At that time Captain Hayter owned, in partnership, Highfield Station in Wairau; North Canterbury, and later he purchased from Mr A. B. Smith Rollesby Station, which Mrs Hayter occupied for .53 years. Mrs Hayter, who was .early left a widow,’was keenly devoted to home Interests, and was held in high regard in the Mackenzie Country. . After *-;lhe • winter of r 1895, which almost extermlhated the flocks of the Mackenzie Country, she was one of a delegation to Sir Jbhn Mackenzie, then Minister,for liands. As R result of the representations the Government caused rents to be materially reduced, great assistance of. country runholders.
