Mr. Frederick Ernest Fairburn was born in Waimate, Bay of Islands, in 1861, and is a son of the late Mr. R. A. Fairburn. He was educated at the Parnell Grammar School, then spent twelve years in survey work, first with his father and afterwards under Mr. W. H. Wheeler, Government surveyor. Mr. Fairburn established himself in business as a storekeeper and gum buyer at Otoroa, and succeeded in working up a very fair connection.
