DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST.
The death took place on Thursday night at this residence, Charles-street, Norwood, of Mr. William Galbraith, at the age of just under 89. The deceased, who was a colonist of 62 years, had enjoyed remarkably good health up till about three years ago, and had always shown a keen interest, in the affairs of the times and in literature. A native of Scotland, having been born in Glasgow on February 20, 1822, he early interested himself in politics, and had the clearest recollection of the excitement due to the passing of Earl Grey's Reform Bill. He left London for South Australia in the ship Hoogley on July 31, l848 and after a voyage lasting 127 days, reached Port Adelaide on December 5, 1848. The deceased followed the operation of a lithographer, and was probably the first pictorial printer in South Australia. He was for many years connected with the firm of Penman and Gallsmith and his name is associated with the original print of "The song of Australia," which was composed over 50 years ago in connection with a competition promoted by the Gawler Institute. Soon after he became a septuagenarian Mr. Galbraith retired from business. Mrs. Galbraith died many years ago. The surviving daughter are Miss Gailbraith , Miss Jessie Galbraith, and Mrs. H R Willes and there are three sons..

GALLAGHER, James Henry died 14 July 1925
The Burra Record Wednesday 22 July 1925
Mr James H. Gallagher who passed away at his residence, Aberdeen on July 14th last, was one of Burra's most public spirited and generous men. Of a cheery, optimistic nature he ever saw the bright side of life and his bright personality will be greatly missed. The deceased gentleman was a native of Burra and was born at Kooringa, on August 19th 1861, and was the eldest son of the late Mr and Mrs Edward Gallagher. He first started out for himself by taking contracts for damsinking and about thirty years bought Pualoo Station about 80 miles east of Burra. On this place he faced a severe times with droughts etc, but came through successfully. In 1903 he bought Qoondong Station and later Drayton Station. Besides the oversight of his runs he found time to take a great and practical interest in all matters appertaining to the districts welfare and was an ardent supporter of all sport. For many years he was President of the Burra Racing Club, the Sporting and Athletic Clubs, and committee man of the Burra Show Society. His generousity during the war was unbounded and besides large sums of money devoted to every scheme, he as President of the Burra Sporting Club, saw to it that every returned man in Burra and district was presented with a wallet containing a £5 note. Mr Gallagher was also the first man to move in the matter of connecting up the eastern stations by telephone but a drought intervened and the matter was side tracked. This was later revived and carried through successfully by Mr I. J. Warnes. A lasting monument to Mr Gallagher is the lighting scheme of Burra. To his determination is mainly due the fact that the Burra Electric Light Co. is a fixture here. His benefactions to every cause are too many for us enumerate In 1887 he married Miss C. Terry daughter of Mr W. Terry of Copper house, who survives, and a family of four sons viz.— James Gallagher, (Adelaide) ; George Gallagher, Pualco Station ; Leonard and William Gallagher of Quondong and Drayton, and seven grandchildren, one son Pte. Bert Gallagher, was reported missing and later killed, during the Great War, His only daughter Miss Hilda Gallagher, died in 1915, The funeral took place on Wednesday last and was largely attended. Amongst the many beautiful floral tributes received were, from the Burra Racing Club, Sports Club, Show Society, Redruth Methodist Sunday School and Messrs Elder Smith & Go, Kooringa, Burra Electric Supply Go., Aberdeen Football Club.

GARDINER, Joseph died 15 October 1905
Advertiser Tuesday 17 October 1905
Mr. Joseph Gardiner, who died at the Destitute Asylum on Sunday, at the age of 81 years, was a man of parts, and could
easily adapt himself to circumstances. When in England he became a vocalist, and his singing brought him into prominence. Soon after his arrival in South Australia, early in 1848, he attracted the attention of Mr. George Coppin, who on one occasion asked Mr. Gardiner, "Do you act as well as sing?" The reply was, "No, I never acted a part in my life." He was, however, induced by Mr. Coppin to appear at the Old Victoria Theatre, Light-square, for seven or eight weeks on account of a bespeak night from the Governor, Sir Henry Young. The play was "Love Laughs at Locksmiths." Subsequently Mr. Gardiner took the part of the old man in "The Statue, or Hercules, King of Clubs." Two years later he went to Victoria and appeared at the old Queen's Theatre, owned by Mr. J. T. Smith, and played Brabantio in "Othello." Actors were at a premium, owing to the discovery of gold, and with others of the theatrical profession he turned his attention for a while to delving for gold, and subsequently he went overland to Sydney, and formed a Vaudeville Expedition Company, and after a period of success he started overland to Brisbane. "But alas," he wrote afterwards, "I very soon found to my sorrow that to run four or five people, all fond of drink, was no sinecure. There was plenty of money in the venture, but the drink and through it the disappointing of the public, ruined us." He disbanded his company at Brisbane. He next appeared with the "Wizard of the North," and returned to Melbourne overland, playing as he went as "Professor Gardiner, wizard of the antipodes, comedian and illusionist." The gold fever turned his attention to the Inglewood and Lachlan diggings, and after a while he became landlord of the Cricketers Hotel at Inglewood. He returned to South Australia in 1870, and two years later went again to Victoria. In his old age Mr. Gardiner referred to the stage as "The down grade," and wrote against it. In 1875 he settled at Hindmarsh, where he was in business on the Port-road for some time. He wrote a book on "Twenty-five years on the stage, or the life of an Australian actor, his experiences and vicissitudes." A few years ago he was admitted to the Destitute Asylum, where he remained until his death.
