Scarrow, C. D., Farmer, “Konini,” Raetihi. The son of an old settler, who landed in New Zealand in 1841, served through the Maori war, and died at Sandon in 1894 at the age of eighty-four, Mr. Scarrow was born in 1861 at the Hutt. In 1892 he went to the Hunterville District, where he occupied land on the Watershed Road, and a year later he took up his present farm of 300 acres, which was covered with dense bush. Over seventy acres have been laid down in the best mixture of grasses, on which a small herd of well-bred shorthorn cattle are depastured. Mr. Scarrow takes a lively interest in sport, and is a member of the local cricket club. He served for eight years in the Rangitikei Cavalry as trumpeter, and is a member of the Raetihi School Committee. In 1890 Mr. Scarrow married Miss McLean, of Invercargill, and has two sons and two daughters.
