Mr. William Aitkin was born in Melbourne, where he was educated and passed his early years in his father's business. He arrived in New Zealand in 1889 to manage “Gleniffer,” and made himself very popular. Mr. Aitkin was president of the Ngapara Rifle Club. a member of the Ngapara Jockey Club, and an active member of the North Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Association. After the death of Mr. W. Aitkin, in 1902, “Gleniffer” was sold, and Mr. R. Aitkin went to reside in Sydney, New South Wales.
