Mr. John Elliott , General Manager of Gladbrook Station, was born in Roxburghshire, Scotland, in 1844. He was brought up to pastoral pursuits and came to the Colony in 1861 by the ship “Pladda,” which discharged her passengers at Port Chalmers. After a short experience on the goldfields, he took to station life and had the management of the Matakanui estate for three years, prior to being appointed manager of the Patearoa and Gladbrook stations in 1876. Mr. Elliott was for some years a member of the Taieri County Council, and was married, in 1896, to a daughter of the late Mr. Mathias, of North Canterbury, and has two sons.
