Milne, T. W.
Milne, T. W., General Storekeeper, Post-office Store Kaitawa. Bankers, Bank of New Zealand Mr. Milne established himself in Kaitawa in 1891, but his hopes concerning the district have not been realized, in consequence of the bridge over the Tiramea river— some two or three miles to the north of Kaitawa township—diverting the Makuri traffic. Mr. Milne was born in Aberdeen, and left in 1861 for the Victorian goldfields. Prior to settling in Kaitawa he lived some twelve years at Wright's bush, almost twelve miles from Invercargill, and before that for five years in Groper's Bush about twelve miles to the west.
