John McCulloch

According to the Cyclopedia of New Zealand:

Mr. John McCulloch, County Clerk, Returning Officer and Rate Collector,
has for nearly ten years filled these responsible offices.

Born in Larne, County Antrim, Ireland, in 1835, Mr. McCulloch came to
New Zealand in 1856 after having had some years experience of a
seafaring life.

Spending a short time in Napier, he was appointed clerk of the
Manawatu County, and resided in Foxton for nine years, receiving his
present appointment in 1887.

In 1873 Mr. McCulloch was married to a daughter of the late
Mr. Thomas Crowther, of Wainui-o-mata.'

In the photo at left, he is standing 4th from the left in the back row.
