The obituary recounts Augustis Saunan of Latmorston dying Tuesday morning. A London educated merchant who worked across Europe and Australia, he built a vast trade network, invested in copper and mining ventures, and held leadership roles in the Lincoln Stock Exchange and Australian scientific and charitable bodies. He served as river chairman, long a BP member, and active in the Chamber of Commerce.
