Anderson, Frank Lionel, Sheepfarmer, “Makuri Iti,” Makuri, about seventeen miles from Pahiatua. Mr. Anderson, who is the only son of Captain S. C. Anderson, of the Defence Department, Wellington, was born in Wellington in 1870, and educated partly at the Wellington and the Wanganui College. On leaving school he was for some years in the ironmongery business, first with Mr. William Dawson and afterwards with Messrs. John Duthie and Co. Having taken a liking for a farming life, he came to Pahiatua in 1890 and took up the present property of 640 acres, which was at that time standing bush. In 1896 he had 400 acres cleared, and now turns his attention to breeding Romney-Lincoln sheep. He is chairman of the Makuri School Committee. In local matters he is always to the fore, and has been the prime mover in establishing the local social functions.
