McDonald, David , Farmer, “Cardean,” Heddon Bush. “Cardean” is a property of 259 acres of freehold, 150 acres of which were acquired by the owner in 1894, and the rest in 1902. The land was originally covered with tussocks, but has since been brought into a good state of cultivation. Mr McDonald was born in 1861, at Denichan, Forfarshire, Scotland, and was educated at Kingsmuir, where he was brought up to farming. Mr McDonald came to New Zealand in 1882 by the ship “Auckland,” and was employed for fifteen months at Waimatuku Flat. He afterwards worked for two years at Glenburn, Otautau, and subsequently settled at Heddon Bush, where he acquired his present property, and erected a substantial homestead. Mr McDonald was married, in 1895, to a page 1002 daughter of Mr James Rough, of Kintore, Aberdeenshire, and has two sons and two daughters.
