5.2.12 |publisher=National Library |accessdate=14 April 2012|pages=19, 33 | year=1909}} 5. ^{{cite news |title= |accessdate= |work=Lyttelton Times |date= 22 September 1911 |page=}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Obituary |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=AG19110921.2.22 |accessdate=8 November 2011|work=Ashburton Guardian|volume=XXXI |issue=8477 |date=21 September 1911|page=5}} References
