NELSON CENTENARIAN
95 Years Without Illness (By Telegraph—Press Association.) NELSON, April 3. Mr. Frederick Faulkner, of Treton Park, Wakefield, who attained his hundredth birthday on Friday last, was congratulated by a large gathering of residents. Arriving in New Zealand in 1855, his father took up land at Waihola, south of Dunedin, eventually settling at Wakefield, and there his son, now a centenarian, has lived for 57 years. He has had no serious illness since he was five years old, when he had smallpox. He well remembers the doctor’s remark that if he pulled through he would live till a hundred.
