Ivor Arthur Te Puni A great-grandson of Chief Honiana Te Puni, who welcomed the settlers in the Tory when she arrived off Petone foreshore in 1840, Mr, I. A. Te Puni died on 29 May, aged 82. He spent some time in Taranaki, and went farming in Queen Charlotte Sound in 1927, moving to Picton in 1931. There he later was employed as a builder with the Department of Maori Affairs. Mr Te Puni made carving in traditional Maori style his life-time hobby, and did his best to persuade the younger generation to preserve the ancient arts. His home contained many valuable relics, and his advice on Maori matters was often sought. He was buried in the family cemetery at Petone.
