The death of Mrs. W. Oldham at the advanced age of 87 years is announced. She was born in Dublin on October 10, 1814, and came to South Australia with her husband the late Mr. William Oldham, of Kapunda, on the ship Lord Godrich, arriving at Port Adelaide in February, 1838. After a short residence at Gawler and Angaston Mr. and Mrs. Oldham finally settled in Kapunda where Mrs. Oldham's kindness of heart won for her the affection of a large circle of friends. Since Mr. Oldham's death in 1885 she had resided principally with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Salter, of Angaston, and it was at their home she peacefully passed away early on Sunday morning, November 17.

Mr. Edward Salter, who died on Saturday at "Mamre Brook" Angaston, was one of the founders of Saltram Vineyard, carried on under the style of W. Salter and Son. Me was born at Exeter, Devonshire, in 1837. His father, the late Mr. William Salter, came to South Australia with his family in 1839, and for a few vears carried on business in Adelaide for an English firm. In 1842 he started sheepfarming in the neighborhood of Angaston, and purchased "Mamre Brook." In 1857, in conjunction with his son, Mr. Edward Salter, he planted the present vineyard, which yielded its first vintage in 1861. The business was taken over bv Mr. Edward Salter on the death of his father in 1871. Formerly a large business was done in the Australian wine trade, but of late years the attention of the firm has been devoted almost entirely to the export trade to London. In 1867 Mr. Salter married Miss
Emily Oldham, daughter of Captain Oldham, of the Kapunda mines. The family consists of seven sons.�/i�
