Mr. Duncan Stewart Glasgow

Mr. Duncan Stewart Glasgow, who was elected a member of the Lethbridge Town Board in 1896, has been associated with the Turakina District all his life. He was born in 1868 on the Edenmore Estate, and was brought up to the page 1336 life of a sheepfarmer. He is associated with his brothers, Robert and William Glasgow (the latter was for two years also a member of the Town Board), the firm being Glasgow Brothers. The properties, “Invernalie” and “Edenmore,” comprise 1000 acres, exclusive of 220 acres of leasehold, and carry about 1000 sheep of the Lincoln variety. About 3000 lambs are available for the market each year. In addition to these, the firm have some good cattle, shorthorn and polled-angus, which proves to be a capital cross. Mr. Duncan Glasgow is interested in athletics as a footballer and cricketer, and is a member of the committee of the Turakina Cricket Club. He is also a member of the local library committee. In 1893 he enjoyed a round trip to Sydney and Hobart, completing en route the circle of his native island.
