BELL, John died 01 March 1859
Advertiser 3rd March, 1859
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.-An inquest was held on Wednesday morning at the Kangaroo Inn, South-road, on the body of John Bell, a middle-aged man. The Jury having been sworn proceeded to view the body, which presented a frightful spectacle ; the entire of the right side of the head and face being completely smashed in, and the vertebrae of the neck broken, so that death must have been instantaneous. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was riding on a loaded bullock-dray, which was driven by his brothers-in law, George and Samuel Broughton, down the South-road. About 8 o'clock, when they were about half a mile on the Adelaide side of the Kangaroo Inn, Samuel Broughton thought he heard something: fall from the dray, and George Broughton immediately fancied that it was the deceased who fell. He immediately stopped the bullocks, and walked back on the track of tho dray, and within a few yards of it found the deceased lying upon the road quite dead, the wheel having passed right over his head. The deceased was said to have been slightly the worse for drinking, but quite capable of taking care of himself. Nevertheless, the brothers-in-law were so far apprehensive of an accident that they sustained a conversation with their unfortunate relative in order to prevent his falling asleep. The last observation addressed to him was made only some 10 minutes previous to the accident '; and his reply to this, he said. " All right, old fellow there's no fear of my going to sleep." His companions,, nevertheless are of opinion that he subsequently fell asleep, and that the accident was the result of his having done so. The deceased was in the habit of riding on the dray, in consideration, of his being the eldest of the party, and on yesterday he had climbed up on the loading without any assistance; The brothers were very respectable men in appearance, and seem to have taken every possible care of their ill-fated relative. They were naturally much cut up at this sudden and terrible calamity, upon discovering which they lost not an instant in procuring assistance and summoning a medical man, who arrived on the spot in a very few minutes. His presence was of course unavailing, in as much as the death of the deceased must have been absolutely instantaneous.

BLACK, Mrs. C
Advertiser Wednesday 1st January 1902
Mrs. C. Black, who has resided for the last 52 years in a cottage off Carrington street, is one of tho oldest surviving colonists. She is a native of the Midland district of England, and although she has attained the age of 82 years, is, wonderfully robust, and her faculties are clear and keen. Mrs. Black left the old land on March 1, 1839, by tho ship Asiaf and arrived at Glenelg in July of the same year. Amongst her fellow passengers were the late Dr. Mayo and Mr. J. Frost. She remembers Adelaide as it was when she first saw the site on which the city now stands, and speaks with some enthusiasm of the changes which have been wrought in the intervening years. “It was always a pretty spot," she said, when chatting to a representative of "The Advertiser." "Even at that early date it was more like a park than anything else." Speaking of the growth of the city, she went on to say that Hindley street was the only clearly-defined street of the earliest period of her acquaintance with Adelaide. "You could stand alone and look down the street, and it will normally appear to be one long line of bullock drays. There was no Rundle street then."
Although bullock drays were numerous, it appeals that they were used chiefly for the removal of produce and household goods, and even this mode of travelling was considered something of a luxury for passengers. "We used generally to walk where we wanted to go, she added. "1 have walked to Port Adelaide, and was present when the old "Port was opened. There was a rough road all the way, but a great part of the district was nothing more than swamps." , Speaking of the distances covered on foot in the early days led Mrs. Black to make some observations on modern methods of: transit. She never takes the car into King William-street or Rundle street even now, as she regards it as a waste of money to pay to ride a distance which can easily be accomplished on foot. Life in the early days she says was very pleasant, although it was generally associated with plenty of hard work. "There were no machines to do all the things which were required. Then ploughing meant work, and reaping was done with the scythe." Her first acquaintance with the environments of the city, she says, was when the wheat fields spread from Goodwood to the Company's Mills, where the Hackney-bridge now stands.
There was fraternity and good fellow ship amongst the people in the early days which Mrs. Black considers went far to make colonial life desirable. The people were bound together by a cord of friend ship which led to mutual aid, and gave a sense of security. There were many excitements, especially when rumours of bushranging became current from time to time; but the people had not much real fear. Mrs. Black has not travelled much.
Her greatest journey since reaching South Australia has been a visit to Kapunda.

Unheard of for 15 Years.
An application for the grant of letters of administration in the estate of Stephen George Blight, of Willochra, sheep farmer was made by Mr. L. H. Haslam, on behalf of Annie Blight, the widow, who asked permission to swear that Blight died on or after February 26, 1897. Affidavits were read, showing that the testator left his home in the month named, with the ultimate intention of going to Broken Hill. He slept at his brother-in-law’s at Willowie, but was never seen or heard of after February 26, 1897, although advertisements had been inserted in many newspapers, and police and other enquiries had been thoroughly made. The Chief Justice, giving judgment, said it appeared that towards the end of 1896 Blight was married at Willochra, where he had been managing a farm for his father, but encountered bad seasons. His father was going to abandon the property, but leave the son a section at Willowie. Blight left his wife at Willochra, and went to see the land at Willowie in February 1897. He did not feel justified in taking his wife, to whom he had been married only a few months. He slept at the house of his brother-in-law (Mr. Duffield), at Willowie, and told him he was going to Broken Hill. On the same day he wrote an affectionate letter to his wife. He was never seen or heard of afterwards. Leave would be given to the widow to swear that her husband died on or after February 26, 1897, and an order would be made for her to administer the estate.

Mr. John Bott, residing not far from the locality of McNaughten's accident, being engaged to saw Timber for Mr.George Mills, of Hay Valley, was, in company with a man named Clark, in the act of falling a large tree, not far from Mr. Mills' residence. It appeared they had sawn the tree all round, but were not aware it was entirely cut through, and left it a few minutes, whilst engaged cutting some wedges ; Bott at the same time remarking "they must be cautious the tree did not fall on them, as he had known a man killed by such an accident." It did, however, come away unexpectedly, and Clark, more active than poor Bott, rushed out of danger. Bott was struck down by a heavy limb with great force against the stump of a wattle, which inflicted a frightful scalp wound, and laid bare the scull very extensively. He breathed afterwards a little, but death ensued almost instantaneously.
