Archibald Hawke

Archibald Fotheringham Hawke (1862 – 27 September 1936) was a businessman from Invercargill, and a member of the New Zealand Legislative Council from 1918 to 1932.

Hawke was born in Stirling, Port Augusta, South Australia in 1862.

When that company was sold, Hawke went to the stock and station agents Martin and Maitland.

After a year, that business sold out to the National Mortgage and Agency Company of New Zealand (NMA) in May 1878.

He was a large shareholder of Southland's largest company, the milk condensing plant of Murrays Ltd.[3] Hawke was active both as a sportsman and administrator.

Hawke was a member of the Waihopai School committee, and served on the borough council for 14 years, for most of that time as mayor.
