THE death oocurred recently of Mr. John (Henry) Banff of Clinton Vineyards, Coominya. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Banff, two of the district's earliest pioneers, who came out from Germany 100 years ago and went to Clinton 70 years ago to pioneer the grape industry there. He was born at Fernvale 80 years ago, and served in the South African War. On his return he went to Taroom, and spent 12 years in the grazing industry, but returned to Clinton when his brother, Lieut. William Banff, died. He was closely associated with the wine industry until 12 years ago.
