Hearn, Henry

Hearn, Henry, Farmer, Pine Villa Farm, Rangitata Island. Mr. Hearn was born at Wendover, near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, in 1852, and was brought up to farming pursuits, but worked for two years in a cement mill in Warwickshire. He came to Lyttelton by the ship “Crusader” in 1874, and worked for Mr. H. Engelbrecht, Mr. Thomas Ellis, at Ashley Gorge, and for the late Mr. J. G. Ruddenklau, and started a station at Ealing for the latter gentleman, afterwards managing his Rangitata Island property. In 1893 Mr. Hearn leased a farm of 2000 acres which he is occupying. He is a member of the local school committee, and also has charge of the post office. Mr. Hearn married Miss Mary Ann Clay, of Berkshirea shipmate of his—and has eight children.
