Mr. Benjamin Bagley
Mr. Benjamin Bagley , after following his profession as chemist and druggist in the Midland Counties of England for many years, commenced colonial life in Victoria, and after being two or three years in that colony, arrived in Dunedin in the latter part of 1861. He was employed for a few months in the “Otago Daily Times” office, and then he started in business as a chemist in George Street; a business which has since been conducted by his sons. Mr. Bagley represented Bell Ward in the City Council, to which he was elected in 1868, and re-elected in 1870; and he was also a member of the Benevolent Institution Committee. He died at his residence, St. Leonards, on the 8th of July, 1895, in his seventy-third year.
The Late Mr. B. Bagley.
