years ago. He was born at Inveroy, Inverness, Scotland, in 1843, and was brought up on a farm. In 1862 he landed in Launceston, Tasmania, and after two years spent there, came to New Zealand and worked on a farm in the Invercargill district. On the breaking out of the diggings at Hokitika he went there, but soon returned to Southland, where he worked on farms in the Wallacetown and Oteramika districts, and on Glenure station. He then bought his present farm. Mr Brown married, in 1880, a daughter of Mr James Buchanan, of Gorge Road, and has three sons and three daughters. He has been a member of the local school committee for twenty years and served two or three years on the Oteramika Road Board.
