The Descendants of Hugh MATHESON, born 1720.

27. John MURRAY [12858] (Donald MURRAY¹⁷, Ann MATHESON¹¹, Donald³, Hugh¹) was born in 1835 in Nr. Dunbarton Scotland, died 30 Jun 1915 in Bathurst NSW Australia at age 80, and was buried in Bathurst NSW Australia.

General Notes:John assisted in the Rutherglen branch of the City of Glasgow Bank, and in 1855 became a clerk in the head office. (His father was the Manager.)

John came to N.Z. on the "Aloe" to Auckland on 7 June 1863 with his new wife, Frances STEWART, accompanied by 2 brothers, 1 being George.

He joined the BNZ. A year later he resigned to accept the postion of manager of the Bank of Otago at Invercargill. This he relinquished in April 1866 to rejoin the BNZ as Inspector. He became the General Manager of B.N.Z. on 24 October 1888. A year later he became a director, but retired when the directorate was removed to London.

When the banking crisis occurred in 1894, the directors consulted John,and with their authority he approached the Government with a disclosure of the critical position of the Bank. Unless assistance was forthcoming, he said, it would have to close its doors. The responsibility of devising a scheme of assistance devolved upon him. Shareholders and directors accepted his advice, and Prime Minister Seddon adopted the scheme as the basis of the banking measures of June 1894. MURRAY was out of the bank at the time, but the directors and general manager left the whole task to him. When the bank was re-established, MURRAY retired in shattered health, and spent the rest of his life in N.S.W.

He died on 30 June 1915 in Bathurst, N.S.W., Australia, and is buried there.

'History of the Bank of NZ' has John's photo in it, plus information.
