Cuthbertson, Thomas

Cuthbertson, Thomas , Farmer, Hilderthorpe. Mr. Cuthbertson leases 337 acres of land from his mother, the widow of the late Mr. Robert Cuthbertson, one of the early settlers, who arrived in the ship “Dudbrook,” in 1863. Mr Thomas Cuthbertson was born in York, England, in 1862, and accompanied his parents to the colony. He commenced to learn the trade of a blacksmith in Dunedin, but in 1877 he went to England, where he gained further experience at his trade in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, and returned to the colony in 1883. For two years he followed various occupations till he and his brother leased their mother's property; but since 1902, Mr. Cuthbertson has worked the farm on his own account. As a Forester he is a member of Court Pride of Oamaru. Mr. Cuthbertson has been a member of the Pukeuri school committee since 1894, and has acted as its chairman. He was married, in 1883, in London, to a daughter of Captain Thomas Johns, who was lost at sea off Penzance, Cornwall; and has had four sons and two daughters, who are all alive except one son.
