  • Notes 
    • BIOGRAPHY

      Frederick Archibald McLaren, known as Pat, the youngest son of Thomas McLernon and Elizabeth Duxfield, was born in 1898 in Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand. Pat was a dairy farmer at Manawaru near Te Aroha. He took over his father's farm. In 1933 Pat married Una McKelvie Ellett, and the couple had a son. Una died in 1941.

      Pat remarried Rita Marie Ham in 1944. Rita and Pat had two children. According to Electoral Rolls, Pat and Rita retired from the Manawaru farm to Te Aroha about 1963. Rita died in 1968 and Pat in 1989. Pat, Una and Rita were all buried in Te Aroha.

      Pat owned a beach batch, a very modest holiday home, overlooking the sand hills and ocean beach at Mount Maunganui. He made the batch available to his nieces, Ethel Korte and Ena Perrett, and their families after the school holidays ended in February. I remember the enjoyable couple of weeks spent at Mount Maunganui instead of school for several Februarys, swimming in the surf and harbour with family and cousins, plus collecting and eating pipi from the beach. Today the beach batches have been replaced by substantial houses.
