Painters And Decorators.

Farnie, William , Painter and Decorator, Tay Street, Invercargill. Mr. Farnie was born at Dunfermline, Fifeshire, Scotland, in 1838, learned the trade of a painter, and came to Port Chalmers in 11864 by the ship “Lady Raglan.” The times were very dull when he arrived in Invercargill, so he removed to Dunedin, where he found employment until 1875, when he returned to Invercargill and founded his present business. Mr. Farnie is a member of the Shamrock, Rose and Thistle Lodge of Oddfellows. He was married, in Glasgow, in 1863, to a daughter of the late Mr. Robert Jergus, of Kirkintilloch, Dumbartonshire, Scotland, and has two sons and one daughter.
