Biography
McLaurin was born near Holbrook to James McLaurin and Isabella Rankin. He was educated by a private tutor while growing up on his father's station, after which he worked for Goldsbrough Mort & Co. In 1891 he purchased his father's land. He was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1901 as the Progressive member for Hume. He transferred to Albury in 1904 and after the collapse of his party was one of few Progressives not to join the Liberal Party, continuing in parliament as an Independent Liberal. He held his seat until 1913, when he was defeated by the Labor candidate. McLaurin died near Holbrook in 1917.[1]
