  OBITUARY MR GEO. HAYLOCK On Monday evening a very old identity old identity of the Peninsula passed away suddenly at his residence, Akaroa, in the person of Mr Geo. Haylock. Deceased was in his seventy-eighth year. He had enjoyed good health till about a month ago, when he complained of choking sensations, and was attended to by Dr McReddie, who said his heart was weak. However, Mr Haylock went about as usual, and walked down on Monday afternoon to get the daily paper. Mrs Haylock left him for about ten minutes that evening. He seemed perfectly well, but when she returned she found him quite dead. The Haylocks are of an Essex family. The Ashdon Hall Farm has been in the possession of the family for years, and deceased was born there on August 21, 1833. In 1850 his father, who was then a widower, came out with his family in the sailing ship Monarch, and landed in Lyttelton on April 6, 1850, coming straight on to Akaroa. Mr Haylock, senr., and family lived for two years in a house on the section now owned by Mr L. J. Vangioni. After living there two years he moved d up the Grehan Valley, where he had a flour mill. Mr Gorge Haylock, speaking to us some time ago about the early days, spoke strongly about the carelessness of some of the early settlers in not seeing they had correct deeds to their properties, and said many trusting people lost money in this way. His father, who came out with letters of introduction from Lord Mansfield to Sir George Grey, had much trouble in getting land when he came here. He had promises from Sir George Grey of land at £1 per acre if the Canterbury Land Association was not formed in three months' time. He was also promised excellent terms by Mr Godley. In the end he decided not to buy from the Government, but purchased from private persons. Ho bought a section in Akaroa as well as the Heads property, for which he had title deeds, but the Grehan Valley property had no title deeds to it. At his father's death George Haylock took over the mill at Grehan Valley. The tale of the Monarch's trip is told in "The Stories of Banks Peninsula," where mention is made of the Grehan mill run by Mr Haylock. This was the first flour mill imported to Canterbury, it being the habit to ground the flour in hand mills. All the wheat from the Canterbury Plains used to come down to Akaroa to be ground in Mr Haylock's mill, and sent back to the consumers there. However, though it had such a good start, difficulties began to surround the mill. Trade fluctuated, and in the end Mr Geo Haylock had to abandon the business. He then carried on business as a wheelwright work for which he bad an absolute genius. Whenever any machinery went wrong or any clock was out of order, Peninsula people used at once to consult Mr George Haylock, who repaired everything that was brought to him. He carried on this work till about ten years ago, since when he has only done a few odd jobs. Mr Haylock was also a keen gardener having a thorough knowledge of practical gardening. Being seventeen years of age when the Monarch came to New Zealand, Mr Haylock had a good knowledge of the early days, and he was very interesting indeed to talk to, keeping a clear memory of the old limes. In 1851 Mr Haylock married the youngest daughter of Dr. Watkins. He leaves a wife and fourteen children, six sons and eight daughters. He was buried by the Rev. A. H. Julius in the Church of England cemetery on Wednesday, there being a large attendance at the funeral. Source: Akaroa Mail and Banks Peninsula Advertiser, 3 February 1911, Page 2.
