McCulloch, John

McCulloch, John , Farmer, “Fern Cliff,” Ngapara. Mr. McCulloch was born in 1857, in Wigtownshire, Scotland, and arrived at Port Chalmers by the ship “William Davie,” in 1889. He found employment for three years at Shag Valley before settling in the Oamaru district in 1875. In 1880 he commenced cropping and contracting, and ten years later leased “Fern Cliff,” a property of 453 acres, which he purchased after seven years, and now carries on mixed farming. The part of the residence used as a kitchen was at one time a shepherd's hut, and is said to have been the first house built in the Ngapara district. Mr. McCulloch has served on the Ngapara school committee, of which he has been chairman for seven years; and as a Freemason he is attached to Lodge Ngapara. No. 68, New Zealand Constitution. He was married, in 1887, to a daughter of Mr. page 496 Daniel Grant, Papakaio, and has four sons and four daughters.
