Just found a photo and Reference to my Great Grandfather George Boon.
I thought it proper to put it up on Eternal Vigilance.
From here.
They refer to him as ‘Lodgeman’… I can only assume that means he was a Mason.
That would explain why my beloved Grandfather John Steele Clark was also a Mason… as he married George’s Daughter Marie.
All this is speculation.
I remember George from when I was a Child.

“This is my Great Grandfather, George John Wedgewood Boon. He was mayor of Stratford from 1957- 1971. He is nephew of former Mayor Josephiah W Boon (1915-1917) They both had part in the Boon Brothers Ltd Sawmilling business. There’s more information in a book we have here at Puke Ariki called ‘Stratford, Shakespearean town under the mountain’
