Biography
Carl (Charles) was born in 1818, the son of Johann Joachim Kelling, a registrar, and his wife, Louise Catharine Margarethe Harms.
With his brother, Fedor, Charles was appointed agent by Count Kuno zu Rantzau-Breitenburg, sponsor of the second party of German emigrants to Nelson. They were to manage seven allotments and care for the settlers. Charles emigrated as a cabin passenger with the settlers on the emigrant ship Skjold sailed from Hamburg on 21 April 1844.
The brothers took up seven 50 acre sections in Waimea East, naming the settlement Ranzau (Hope), but only three sections were suitable for agriculture. A substantial house with extensive outbuildings was built at Ranzau within the workers' village.
In 1850, Charles married Anna Buschl.[1]
Kelling later moved to the German settlement of Sarau (Upper Moutere) where he was a leader in the community serving as a member of the first committee for the Moutere educational district and the Moutere Road Board. He was elected to the Nelson Provincial Council as member for Moutere from 1862 to 1869, and for Waimea West from 1869 to 1873. He was made a Justice of the Peace in 1867.
In 1898 he sold his Moutere property and moved to Wakefield, where he died on 28 December 1898.[2][3]
Charles is buried in the Lutheran cemetery at Upper Moutere.[4]
