Mr. James Waugh, Manager of Mr. James Gear's farm at Te Horo, was born in 1859 in Roxburghshire, Scotland, where he was educated. Arriving in Port Chalmers in 1881, per ship “Oamaru,” Mr. Waugh was employed as a shepherd for three years on Mr. Riddiford's station on the East Coast, where there were 34,000 sheep and 5000 head of cattle. After twelve months at Featherston he came to Te Horo to take charge of Mr. Gear's farm, which has been greatly improved under his energetic management, the stock carried having since been increased from 800 to 10,000 sheep. In 1886 Mr. Waugh was married to Miss Urquhart, of Inverness, and has five sons and a daughter.
