The Fruitful Life of William John Wittfoht
William John Wittfoht was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1871. He came to Port Pirie aged 18, married Catherine Gaffney, then went to Broken Hill where they saved enough money to move to Western Australia in 1898 and establish a farm on the Capel River. He rapidly became a leader of the farming community, but this ended due to the anti-German sentiment of World War 1. He focused on farming, becoming successful with export apples. His house, built in 1922, became a community centre, animated by his five daughters. He died in 1945. The successful fruit growing district of the Capel River flourished for another generation, but today is gone apart from occasional fruit trees in paddocks for cattle and horses.This biography of William John Wittfoht was researched and written by his great grandson, Dr John K. Scott.
