The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Otago & Southland Provincial Districts]

Golden, Henry

Golden, Henry , Farmer, Pine Bush. Mr Golden was born in 1838, in Ireland, where he was brought up to farming. In 1857 he landed in Victoria, and, four years later, came to New Zealand, intending to go to the Gabriel's Gully goldfield. He changed his mind, however, and remained in Southland, where he entered the service of a runholder. For about six years Mr Golden had a mill contract in the district, between Mataura and Waimahaka, and in 1870 he acquired the first portion of his freehold at Pine Bush. Mr Golden is a member of the Tci Toi Road Board, was for a time a member of the Fortrose Licensing Committee, and is a member of the committee of the Pine Bush school. He was married, in 1870, to a daughter of the late Mr John McLean, of Loch Lomond, and has two sons and eight daughters.
