Mr. Arthur E. Edridge

Mr. Arthur E. Edridge , some time of Yellow Bluff Farm, Drummond, was a son of the late Sir Thomas Richard Edridge, “The Elms,” Croydon, Surrey, England, and was born in April, 1852. He was educated at the Naval College, Gosport, entered the Royal Navy, and joined H. M. s. “Bellerophon,” attached to the Channel Fleet, being afterwards transferred to H. M. s. “Lifiey,” of the Flying Squadron, which visited the Australian colonies. In 1872 Mr Edridge left the service, and three years later sailed for Port Chalmers by the ship “Maladale.” After gaining some experience, he bought Yellow Buff Farm, which consisted of 1,400 acres of good grazing land. Mr Edridge was married, in 1883, to Ellen, daughter of the late John Sutton Maltby, Lincolnshire, England, and died in 1901.
