Barnes, Frederick Samuel; Farmer. Seddon. Mr. Barnes is a son of the late Mr. Samuel Barnes, one of the earliest settlers in the Wairau. He was born in Blenheim, on the 8th of June, 1869, and was educated at the local Borough School. Mr. Barnes afterwards turned his attention to farming, and from 1886 till late in the nineties, he farmed property held on lease from Mr. Beaumont, the proprietor of the Starborough run. On the subdivision of that estate, he successfully applied for a section. His present holding embraces an area of 1100 acres of excellent agricultural and grazing country, upon which he conducts sheepfarming and agriculture. The homestead is an up-to-date and handsome building, pleasantly situated, and commands a fine view of the Awatere Valley. Mr. Barnes married Miss H. Hay, of Blenheim, in the year 1897, and has three sons and one daughter.
