Old Colonists.

Mr. James Imlay Milne was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 1836. He arrived in Port Chalmers in 1863, and after some experience in gold digging commenced farming in Otago. With Messrs W. Evans and F Le Cren he took up Strathallan station, which he and his partners were interested in for eighteen years. After selling his interest, Mr. Milne settled in Albury in 1897. In the early days he was a member of the Mount Cook Road Board, and was more than once chairman of the Mackenzie County Council. Mr. Milne was married at Otepopo, in 1868, to a daughter of the late Mr. William Pringle. Mrs Milne died in 1882, leaving five sons and three daughters. Mr. Milne is an elder in the Mackenzie Presbyterian Church, and superintendent of the Albury Sunday school.
