Maori Artifacts Collected by Rev. Alfred FairbrotherLots 191-195, 197, 199, 202, 203
For an indepth history of Rev. Fairbrother, see R.F. Keam’s Dissolving Dream, 2004.
In the 1880s my great-grandfather, Rev. Alfred Fairbrother, was living in New Zealand onexpedition with the Baptist church to establish New Zealand’s first Baptist missionary. Helived in a small hand-made hut amongst a Maori tribe near Mt. Tarawera.
In 1886, the eruption of the volcano “Mt. Tarawera” destroyed the small Maori village.When my great-grandfather’s time there was coming to a close, the chief of the tribebestowed upon him these beautiful authentic hand-carved idols, weapons, and tools.
Now over 100 years later, these artifacts have been passed down to me. As I have nodescendants to pass them on to, I would like someone to appreciate and enjoy thesewonderful pieces of history that stand before you.
