Rayne, William
Rayne, William , General Storekeeper, Duntroon. This business was established by Mr. Robert McGillivray and was purchased by the present proprietor on the 20th of January, 1902. The premises consist of a wood and iron building, containing a shop and office with store behind, and the stock consists of grocery, drapery, hardware, produce, and other goods. Delivery carts visit all parts of the district within a radius of about twelve miles. Mr. Rayne's private residence is on the site of the original Duntroon Hotel, and has an acre of freehold land attached. A large stone stable and loft on the premises were often used in the early days for church services before any other buildings were erected in the district.
