• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY Agnes Wallace was born in 1855, the daughter of John Wallace and Esther Maise. She lived at "Fir Grove" and went to Matarawa School, and probably stayed at home to help until she was married. Agnes married Nils Peter Manson at Firgrove in 1882. Nils Manson migrated from Sweden to New Zealand in 1876. Agnes and Nils had four daughters and one son. It is thought that they lived and brought up their family at Firgrove, or close by, where Nils Manson helped on the Wallace farm. In 1892 before their last child was born, Nils bought the Firgrove property from John Alexander McKane Wallace. In 1893 Nils and his family moved to Kai Iwi where they took up land. In the ensuing years they rented out Firgrove, or put in share milkers. In 1938 Firgrove was sold and after nearly 80 years the farm passed out of the Wallace family. Nils died in 1927 and Agnes died in 1930. They are both buried in Heads Road Cemetery, Wanganui.
