Mr. T. A. Munro

Mr. T. A. Munro , the Proprietor, was born at Rugged Ridges, in 1867, and went to school at Otamatata. He commenced driving the mail coach for Mr. Goddard about 1885, and after ten years' experience purchased the livery stable business attached to the hotel, of which he is now proprietor. Mr. Munro has always been a total abstainer, and his brothers and sisters also are total abstainers, notwithstanding the fact that the family were brought up in a hotel and three of the brothers have been publicans. Mr. Munro has been a member of the Kurow school committee since 1893, and has served as secretary to the local Court of Foresters for five years. He was married, in 1893, to a daughter of the late Mr. F. W. Thiele, of Kurow, and has one daughter and three sons.
