Huxford, George , “Ana-Tini.” Tokarahi. Mr. Huxford was born in 1857, in Devonshire, England, and was brought up to country life. He spent a few years at sea, before coming to Lyttelton by the ship “James Wishart,” in 1877. After engaging in mining for a few years in Lake Wakatipu district, he settled in 1888 at Kurow, where he was Government stock agent for seven years. In 1897 Mr. Huxford acquired his present property of 291 acres, under a lease in perpetuity; he works it as a mixed farm, and he has now made substantial improvements. The compound Maori word Ana-Tini means many caves, and is thoroughly descriptive of Mr. Huxford's property. Mr. Huxford is a member of the Order of Foresters at Kurow. He was married, in 1890, to a daughter of Mr. Thomas Anderson, J.P., of Little Awakino, Kurow, by whom he has had six children.
