Brown, Andrew George

Brown, Andrew George , Farmer, “Inchbank,” Woodlands. Mr Brown, who is a son of the late Mr George Brown, a very old Southland settler, was born in 1869, at Waikiwi Plains, and was educated at the Roslyn and Myross Bush schools. He was brought up to farming, and bought his present property of 490 acres in 1890. With the exception of about 100 acres, the whole block was then covered with tussocks and flax, but it has since been brought to a good state of cultivation. Mr Brown has erected a very handsome residence as well as substantial outbuildings, and has completed a considerable amount of fencing. The property is devoted to mixed farming, and special attention is given to breeding the Titiroa strain of Herefords. Mr Brown is also a breeder of Clydesdale horses, and is the owner of the well-known sire “Lochinvar,” by “Craigievar.”
