#OTD An early settler in the #Waiau District, Alexander Pearson, died early in the morning this day in history, on 21st January 1928. He had married Agnes Park, they married on 30 December 1870, in the town of Wishaw, Scotland.
Around 4-5 years later, the couple came to Aotearoa NZ. After some time, the family moved to #Orepuki by packhorse, where a homestead was built, known as “Holmburn”.
Alex's son-in-law George Charlton, was the storekeeper at #Tūātapere, the store can be seen here below:

Was lucky to go to Waiau Falls in the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand. The weather was perfect and I managed to time my visit when there were no other folks around. Here are my best shots.
