AN OLD COLONIST. DEATH OF MR. DAVID PACKHAM.
Another link with the early history of South Australia was broken by the death, at his residence. High-street. Kensington, on Wednesday morning, of Mr. David Packham, a widely-known municipalist in the eastern suburb.
The deceased gentleman, who was colonist for 72 years and for two years Mayor of Kensington and Norwood, and for a term represented East Torrens the House of Assembly, was born in Sussex, England, on April 9. 1832, so that he would have been 8O years of age on Monday next. At the age of 7 years he arrived at Glenelg in the ship Moffat, and in his early years resided on the town acre in the city on which the General Post-Office now stands. His father, the late Mr. William Packham, acquired the first flour mill in the State and in it he was assisted by his son. The remains of that mill, at Waterfall Creek. Burnside. are still to be seen. After working for his father for six years MT. Packham decided to engage in business on his own account, and he took up farming for some years on the section now owned by Mr. Peter Wood at Burnside. Later on he went to Magill, having secured a farm there. Having spare time on hand he decided to carry out road-making contracts, and obtaining à ten years lease of land at Stonyfell (Burnside) he opened up the quarries, which at the expiration of the lease were taken over by Mr. Dunstan and have been worked by him ever since. While residing in the Burnside district Mr. Packham evinced a keen interest in local government affairs, and for six years was a member of the Burnside District Council. He had joined in the rush to the Victorian gold diggings in the early fifties, but after year's absence from the State satisfied him that it was advisable to return to his farm. In 1864 Mr. Packham removed his residence to Kensington, where he established a chaff mill. It had just been got into thorough working order when a disastrous, fire demolished the buildings and machinery, causing him a loss of £1,400 above all insurance. The mill was reconstructed, and was succesfully carried on by him until he retired from business life about six years ago, and handed the undertaking over to his son (Mr. A. G. Packham).
Mr. Packham's enthusiasm for municipal work reasserted itself, and in 1865 he entered the Kensington and Norwood Council as a representative of Kensington ward. He was re-elected when his term had expired, and then after a lapse of 12 months he re-entered the council and sat continuously until 1878, whan as a re- ward for his services the citizens returned him as Mayor after a strenuous contest with the late Mr. R. H. Wigg. The first year of his mayoralty was marked by progress, as during his occupancy of the chair name plates were placed at the intersection of the streets for the first time, the Norwood-parade bridge was widened, the system of allocating rates to the various wards was introduced, and a survey of the town undertaken. No one opposed him when he sought re-election as mayor in the following year. A few years later he re-entered the council as a representative of his ward, and after six years' service retired from the council in 1890, having been a member almost continuously for 22 years. In 1894 Mr. Packham aspired to be a member of Parliament, and in May of that year he was returned for East Torrens to the House of Assembly, in place of the Hon. T. Play- ford, who had accepted the office of Agent General in London in succession to the late Sir J. C. Bray. When he re-offered his services at the following election, how- ever, he was defeated.
The deceased gentleman had a most affable and genial disposition, and made many friends. As a member of the council of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society he did valuable work, and was honoured by having a life membership conferred upon him. At the Adelaide shows on many occasions he officiated as steward in various departments, and also as a judge of agricultural products. Almost from the inception of the Loyal Norwood Lodge of Oddfellows he was a trustee, and be filled that office up till the time of his death. He also took a live interest in mining pursuits and filled the position of chairman of directors of the old Balhannah Mining Company and of the Ethel Silver Mine. Silverton. Mr. Packham invariably enjoyed good health. On one occasion, when he was a member of Parliament, he met with a serious accident through being capsized from his buggy in which he and the late Mr. John Harvey, of Salisbury, were re turning home from the Adelaide show. As the result he was laid up for many months, but he thoroughly recovered. He had been ill on the last occasion for only about week, and death was due to senile decay. He left a widow, three sons, and one daughter.

