Fowler, John Walker

Fowler, John Walker , Farmer, “The Grange,” West Plains. Mr Fowler was born, in 1862, in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was brought by his parents to the Bluff in the ship “Helenslea” in the following year. His father, Mr John Fowler, was a pioneer settler in the West Plains district, where he acquired 200 acres of land, now known as “The Grange,” which was then covered with bush, with the exception of thirty acres. This property, which is now fully cultivated, was taken over by Mr Fowler in 1902. Mr Fowler is a member of the Waikiwi River Board, and of the West Plains school committee, of which he has been secretary almost continuously since 1902. He was married in 1902.
