Biography

James was born in Okaramio in 1884. After his mother's death in 1912 he continued to live with his father until manhood, when they became a team, working in both flax and timber mills. They were part of a team at Uncle Richard's mill at Okoha before eventually moving north to the King Country to mills at Ohakune, Manson's Siding and finally Raurimu, where their roles were reversed, James Robert becoming the "Boss" and his father, the engine driver.

In 1914, James Robert married Eliza Maria and like his father, had a family of one - daughter Elsie.[1] Eliza died in 1932 and some years later, James Robert married his second cousin, Gladys Elizabeth (Bessie) Climo, a granddaughter of John and Kate Climo and daughter of Walter and Matilda. They had a family of three sons.

After the Raurimu mill was sold, James Robert and Bessie moved to Cambridge where they started farming with his father James, now feeling his years, assisting with the mechanics. Later they moved to Paeroa and Waihi and by 1936 james had gone to live in Hamilton with his sister Mrs Jane Pope.

Meanwhile, James Robert and Bessie had moved their family to Waihi and in 1962, James died and was buried at Paeroa.[2][3][4]
