John Edward (Ned) Shewry : ウィキペディア英語版
John Edward (Ned) Shewry

John Edward (Ned) Shewry (1889 – 1 August 1962), was a world champion woodchopper from New Zealand. Born in Stratford, New Zealand, he was one of 11 children of John and Elizabeth Shewry. The Shewrys were early settlers in Tahora in the Eastern Taranaki hill country, where they set to clearing a large block of land on Moki Road for pasture between the Makino and Waitaanga forests. The felling of timber dominated the lives of the Shewry family, and growing up in this setting clearly left a lasting impression on the young John Edward.
==Early life==
At the age of 17, he took up farming with his older brother Archie on the block next-door, and set to work clearing the land with “just a couple of axes, a saw and a packet of matches".〔Hoskin, Sorrel (9 December 2005) ( "A Chip off the Old Block - Ned Shewry" ). Puke Ariki Article. Retrieved 23 November 2011〕 He quickly developed good skills and technique with an axe, and soon caught the eye of the elder local bushman Hughie McLeod, who entered Shewry in the chopping events at the 1909 Whangamomona sports day.
After a terrible first chop, Shewry quickly picked up his act, and returned the next year to win the local competition. In 1911 he won in Eltham, the “Mecca of axemen”, and carried on his winning streak at a number of other chopping events around Taranaki and the King Country.
