Obituary. The Amuri has lost an old and valued settler in the person of Mr George Rutherford of Leslie Hills, North Canterbury, a gentleman whose genuine qualities and unassuming manners endeared him to all with whom he came in contact. Several of whose sons have lived for years past in this district. Although incapacitated years ago from active employment by paralysis his intellect remained unimpaired. Mr Rutherford was a native of Jedburgh, and arrived in Sydney in 1839, being then twenty-three years of age. He was identified with the management of stock and station properties first in NSW from whence he removed to South Australia. Going into the business of stock and station agent he very soon built up a large and influential connection. Mr Rutherford first came to New Zealand in 1858 for the purpose of buying land, and after purchasing Leslie Hills Estate, returned to settle permanently here in January, 1860. His motto, that "If it was worth having it was worth paying for." He accidentally fell into a creek near his own house on Friday 13. His remains were interred in the Cemetery at Waiau on Sunday 15th.
