| 52 | A short article about John appeared in the South African Railways and Harbours Magazine dated Apr 1933. The article commemorated his retirement. It stated: "Mr John Foster, Station Master, Magaliesburg who has retired on pension, joined the London, UK and North Western Railway, at Edge Hill, Liverpool, Lancashire, UK, in 1890, and held various positions on that system until 1902. He then joined the Cape Govt. South African Railways as Foreman on the Western System, where he remained until 1906. He then joined the Central South African Railways in the Transvaal as Foreman and was promoted to Station Master in 1909. He had 43 yrs' railway work to his credit, which is exceptionally long service for one who had his 55 birthday only a few weeks ago." | Foster, John (I99)

| 54 | After the death of her husband, Edith went to live with her sister Martha Oliphant, who lived in 11 The Willows, off Breck Road, Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. The house was called Oak Lea. It was a large house, 4 storeys. Edith's sister was a sickl y woman, who often took to her bed for days at a time, so no doubt the burden of looking after the house fell on Edith's shoulders. All that is known about Edith comes from the handwritten childhood memoires of Harry Oliphant, the child adopted by her sister Martha. Harry had fond memories of Deedy, as he called her - she was the person who comforted him when he was troubled or in trouble. During the daytime Edith lived in the "servants' kitchen" in the basement of the house. At night she slept in the attic. Edith was a big, heavy woman, according to Harry. She had a job canvassing business for a clothing firm Colliers, and collecting the instalment payments for earlier credit purchases. Later she performed the same duties for a shop called Sturlas. | Bradley, Edith (I812)