Seldom has such profound sympathy been felt for a bereaved family than that for Mr. and Mrs. George Parker, of Leighton, and family, in the tragically sad death of their youngest son and brother, Joseph, which, occurred at the home on Tuesday, August 4th. The young man was, with his only brother, putting an unbroken horse (a big powerful animal) into the team.
He had it by the head, and Mrs. Parker also had the animal holding by a rope, Mr. Cecil ('Son') Parker was just within an ace of hooking it in when the horse reared and bounded out. Mr. Joe Parker was knocked down, and the flying hook somehow caught in his groin. The animal made off, dragging the poor lad, but the elder brother, who also had the reins, never let go, and after traversing about 300 yards, meanwhile bumping several posts, succeeded in pulling the horse up. Although rightfully injured the lad was quite conscious, and spoke to his mother. Mr. I. J. Warnes was notified and motored the sufferer to the Burra Hospital. In addition to his other dreadful injuries, on examination it was found that the main artery of the heart was severed, consequently he passed away very shortly after admission, remaining conscious to the last. His brother also sustained slight injuries, besides suffering severely from shock. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon, and was the
largest seen in Burra for many years, showing not only the great respect in which the family is held, but the deep sympathy felt for them in their sad bereavement. Those present represented people from all parts of the district, particularly Leighton, Booborowie, and the town itself. The deceased young man, who had only just passed his 21st birthday, was very popular, hard working, and conscientious, and his death will cause a blank in the home that will never be filled. A member of the Aberdeen Oddfellows' Lodge, Bros. F. M. Pearce, T. Fuller, W. J. Woollacott, L. Cullen, Les. McGowan, and Boz Pearce acted as bearers. The Rev. H. Alvey conducted the service, and the lodge service was read by Bro. W. J. Woollacott, Messrs. C. J. Pearce & Sons conducting the funeral arrangements. Besides his parents and only brother there are four sisters — Mrs. J. Pens, Bendigo Station; Mesdames J. O. Earle and Collins, of Leighton, and Mrs. H. Corneilius, of Loch Winnoch Station. The deceased was a grand son of Mr. Joseph Flower, late of Stony Gap.

Mrs. Parker was surprised to find the horse and cart return without her husband, and directed the man to go and seek for his master, whom he found lying insensible on the road, opposite Mr. Tapley's house. With the assistance of Mr. Meseke, landlord of the Victoria Hotel, he was conveyed home; Doctors Montgomery and Ferguson were immediately in attendance, and found that he had fallen on his head, sustained a fracture of the skull, and internal injuries which precluded all hope of recovery. He expired on Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, without having recovered his consciousness. Major O'Halloran, on hearing of the occurrence, made personal enquiries as to the cause of the accident, and having satisfied himself that it was quite unnecessary to hold an inquest, issued his authority to have the body interred.

PARSONS, John Flann 1813 - 1883
John Flann Parsons born on August 29, 1813 at Wyke Regis, Dorset, England was the eldest of eight children born to Daniel and Mary Parsons. He was given the middle name of “Flann”, as this was his mothers’ maiden surname. Later John was to pass this legacy on to his eldest son. On 1st Sept. 1836, when his youngest brother, Israel, was only five, John set sail on the Coromandel as a seaman bound for South Australia. The Coromandel arrived in South Australian waters and dropped anchor at night on the 10th January 1837.
A large number of the 156 passengers left the ship in what is now Coromandel Valley with the intention of settling in South Australia, and a number of the took the opportunity to leave the ship also, John Parsons amongst them. The captain, Captain Chesser, was granted a warrant on the 31st January to arrest his wayward crew, but none were arrested but later all but one surrendered on 13th March, when they were remanded for three days before being freed.
John was quite enterprising in his new start in life. He first had charge of the stores at Holdfast Bay, and later he purchased a boat with which to land mail, and to make a living ferrying passengers to and from boats. His boat was the first private boat ventured in for trading, consequently he found full employment. A testament to his desire to thrive in this new country can be seen in a receipt issued to John in 1837 by the then Honourable Colonial Secretary, who paid John 2 pounds 5 shillings to help board prisoners onto the HMS Buffalo and another ship.
In January 1838 John married Mary Anne McHugh, who had arrived in December 1837 with her sister, under the guardianship of their uncle and his family. John had boarded the ship and seen Mary Anne and immediately offered to marry her. Mary Anne’s uncle agreed, as long as John promised to keep her in the manner to which she was accustomed. Rev. Mr. Howard married them at a ceremony in a small hut on North Terrace where Trinity Church was eventually to be built. The marriage was the 20th performed at that time without the needed consent of the Governor.
The Old Port area was becoming an attraction so John moved there in the hope of advancing his life and position. He worked under Captain Lipson, who made him a prominent man on his staff, and who placed him in charge of the first spoon barge to open out a channel for ships to pass through. Once the channel was completed it was known for many years afterwards as “Parsons’ Track”.
The area of Port Adelaide was becoming more popular so John purchased land in Alberton, where he built many buildings, including hotels, amongst them the Old Coromandel, the Shipwrights’ Arms, Australia’s Pride, and the present Alberton Hotel.
In 1852 he went to the goldfields, and persevered with others with moderate success. Feeling on his return that there was no chance for him in South Australia, he made a second trip to the diggings, with like results: then he returned and “settled down” in the Alberton area.
On the 3rd February 1870 Mary Anne died at the Australia’s Pride Hotel, Port Adelaide, after a “long and painful” illness. She was 49 years and had been a “colonist for 33 years”.
In April 1883, John too died having lived in South Australia for 46 years. His five daughters, three sons and nineteen grandchildren survived him, with many more generations to come.

