Arthur Groom (politician)

Arthur Champion Groom (26 November 1852 – 22 March 1922) was an Australian politician and land agent.

He married Gertrude Rudge, with whom he had a daughter and three sons, at Geelong on 8 January 1877, at which time he was managing a nearby station.

He continued in the stock and land management business for many years.

He was rarely present at Parliament as he continued his work as a stock agent, and retired from the House in 1903.

[1] After leaving parliament, he bought a property, Kyogle, in northern New South Wales, an extremely successful venture which turned Groom's interest further north.
