OLDHAM, Lucy (80th Birthday Celebrations)
Advertiser Tuesday 24th September 1918
Mrs. Lucy Ann Oldham, of First avenue, East Adelaide, will today celebrate the 80th anniversary of her birthday. She is a native of South Australia, and a very interesting identity. Mrs. Oldham was born in a mud hut on the banks of the Torrens, between North and South Adelaide, her parents (Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs) having come to South Australia in the ship Coromandel in 1836. They were told on landing at Glenelg, that there would be no rain, but one night the rain came down in torrents, and all the low-lying areas were flooded. Mrs. Oldham’s mother and her first baby had to be hurriedly carried to higher ground. It was necessary to blaze the trees as they went in order that they might find their way back, so dense was the scrub. Mrs. Oldham's father built and owned the Old Colonist Hotel at Norwood, and he selected the name for the house, which has been retained. Mrs.Oldham first married a son of Mr. Hall, of Hindley-street, who she says, was the first photographer in Adelaide. Her husband also was a photographer, and the couple travelled to Port Augusta more than half a century ago engaged in that business.
After a few vears at the northern seaport they moved to Port Lincoln, where they kept first the Northern Hotel and then the Pier Hotel. As a young girl Mrs.Oldham saw the blacks many times coming from the north, past the northern part of what is now Walkerville. They were generally in full war paint, and their appearance and the weird corroborées greatly frightened the children. Mrs. Hobbs, however, had been taught by her husband how to fire a gun, and the firearm effectively frightened away the blacks when they approached too closely to the hut. Later the family lived on Dr. Kent's section, now known as Kent Town, and Mrs.Oldham and her sisters walked from there to school at North Adelaide. At Kent Town in those days there was only the doctor's house and their own. The eldest of four sisters now living is 83 years old, and the youngest over 70. One died at 63. Mrs.Oldham has been a great worker at bazaars, and for the institute. She has one son (Mr. R. Hall, of the Avenues Hotel). Her grandson was one of the first to enlist for the war, and has returned from active service.