He was 70 years of age, and his death was no doubt hastened by the effect of a kick from a horse he sustained some months ago. In the very early days Mr. Patterson was connected with deepening operations in the harbour at Port Pirie when the work was carried out by means of the old fashioned spoon dredge. He was a native of Tonsberg, Norway, and the early years of his life were spent at sea. Prior to coming to Australia 32 years ago he lived for some time in Tasmania and New Zealand. By his industry and thrift he was able to purchase the ketches Phoebe, Sir William Foster, and Wilpena and when he took up land in the Hundred of McGregor, on the West Coast, at what is now known as Munyeroo Farm, he employed these vessels in carrying firewood to Port Pirie. Mr. Patterson found the sacrity of water a great drawback to success in framing, and after a few years disposed of his property. On taking up his residence permanently with his family in Port Pirie he invested largely in building property in different parts of the town, and was invariably successful in his speculations. He left a widow (a daughter of the late Mr. J R McDonald of Port Pirie), four sons (Messrs. Edgar, William John Robert, and Alfred), resident in Port Pirie and daughters - Mesdames Walton (Adelaide) J Nelson (Port Pirie West) T Frost (Solomontown) and P A Thomas (Western Australia) and Misses Millie and Phoebe Patterson (Port Pirie West). for 41 years he resided in the house in which he died.

PAVY, Phillip c1833 - 26 June 1868
Observer
DEATH OF MR P PAVY It is with much regret (says our Milang correspondent) I have to chronicle the demise, on the 26th ins. of one of the earliest settlers in the township of Milang, Mr Phillip Pavy. Mr Pavy had been for the last nine months engaged in farming at Menineie, and for several months had enjoyed better health than usual. On Wednesday, the 17th, he was taken suddenly and mysteriously ill, the symptoms in some points indicating apoplexy and in others were at variances with that disease. Dr Herbert, of Strathalbyn, was at once telephoned in, and proceeded to Meningie in the Telegraph, mail steamer. On Monday, the 22nd, Mr Pavy was brought over to Milang under the personal care of Dr Herbert, who, until his death, was most attentive and unremitting in his exertions to afford relief. for the last 37 hours of his existence he was in a state of coma, and never once rallied. A postmortem examination was made by Dr. Herbert at the request of the relatives, when the cause of death was found to have been abcess in the brain. Up to his departure for Meningie, the deceased had been a partner in the Milang Mill from its erection 14 years ago, and in that capacity earned for himself a high character for integrity and honourable dealing. As a private friend he was warm-hearted and sociable, ever ready to give his services when they were of any avail to his neighbours; tender hearted as a woman in any case of sorrow or affection. His untimely death in the prime of his days will be keenly felt and mourned for by a very large circle of relatives and friends in whose hearts his memory will ever be enshrined as that of one worthy of the highest regard and esteem. He has left a widow and two children to mourn their ir-repairable loss. The funeral took place on Saturday, and was attended by a large concourse of people, including the principal settlers in this and the adjoining districts.

The news of the death of Mr. E. (Boz.) Pearce, which occurred at Adelaide on Wednesday last, at the early age of 39 years, was received in Burra with intense regret, as he was universally esteemed. Although comparatively a young man Mr. Pearce has always been regarded as a person of absolute reliability, coupled with the strictest integrity, in fact, he was the type of citizen that can ill be spared from any community. He was the third son of Mr. and Mrs Fred Pearce of Redruth, and after leaving school was first employed by Messrs Drew & Crewes after which he started in business for himself at Kooringa, which he later disposed of to Messrs E. J. McKenzie and Co. He then took up estate agency, etc., and was also the secretary of the Oddfellows Lodge. Of a quiet, reserved nature he never took part in public matters and his only sport was tennis. He married Miss Muriel Tiddy, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. M. Tiddy, Maitland, and niece of Mr. and Mrs J. N. Tiddy of Aberdeen. For a long time past Mr Pearce had been seriously ill and during that period he bore his long and painful illness with a wonderful cheerfulness and fortitude. Sincere sympathy is felt for his young wife, little son and daughter, his parents and family in their great loss. The funeral took place on Thursday midday and the immense cortege was evidence of the deep respect in which he was held. As the cortege came into Kooringa it was preceded by the adult members of the Oddfellows Lodge and lined up on either side of the road in front of the Institute were the junior members of the same Lodge. The service at the grave in the absence of the Rev. W. O. Harris, Redruth, was conducted by the Rev. E. Lawson, of Kooringa, and the Lodge service by Bro. W. J. Woollacott and the funeral arrangements by Messrs C. J. Pearce and Son.

