Majendie, Frank Anson, Farmer, Ohariu Valley. A native of Staffordshire, England, where he was born in 1843, Mr. Majendie came to the Colony, per ship “Rangitoto,” in 1866. In the following year he settled in the Valley, in which he has since lived, with the exception of five years in Sydney and Hawkes Bay. Mr. Majendie has been prominent in local politics: as a member of the Hutt County Council, chairman of the Ohariu Valley School Committee, president of the New Zealand Counties Association—of which he was one of the promoters—and member of the United District Hospital Board, representing Horowhenua County, he has done good service. He has also taken interest in the Wellington Agricultural and Pastoral Association, and as an exhibitor of horses and dogs he has carried off prizes. Mr. Majendie was married in 1890 to the widow of the late Mr. William France, of Ohariu Valley.
