Manawatu Standard 7 December 1905
Obituary.
Mr Job Vile.
The death of Mr Job Vile, a candidate for the Manawatu seat, which occurred suddenly at Marton last night, created quite a sensation when the news was circulated here last night. The deceased gentleman was well known in this land, and was thoroughly respected, as he deserved to be, for he proved himself to be a worthy colonist and conscientious public man. The late Mr Vile was born in 1845 at North Curry, Somersetshire, England, and came with his parents to New Zealand in 1856 in the ship Anne Wilson. The family, after a short residence at the Hutt, removed to Carterton, and by hard work the deceased was enabled, in 1873, to undertake the carrying trade on the Wellington-Wairarapa coach line. For some years he carried the mails between Pahiatua and Woodville. For the two years 1893-95 Mr Vile ran a line of coaches from Hawera to New Plymouth via Manaia, Opunake, and Parihaki This was a long run, the distance between the two centres, Hawera and New Plymouth, being nearly 100 miles. Mr Vile was the prime mover in 1892 in the formation of the borough of Pahiatua, and he was the first occupant of the Mayoral chair. He was also first chairman of the Pahiatua County Council, a position he occupied for two years (1888-90). Deceased devoted the greater portion of his life to the interests of the Wairarapa and surrounding district. He was a member of the first council of the borough of Masterton, and took an active part in the formation of that borough in 1876, was one of the first to make application to Mr Ballance, as Minister of Lands in the Stout-Vogel Government, under the special settlement regulations, and was, with others, successful in founding the Masterton- Mangahao block, which is now one of the most progressive settlements in the colony. The Parkville special settlement was also established through the untiring efforts of Mr Vile, and he occupied the post of secretary as long as it was necessary for anyone to fill that office. In 1867 Mr Vile married Miss Ellen Rayner of the Hutt, the children including (sic) Mr A. Vile, editor and proprietor of the Eketahuna Express. Mr Vile was elected to Parliament as the representative of Manawatu in 1902 and he has proved a faithful and conscientious member. There is no name that is better known, and whose possessor was more widely respected throughout the whole of the Pahiatua, Wairarapa and Manawatu counties than that of the late Mr Job Vile. Deceased was aged 60 years.
