TABLET UNVEILED.
PIONEERS HONOURED.
A tablet to the memory of the late Colonel Theodore M. Haultain and Mrs. Haultain was unveiled in St. Matthias 9 Church, Panmure, on Sunday morning by Archdeacon G. Mac Murray. Colonel Haultain, who was a pioneer settler in New Zealand, was closely associated with the Anglican Church in the early days.
Colonel Haultain, who was born in 1817, passed through Sandhurst and entered the army in 1834. He served with the forces in India for ten years, being engaged in active service in 1842 and 1843, before he retired from the Imperial Army in 1856. He then came to New Zealand to take charge of a military unit, assuming command of the 2nd Waikato Regiment at the Battle of Orakau, in 1869, and fighting against Te Kooti in 1872. Later he became Minister of Defence.
Colonel Haultain was a member of the first General Synod, and signed the constitution of the New Zealand Church in 1857. He was lay diocesan nominator for Auckland and chairman of the committee of the Diocesan Synod and the Auckland College Council. He was also closely connected with St. John's College.
