A case of five generations occupying the same farm is perhaps unique in the Dominion, says the “Christchurch Times.” Such, however, has happened on Banks Peninsula. In 1840 the late Mr. Donald McKinnon came from Australia with his' wife and family and settled at Island Bay, Wainui, where he engaged in whaling and farming. A daughter married the late Mr. Archibald McPhail and succeeded to the farm, which in turn was taken up by her son, Mr. Donald McPhail, and later on by the letter’s son, Mr. Kenneth McPhail, who has a young family and thus completes the five generations.
