Biography
Henry Crann arrived in New Plymouth with his parents aboard the Timandra in 1842. He became a farmer in the Grey Block. He became a Private in the Taranaki Volunteers, serving during the Taranaki War. In August 1860, he went in search of his bullocks which had strayed a short distance from the town lines along Avenue Road, Welbourn, and was shot by Maoris (sic) concealed in the skirts of the forest. [1] His death was a warning to all not to go beyond the lines without company. [2] He was buried at St Mary's Anglican church (now Taranaki Cathedral) and his memorial stone was erected by the NZ Government in 1934 as a war grave.[3]
