The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Canterbury Provincial District]

Harris, Edward

Harris, Edward, Farmer, Radcliff Road, Styx. Mr. Harris is a native of Canterbury, and a son of the late Mr. Stephen Harris, who arrived in New Zealand, in 1851, and shortly afterwards purchased 100 acres of first-class land on the south side of the river Styx, and subsequently acquired another 100 acres. Mr. Harris, senior, who was well known throughout the district for many years, left five sons and five daughters. Mr. Edward Harris now farms, on the banks of the river, twenty-six acres of land which has yielded some very heavy crops, chiefly oats, peas, wheat, and root crops. Latterly dairying has come much into favour in the district, and Mr. Harris has, with others, turned his attention towards this industry, and has obtained a herd of very suitable cattle. Mr. Harris is married, and has four sons and one daughter.
