McKenzie, Donald

McKenzie, Donald, Farmer, Myrtle Farm, Dreyerton, Mr. McKenzie is a well-known and respected settler. Born in 1836 in Ross-shire, Scotland, where he was educated, Mr. McKenzie left for the Antipodes in 1860 by the ship “British Trident.” After ten years in New South Wales, he came to New Zealand and settled in the Wairarapa in 1871. For some time he was engaged in contracting, but afterwards took up 100 acres of land and became a farmer. His sons, who have added to the property, have taken over the management of the farm. Mr. McKenzie has eight children, two of his daughters being married.
