    Notes 
    • Meech, Augustus, Sheepfarmer, "Springlands," Pongaroa. The fourth son of the late Mr. Henry Meech, who is referred to on page 769 of this volume, the subject of this notice was born in 1845 at Pipitea, Wellington. Brought up to farming pursuits, he became manager of the Springvale Estate in 1870.
      After three years in this position he was for some time engaged in contracting, subsequently buying his farm of 1100 acres. The entire property has been brought from a state of nature into a fine pastoral holding, beautiful patches of native bush having been preserved to provide shelter and timber. Mr. Meech has long bred Cotswold sheep, which have proved to be a hardy and robust variety, yielding as much as Lincolns on the same pasture.
      In 1878 Mr. Meech was married to the second daughter of Mr. H. Burling, and has five sons and six daughters.
