natural state, but is now fully improved and grows good crops of wheat, oats and barley. Mr Naylor was born at Richmond, Melbourne, in 1859, and was educated in Melbourne and Dunedin, where his parents arrived in 1870. His father, who had been trained as manager of a woollen factory in the Old Country, started in the wool trade in Dunedin, whence he went to Lake Wakatipu, where his son Frederick assisted him, and remained in the trade until 1892. Mr Naylor then settled on his Nokomai Siding farm, which he had selected in 1876. Mr Naylor, who is a Justice of the Peace, takes a general interest in the progress of the district; he was for some time on the Garston school committee, and is secretary of the Athol Cemetery Trust, and secretary of the Anglican Church Committee. He was married, in 1892, to a daughter of the late Mr George Sinclair, of Maori Hill. Dunedin, and has a family of three sons and three daughters.
