BECOMES BARONET
FARMER OF PAHIATUA SIR HENRY HOLMES MILLER (By Telegrapb.—Press Association) PALMERSTON N., Thursday A resident for more than 40 years in the Pahiatua district, Mr Henry Holmes Miller, of Ngaturi, has received word by cablegram from England that he has succeeded to a baronetcy through the death of a cousin who held the title. This was Sir Charles John Hubert Miller, the eighth baronet. Sir Henry, who was born in 1866, has been engaged in farming and is a highly respected settler. He is a son of the late Sir Henry Miller, a former Speaker of the New Zealand Legislative Council, who died in Oamaru in 1913. He is married and has two sons and three daughters. The baronetcy originated in 1705, when it was conferred on Sir Thomas Miller, who was M.P. for Chichester in 1688 and 1690 and who was several times Mayor of Chichester.
