Glenham

Glenham is a farming settlement in the Toetoes riding of the county of Southland, and in the eltorate of Mataura. It is the terminus of the Edendale-Glenham branch line of railway, and lies six miles to the southward of Wyndham. The railway station is 240 feet above the level of the sea. A good deal of the land held in large areas in the district was bought back by the Government, and subdivided for closer settlement. The business of the local post office and telephone bureau is conducted at the house of the resident railway ganger. Glenham has a public school, with an average attendance of twenty-six.
