The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

Mr. John Munro Fraser

Mr. John Munro Fraser, the other Partner, and Manager of the firm's Hawera Branch, was born in Ross-shire, Scotland, and came to New Zealand in 1870 by the ship “Otago.” On his arrival at Dunedin he went up country to gain experience, but shortly afterwards joined the Government service. He received the appointment of Private Secretary to Sir Donald McLean, and remained with that gentleman until 1876. Mr. Fraser then left the Government service and started as a native agent in Hawke's Bay, a calling which he still follows, although a considerable portion of his time is taken up in looking after the interests of the firm at Hawera. He joined his present partner on the initiation of the Auckland business.
