| Notes |
- William (Tim) Edinborough Tankersley, Tim was born at Nurse Spellman's Nursing home in Masterton on 30 June 1907, son of William and Lizzie (nee Chamberlain) Tankersley. Tim attended Wairarapa District High School until he was 16 when due to the death of his father he had to take over running "Glenside," the family farm. This was in 1923.
He was married in 1935 to Winifred Audrey Reynolds.
Tim had an extensive workshop, and many a time people round the district had called on him for help when they had mechanical problems.
Tim was involved in the construction of the Maraekakaho School baths, the Mangatahi School tennis courts, and extensions and renovations to the Maraekakaho Hall and various other local amenities.
Tim was an advisory member of the Young Farmers club and organised ploughing and shearing competitions. He was a keen member of the Poporangi Rifle club and the Maraekakaho Miniature Rifle Club and was a member of a local team that won a Hawke's Bay rifle shooting competition. Tim also played indoor bowls.
Up until his death on Sunday 27 September 1987, at age 80, Tim was an active farmer and still drove around the farm in his diesel truck each day feeding the Turkeys and cattle. It was said at the time of his death that Tim was the last of his age group to farm in the area. Wyn had died on 1 September 1987 just under four weeks before Tim.
Tim and Wyn had four children Robert, Janice, Patricia, and Raewyn. At the time of Tim's death Robert was leasing and farming part of "Glenside."
Mr tankersley was survived by a son, Robert Edinburgh Tankersley, a member of the Founders' Society, three daughters and nine grandchildren.
Thanks to Helen Tankersley for these notes.
