Arthur Morton Ollivier (23 March 1851 – 21 October 1897) was a businessman in Christchurch, New Zealand, a cricketer, mountaineer, and chess player. Mount Ollivier is named after him.

Early life

Ollivier was born in 1851 in Hammersmith, Middlesex, England.[1] He was the eighth son of John and Elizabeth Ollivier (née Morton).[2][3] The family with 10 children came to New Zealand on the John Taylor; the ship left London on 10 July 1853 and arrived in Lyttelton on 18 October.[4][5] He received his education at Christ's College from 1862 to 1865; he was pupil number 179.[3][7][6]

Sport

Cricket

Ollivier was a right-hand batsman.[7] In February 1867, he became a representative cricketer at age 15, when he played for Canterbury against Otago at Hagley Oval; the first cricket game ever that was played on that ground.[8][9] He was also playing when Canterbury first met Auckland in 1873; the year that the Auckland team was founded.[3]

He played against England in February 1877,[10] and against Australia in January 1878.[11]

Injury forced Ollivier to retire from the game in 1883. He became a trainer, administrator and selector of players.[3] In 1882, Edward Cephas John Stevens and Ollivier initiated the purchase of a parcel of land which became Lancaster Park; this was to overcome the problem of spectators not paying a fee at Hagley Oval.[3][12] In 1893, he selected the New Zealand team for the match against New South Wales.[3]

Mountaineering

Ollivier was known for his mountaineering exploits.{{fact|date=November 2018}} Mount Ollivier is named for him.

Other sports

Ollivier was a noted sports person in rugby and athletics, especially sprinting.[13] He was a successful chess player, was a founding member of the Canterbury Chess Club in 1877, and was dominion champion in 1888/89.[14][15]

Professional career

Ollivier was an accountant by profession.[13] His first employment was with D. Macpherson and Co. (which became Matheson's Agency). His next position was with J. T. Ford and Co.[16] He was in partnership with Trevor Grierson before becoming self-employed.[17]

Community involvement

Ollivier was a member of many organisations, and he was often on the committee. He was president of the Old Boys' Association of Christ's College from 1895 until his death.[3][13] He was deeply involved with the administration of cricket.[18]

Family, death and commemoration

Ollivier married Agnes Thomson (born ca 1849), a daughter of the politician William Thomson, on 20 September 1876 at St Mark's Church in Opawa.[16] They had three children:[1][19]

  • Keith Morton Ollivier (2 August 1880 – 12 September 1951)
  • Cecil Claude Morton Ollivier (2 July 1878 – 27 July 1935)
  • Muriel Morton Ollivier (19 April 1883 – ?)

Ollivier was unwell for several months before his death. He went to Castle Hill in the high country for a change of air, but returned even more ill.[20] He died at the early age of 46 on 21 October 1897 at home in the Christchurch suburb of Opawa. He was buried at Woolston Cemetery.[3][21] It was Frederick Wilding's proposal that resulted in the Canterbury Cricket Association erecting the gravestone for Ollivier; the inscription reads "Erected by the Cricketers of New Zealand".[3][22] He was buried on a Saturday (23 October), and out of respect to him, all cricket matches in Canterbury got cancelled on that day.[22]

Mount Ollivier near Aoraki / Mount Cook is named after Arthur Ollivier.[23] In 1939, the {{convert|1933|m|ft|abbr=on}} peak was Edmund Hillary's first major climb.[24] After Hillary's death in 2008, there was a proposal to rename the peak Mount Hillary as a memorial, a suggestion opposed by Arthur Ollivier's family.[23]
