Col. Ewart Grogan (accompanying image), 12th December 1874 to 16th August 1967, came to Kenya with his wife Gertrude (after whom Gertrude Children's Homes in Kenya are named) in 1904, and is said to have once owned a vast expansive piece of land in Nairobi County stretching from around Museum Hill to Mlolongo, length wise and breadth wise. Kirinyaga Road, Nairobi, was also once known as Grogan Road, named after Col. Ewart Grogan, and indeed even today in 2020, many Kenyans still refer to Kirinyaga Road as Grogan Road. Col. Ewart Grogan is also famously remembered for a whipping incident that took place outside Nairobi's Norfolk Hotel in 1907, as reported below verbatim at Wikipedia i.e.

"In 1907 Grogan was involved in what became publicly known as the ‘Nairobi Incident’ after his sister Dorothy and her friend alleged to have been shamefully treated by three Kikuyu rickshaw drivers, Grogan took it upon himself to punish the men by walking them into Nairobi and publicly flogging them, Grogan flogged the first man, the two others being flogged by other members of the settler community, amongst them William Bowker. The event was widely reported around the world often erroneously reporting that one of the Kikuyu men had been killed. In response to this disregard for colonial authority Grogan and the two other men were tried and convicted; Grogan was sentenced to one month’s prison and a fine of 500 Rupees."
