Inch, William John

Inch, William John, Farmer, Styx. Mr. Inch is a native of Cornwall, England, and came to New Zealand with his parents in the sailing ship “Crusader,” in 1874. The family first settled at Oxford, where Mr. Inch, senior, was engaged on railway work on the Cust-to-Oxford line; after which he took up land there and farmed it, until his death in 1899. Mr. W. J. Inch purchased his present farm of fourteen acres of first-class loamy land in 1892, and has since cultivated it successfully, growing cereal and root crops in rotation. He also rents ten acres of excellent grazing land. Mr. Inch is married and has four children.
