The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Wellington Provincial District]

McKenzie, Walter

McKenzie, Walter, Farmer, “Puriri,” Turakina Valley. Mr. McKenzie was born at Ullapool, Scotland, in 1876, and was educated at a public school. He joined the staff of the Great Northern Railway Company in 1893, being employed in London in the invoicing office. After two years in London he was transferred to Glasgow, but left for New Zealand shortly afterwards, arriving in Wellington in 1895. Mr. McKenzie held the farm of Loch Miln, Rosshire, and he is descended from the war-like chiefs of Kinlail, who served in the 72nd, 74th, and 78th Highlanders, in the latter part of last century and the early part of this.
