Paterson, William

Paterson, William , Boot and Shoemaker and Dealer, Main Street, Otautau. Mr Paterson's business was established in 1900, and is carried on in a wood and iron building, containing a shop and fitting-room, with a work room behind. Mr Paterson was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1868, and was brought, by his parents, to Port Chalmers, in 1871, by the ship “Margaret Galbraith.” He was educated in the public schools in Dunedin, where he also learned the bootmaking trade. After working for several years as a journeyman, Mr Paterson went to Australia in 1887, and resided there, chiefly in Adelaide and Sydney, for ten years. He returned to New Zealand, in 1897, and, after residing in Auckland for two years, removed to Invercargill, where he entered the employment of Messrs Kings-land and Son. As a volunteer, Mr Paterson served for six years in the Dunedin Navals; and, as a Freemason, he is attached to Lodge Wallace, No. 129, New Zealand Constitution. Mr Paterson was married, in 1901, to a daughter of Mr William Stevens, of Seaward Bush, and has one son.
