Fallwell was highly edueated and an experienced chemist. la the absence of a doctor he gave a unique service to both Maori and pakeba. ' At any time and often under difficult ie* he would haeten to give relief to suffering humanity. He identified himself with any movement that made for the betterment of the district, and in «a#es ef crisis and emengency he stood bravely by his fellow pioneer*.
