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.

—Maida J. Minadeo

J.W. Heard graduated from West Point in 1883 and was assigned for three years to theArizona Territory as a young officer of the US Army 3rd Cavalry. It is known that he servedin at least two posts there, Fort Thomas and Fort Grant.

He collected a number of Native Americanitems while he was there, including the baskets.
