Maori Artifacts Collected by Rev. Alfred Fairbrother

Lots 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 on
expedition with the Baptist church to establish New Zealand’s first Baptist missionary. He
lived 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 tribe
bestowed 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 no
descendants to pass them on to, I would like someone to appreciate and enjoy these
wonderful pieces of history that stand before you.
—Maida J. Minadeo

William Albert Kelly (1850-1930)

Lots 328-331, 335, 337, 342-345

When in 1884 Civil Government was accorded Alaska, Mr. Kelly was the first
commissioned teacher sent out by the Bureau of Education, Washington, D.C. For ten
years he served as the Supervisor of Government Schools. For fourteen years he was
superintendant of a training school at Sitka, Alaska. In 1892, under President Harrison’s
administration, he served as United States Commissioner for the Southern District of
Alaska.

Heard Family
Lots 361, 362, 412, 428-430, 433-435

These Apache baskets were collected by Gen. John W. Heard (1860-1922), inherited by
his youngest son, Gen. Townsend Heard, and have been in the family from the late 19th
century until now. Gen. T. Heard left them to his wife, Rose Loring Heard, and they are
being sold by her estate.

J.W. Heard graduated from West Point in 1883 and was assigned for three years to the
Arizona Territory as a young officer of the US Army 3rd Cavalry. It is known that he served
in at least two posts there, Fort Thomas and Fort Grant. From 1886 to about 1887 he
was posted on several frontier forts along the Rio Grande in western Texas, including Fort
Davis, Fort Ringgold, and Fort Sam Houston. He collected a number of Native American
items while he was there, including the baskets.

Gen. Heard subsequently had a distinguished military career—he was awarded the
Congressional Medal of Honor for valor in Cuba as an officer in the Spanish-American
War, and became a general officer In WWI.

1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and
Skinner, Inc. below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed
