Notes From Elsewhere
Walter Lawry Waterhouse (1887-1969) was born in Maitland, NSW, the son of school headmaster John Waterhouse and Hepzibah, nee Lawry, the daughter of the Methodist missionary Henry Lawry. Walter was educated at Sydney Boy’s High School where his father was headmaster, and then gained a diploma from Hawkesbury Agricultural College.
Sometime during the period of 1906-1910 Walter was headmaster at the Methodist Mission Boys High School at Daviulevu in Fiji. His older brother, John Henry Lawry, also worked for the Mission from 1908 until 1917.
