Wood, Thomas Eli , Farmer, Seaward Moss. Mr. Wood holds 100 acres of land, on which he conducts mixed farming. He was born in Melbourne, Victoria, on the 28th of November, 1857, and came to the Bluff with his parents when quite a child. After attending school at Nokomai, he went to work on farms and stations, and, later, at the sawmills. In 1888 he took up his present holding, then in its natural state. When not engaged at his farm, Mr Wood works at the sawmill of Messrs Bird Brothers, Woodend. He is a member of the Shamrock, Rose and Thistle Lodge, Manchester Unity, and has been a member of the Seaward Moss school committee for some years. Mr Wood married a daughter of Mr Thomas James, of Cornwall, England, and has two sons and five daughters.
