Mr. Carson Henry Horman

Mr. Carson Henry Horman , the pioneer settler of Waikiwi, was born in Germany, where he was brought up to farming. He arrived in Lyttelton by the ship “Glentanner,” in 1857, but removed to Southland in 1858, and in the following year became the first settler in the Waikiwi district, where he took up 228 acres of heavy bush land. Mr Horman has been a member of the Waikiwi school committee. He was married, in 1858, to Miss Gohl, of Germany, but his wife died in 1895, leaving a family of ten sons and three daughters, of whom two daughters have died.
