kennth mc Curdy , born 5 12 1894 died 2 1 1965. ken lived all his life at bonnie glen , in mc curdys castle , ken was my uncle , i dont have many memorys of him, he would come across the river north of the wakatiki stream on a large clydesdale horse , to visit family in logan st and go shopping in upper hutt , some times when i came home from school i would find him visiting . he would tie his horse up to a tree in logan st . if he could not get across the river at his crossing point becouse of flooding, he would ride up to what is now totra park and cross a swing bridge ,
there are a few storys about ken threatening off unwanted visitors to bonnie glen on his horse with a loaded shot gun .he was quite an imposing figure riding his horse in a heavy rain coat.
