Mr. James Stevenson , the Senior Partner, was born at Stronsay, in the Orkney Islands, in 1860, and came to New Zealand in 1881. He engaged in farm work for a time, and in 1889 took up 200 acres of land at Crown Terrace, which he and his brother have since increased to their present holding. Mr Stevenson is a member of the Crown Terrace school committee, and of the Arrow Presbyterian church committee. He was a member of the Arrow Athletic Club for many years, and handicapper for some time; and at one time he took part in stone-putting contests. Mr Stevenson married a daughter of Mr John Jenkins, farmer, Crown Terrace, and has one son.
