Carter, Charles
Carter, Charles, Farmer, Pahautanui. Born in Merton, Surrey, in 1846, Mr. Carter arrived in New Zealand in 1850. He devoted his attention to sawmilling, with sheepfarming as an adjunct, until a few years ago, when he relinquished the sawmilling, and gave his whole mind to sheepfarming. Mr. Carter is a very old resident of the district, having resided at Pahautanui for some thirty-seven years. In 1882 he married a daughter of another very old colonist, Mr. T. H. Stace.
