Mr. Charles Augustus La Roche

Mr. Charles Augustus La Roche, Clerk and Draughtsman to the Auckland Harbour Board, was born in Auckland in 1866, and is a son of Mr. Charles La Roche, a well-known Auckland resident. Educated at St. David's School, under Mr. John Edwards (now of Mangere), and finally at the Auckland College and Grammar School, Mr. La Roche joined the staff of the Harbour Board as a cadet in 1882, and seven years later was promoted to his present position. An ardent footballer, Mr. La Roche has on several occasions travelled with the Auckland representative teams on their tours through the Colony. He is a past master of the Remuera Masonic Lodge, No. 1710. In 1887 Mr. La Roche was married to Miss Rowley, daughter of Mr. Thomas Rowley, of Auckland, and has two children.
