Mr. Lawrence

Mr. Lawrence, the Senior Partner, was born in Leitrim, Ireland, in 1860, and educated at Mohill where he served three years in Mr. Robert Stratton's drapery warehouse. In 1882 he came to New Zealand in the “Weathersfield.” After a brief stay in Auckland he went on to Totara North and was under engagement to Mr. A. T. Knee till 1884 when he bought out Mr. Graham and joined Messrs. Lane and Brown in the business. Mr. Lawrence is fully occupied with his business and has no time for public affairs. He is, however, an enthusiastic cricketer, is associated with the Rechabites, and identifies himself with the Wesleyans. He is married to a daughter of Mr. Joseph Hare, senior, of Kaeo.
