Mr. Robert Timpany

Mr. Robert Timpany , who resides in Yarrow Street, Invercargill, is in charge of the mill. He was born, in 1861, in the parish of Coylton, Ayrshire, Scotland, where he was educated. He landed at the Bluff in 1875 and worked at sawmills for some time before joining his brother in 1880, when the present firm—now one of the best known in the timber trade—was constituted. Since that time Mr Timpany has started and managed mills in various parts of Southland. He married a daughter of the late Mr W. Hogan, of Invercargill, and has three sons and three daughters.
