Mr. Alexander Cameron , formerly Manager of the Linnburn Station, was born in Argyleshire, Scotland, in 1850. He came to Port Chalmers, in 1852, by the ship “Slains Castle,” and has been engaged in agricultural and pastoral pursuits all his life. He was educated at Milton and Glenore, and worked on his father's farm at Lovell's Flat till his twenty-first year, when he found employment as a shepherd on Conical Hills estate. Two years later he engaged in general work on a station, and was head shepherd for eight years. For ten years subsequently Mr. Cameron was manager of Landels estate. He entered the employment of Mr. Turnbull, of “Linnburn,” in 1897, as head shepherd, and was appointed manager of the estate in 1899. Mr. Cameron was married, in 1884, to a daughter of Mr. James Fraser, of Kaitangata, and has four daughters and one son. He is now—1904—manager of the Beaumont Station.
