He was educated at the district school, and his young life was spent assisting on the farm and in other work in the settlement. Later, he partly followed the occupation of carpenter, acquiring considerable skill at the trade. More recently, he had been assisting his brother Fergus on the farm at Taipuha. Quiet and unassuming in disposition, his life was marked by industry, uprightness and kindness.

Malcolm (Whangarei) and George (Kaukapakapa)', Mrs O. Hughes (Whangarei) and Nurse Jean Mcßae (on the staff of the Te Kopuru hospital).
