The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Wellington Provincial District]

Stubbing, Frank

Stubbing, Frank, Wool-scourer and Sheepfarmer, Karioi. Mr. Stubbing, who was born in Invernesshire, accompanied his parents to New Zealand, landing in Auckland, where he passed his early years. He came to Karioi in 1882, and carried out several Government contracts, subsequently managing a store for a number of years. The wool-scouring works are situated on the banks of the Tokiahura Stream, where there is an abundant supply of soft water. Mr. Stubbing is able to put through about twenty-five bales per day, the output of the surrounding district—some 1200 bales—passing through his works. His farm contaips 1500 acres, and carries a very robust, healthy flock of sheep, and a number of shorthorn cattle. Mr. Stubbing is married, and has three sons and two daughters.
