Early lifePiper was born in 1836 at Hastings, Sussex, England. He went to sea as a youth.[1] On the outbreak of the Crimean War joined the storeship {{HMS|Apollo|1805|6}} and sailed to Malta. Once there he was transferred to the express boat Banshee, and then to {{HMS|Britannia|1820|6}}, the flagship of Admiral Dundas. Later Piper served on the paddle steamer Cyclops, which took the 28th Regiment from Malta to Gallipoli. Piper was injured and discharged from the navy. He joined the merchant service until 1860. He then became a storekeeper in Hastings until he migrated to New Zealand from London on 24 July 1872[2] on the ship Asterope arriving at Nelson on 19 October 1872.[3] Piper settled in Nelson, and ran the YMCA hostel on the corner or Bridge and Collingwood Street until 1883,[4] when he retired from business. PoliticsLocal bodyIn 1890 Piper was elected to the City Council and in April 1904 was elected mayor. He lost the mayoralty in April 1905 to Henry Baigent.[5] He stood again in 1906 and was re-elected until 1910. In the 1910 election he was defeated by Thomas Pettit.[6] ParliamentJoseph Shephard resigned on 15 April 1885 from the Waimea electorate when he was appointed to the Legislative Council. The resulting 1885 by-election, which was held on 3 June, was contested by six candidates: John Kerr (253 votes), W. N. Franklyn (250 votes), William White (94 votes), Christian Dencker (91 votes), W. Wastney (59 votes) and Jesse Piper (32 votes). Kerr was thus elected.[7][8]Piper unsuccessfully stood for Parliament in the City of Nelson electorate on several occasions. In the {{NZ election link|1884}}, he came second against Henry Levestam.[9] In the {{NZ election link|1887}}, the electorate was contested by Henry Levestam, Piper and WB Gibbs (a son of William Gibbs), and he came second.[10][11] In the {{NZ election link|1896}}, he came second against John Graham.[12] Piper was noted as a man of firm convictions.[1] Community servicePiper was a member of the Hospital Board for a time, a prominent member of the Recabite Order and interested in the temperance movement. He was a trustee of the local YMCA.[1] Piper was a Justice of the Peace (JP). He became a member of the Nelson Charitable Aid Board in 1890. In May 1890, members of the Nelson Charitable Aid Board, including Piper, made a surprise visit to the Stoke Industrial School. The school, also called St. Mary's Orphanage, was a privately run, Roman Catholic, reform school. The inspectors found two boys locked in solitary confinement cells. This discovery and other matters lead to the tabling of The Royal Commission Report on Stoke Industrial School, Nelson.[13] Piper testified under oath to the Royal Commission.[14] DeathPiper died at his Waimea Road residence in Nelson on 21 April 1920, aged 83,[1] and was buried at Wakapuaka Cemetery.[15] He was survived by his second wife.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|title=Obituary|url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=TC19200422.2.21 |accessdate=21 July 2011|newspaper=Colonist|volume=LXII |issue=15357 |date=22 April 1920|page=4}} {{s-start}}{{s-off}}{{s-bef | rows=2 | before = Henry Baigent}}{{s-ttl | rows = 2 | title = Mayor of Nelson |years = 1904–19052. ^Government Immigration, Timaru Herald, Volume XVII, Issue 791, 26 August 1872, Page 3 3. ^Arrival of the ship Asterope from London, Colonist, Volume XV, Issue 1574, 22 October 1872, Page 2 4. ^Untitled, Nelson Evening Mail, Volume XVIII, Issue 238, 10 October 1883, Page 2 5. ^Ex Mayors, page 42, The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Nelson, Marlborough & Westland Provincial Districts], The Cyclopedia Company, Limited, 1906, Christchurch 6. ^Page 2, Advertisements Column 3, Colonist, Volume LII, Issue 12779, 28 April 1910 7. ^{{cite news|title=Official Declaration of the Poll|url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TC18850620.2.17.2.1 |accessdate=22 July 2011|newspaper=Colonist|volume=XXVIII |issue=4170 |date=20 June 1885|page=1}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Summary Notes|url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TC18850425.2.6 |accessdate=22 July 2011|newspaper=Colonist|volume=XXVIII |issue=4122 |date=25 April 1885|page=3}} 9. ^{{cite web |title=The General Election, 1884 |url= http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&cl=search&d=AJHR1884-II.2.2.3.5 |publisher=National Library |accessdate=17 March 2012 |pages=1–3 |year=1884}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=The City Election |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=NEM18870919.2.13 |accessdate=21 April 2012|newspaper=Nelson Evening Mail |volume=XXI |issue=222 |date=19 September 1887|page=2}} 11. ^{{cite web |title=The General Election, 1887 |url= http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&cl=search&d=AJHR1887-II.2.1.9.13 |publisher=National Library |accessdate=25 February 2012 |page=2 |year=1887}} 12. ^{{cite news |title=The Nelson Election |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=NEM18961210.2.10.3 |accessdate=21 July 2011 |newspaper=Nelson Evening Mail |volume=XXX |issue=292 |date=10 December 1896 |page=2}} 13. ^1900 New Zealand, Stoke Industrial School, Nelson (Report of Royal Commission On, Together With Correspondence, Evidence and Appendix), Government Printer: Wellington. 14. ^Piper J. 1890, Testimony to the Stoke Industrial School Royal Commission, 26-28. 15. ^{{cite web |url=http://information.ncc.govt.nz/cgi-bin/cemetery/ceppncc?key=WKOG07069_A |title=Cemeteries database |date= |website= |publisher=Nelson City Council |accessdate=17 January 2015}} 1906–1910}}{{s-aft | after = {{nowrap|Henry Baigent}}}}{{s-aft | after = Thomas Pettit}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Piper, Jesse}} 11 : 1836 births|1920 deaths|People from Hastings|Royal Navy personnel of the Crimean War|English emigrants to New Zealand|Mayors of Nelson, New Zealand|Unsuccessful candidates in the 1884 New Zealand general election|Unsuccessful candidates in the 1887 New Zealand general election|Unsuccessful candidates in the 1896 New Zealand general election|Burials at Wakapuaka Cemetery|19th-century New Zealand politicians |
