Leggins, A. E.
Leggins, A. E., Farmer, “Orautoha,” Raetihi. Born in Dunedin in 1866, and educated at the high school, Mr. Leggins was brought up to a farming life. He took up his present holding of 400 acres, which was then all dense bush, in 1893, and has worked hard in making a home for himself. He has now 230 acres in grass, carrying over three sheep to the acre, with a number of cattle. Mr. Leggins has always taken an active part in athletic sports, and is captain of the Raetihi Cricket Club. He is a staunch supporter of the Good Templars' Lodge of the same place.
