Scott, Alexander, Farmer, “Wai-iti,” East Eyreton. Mr. Scott was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1849, and brought up to country life. He was farming for some time on his own account in his native place. In 1877 he came to Port Chalmers by the ship “Norval,” and settled for about three years on Kaiapoi Island. About 1880 Mr. Scott removed to the Eyreton district, with which he has been since identified. His farm is 396 acres in extent, and he also owns nintey-three acres at Drain Road, Southbrook. For some years Mr. Scott served as a member of the Eyreton school committee. He was married, in 1871, to a daughter of the late Mr. J. Scott, of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This lady died in 1901, leaving two daughters and one son. After his bereavement Mr. Scott paid a visit to his native land.
