Jackson, Edward Rayney

Jackson, Edward Rayney, Sheepfarmer, Whenuakura. The youngest son of Mr. Freeman R. Jackson—one of Wanganui's most prominent citizens—the subject of this notice was born in that town in 1869, receiving his education at Wanganui College. For some years Mr. E. R. Jackson was in the office of his father, where he gained considerable mercantile knowledge, but preferring farming pursuits he took up his present farm of 814 acres, on which he has 3000 sheep and 120 head of cattle. Mr. Jackson married Miss Bertha Peat—daughter of Mr. David Peat, of Wanganui—and has one child.
