DEATH OF AN AYRSHIRE MAN IN NEW ZEALAND
I regret having to report that Mr George Gregg, one of our most respected settlers, died on Thur.4th. Sept.1902.
About ten years ago he was seized with a severe attack of asthma and bronchitis, which so impaired his health that he remained an invalid until the end. Though able to move about and superintend his farm operations he was not able to undertake active work.
The late Mr Gregg was a native of Ayrshire, born and brought up at Barrhill near Girvan. His Mother two sisters and two brothers are still alive and one of his brothers now occupies the same farm as his late father was tenant of. Mr. Gregg left home and arrived in Dunedin in 1868, and was occupied in the management of Stockton Galloway Station Dunstan District for 14 years. He left that situation to take up land at Tokonui, where he resided for the last 19 years. His family being young when he arrived here, it was a hard struggle breaking the native land and converting it into an arable farm, which however he succeeded well in doing.
Throughout his residence in Tokonui the deceased gentleman wits actively and prominently identified with every phase of local progress. Possessing the implicit confidence of the whole district, as one who strove to better the condition of his fellow man without motives of a mercenary nature to further his own ends, he was invariably entrusted with office and discharged his duties with the greatest interest and attention to detail. At the time of his death he held the offices of Chairman of School committee, Chairman and Secretary Dairy Factory, Commissioner of Cemetery and Recreation Ground. Prior to his coming to Tokonui he was an elder of the Presbyterian Church in Dunstan, under Rev. Lohian and he held similar office in Toi Toi congregation under Rev. Johnston of Fortrose. He did splendid work in the settling of a new district in primitive conditions. Along with his respected wife he had brought up and maintained a family of four sons and three daughters.
According with Mr Gregg's wish he was buried in The Cemetery Reserve Tokonui.
(The deceased was a son of the late Mr. John Gregg, farmer, Shallochwell).
