Mr. Charles Ziele
Mr. Charles Ziele , formerly Managing Director of Messrs McLeod Bros., Ltd., was born in Germany in 1840, and arrived in Melbourne by the ship “Europe,” in 1856. After five years' experience in Victoria, Mr. Ziele crossed the Tasman Sea and settled in Otago. He was for nine years on the Otago goldfields, and in 1870 he went to Dunedin, where he entered into business as a wholesale grocer and wine and spirit merchant, under the style of Messrs C. [gap — reason: illegible] and Co., in Rattray Street. In 1883 Mr. Ziele disposed of his business, and acquired a large interest in McLeod Brothers Limited, of which he became managing director. In 1868 Mr. Ziele married a daughter of the late Mr. William Fincher, a very early and well known settler at Bendigo, Victoria, and had two daughters and three sons. He died in March, 1902.