The death of Mrs. S. Pearce of Kooringa, reported in our previous issue, removed not only an old resident of Burra and district but an old colonist as she came to South Australia in 1853, in the ship, 'Neptune', the voyage taking six months and two weeks. Mrs. Pearce was born at Exeter, England, in April of 1835, and when only 18 years of age and alone left the Homeland for Australia
with wild and high hopes of speedily becoming wealthy and then to return to the land of her birth. The late John Snell of Kooringa was a fellow passenger. On arrival in Adelaide Miss Moxey as she was then, went to live with a family called Melville but in the following year married Mr Henry Pearce. Their first home was at North Adelaide then later they started off with two bullocks in a dray and went as far as Gawler. Here they stopped for some time and then left for Mintaro and by this time owned four bullocks. After residing at Mintaro for some time they received a serious setback, being burnt out. They lost everything and as they had a young family coming on, the reverse, was the more serious. So great was the loss that neighbours had to even give them clothes for their children. From Mintaro they went to Canowie and kept an eating house. This was.in the old coaching days and Canowie a mail change. Here they stayed for five years and then came to Burra where Mr. Pearce worked in the mines. Giving up mining they then took up land at Mt. Bryan which was afterwards known as the Petherton Estate. Remaining there for five years Mr. Pearce when the Baldina country was cut up, bought land and was one of the first to settle there, in fact, theirs was the first stone house erected out there, the work being done by the late John Pearce of Kooringa. After residing at Baldina for a while they again returned to Mt. Bryan and took up the land which they farmed successfully and on which two of their sons are now living. Twenty eight years ago Mr. and Mrs. Pearce came to Kooringa to reside but Mr. Pearce died in 1901. Although at the time of her death Mrs. Pearce was in her 94th year, she was a wonderfully preserved woman and despite her rough experiences in the early days she never lost a certain dignity of manner which she maintained until the end. Always a great reader she kept herself abreast of the times and until recent years was very fond of sewing and knitting. Naturally her eyesight became somewhat dimmed and towards the evening of her life she had a horror of becoming blind otherwise her faculties were as alert as her children's. Although not too robust the last few years she maintained a sprightliness in walking that would have shamed folk 30 years her junior. Of a family of 13 children, eleven survive, namely : — Mr. W. H. Pearce, Adelaide; Mrs. John Cockrum and Mrs. Sam Pearce, Broken Hill; Messrs Fred and Walter Pearce, Burra; Miss Thurza Pearce, Fullarton; Mr. T. A. Pearce, Mt. Bryan; Mrs. C. G.

Point Sturt July 12th - Mr William Pearce of Poldea, who died lately after 3 days illness, was a colonist of over 60 years, having arrived with his father, Mr Henry Pearce, and his brothers, George and James. Shortly afterwards he settled at Burra, until the gold rush in Victoria, when Mr Pearce went to Adelaide, and got an insight into the blacksmithing trade. Eventually, with his father and brother George, having purchased land at Point Sturt, a pretty spot by the side of Lake Alexandrina, he was successful in farming pursuits. In 1866 Mr Pearce married the eldest daughter of the late John Shipway of Currency Creek. Aborigines for many years erected their wurlies and lived on his property, enjoying the kindness and generosity of Mr and Mrs Pearce. Need for a place of worship was felt among the early settlers and a substantial building - a branch of the Church of Christ - was erected by Mr Pearce, who was for many years the Sunday School Superintendent. He was also chairman of the District Council. Mr Pearce enlarged his holding, and built an up-to-date butter factory, worked first by steam and later by an oil engine. About 5 years ago Mr Pearce purchased the valuable Kimdarian estate for his sons, Messrs A.W. and J.E. Pearce. These, with Mrs Pearce and 6 daughters, survive.

A fatal accident occurred at the Wallaroo Mines on Saturday, the victim being a miner named Robert Penno. It appears that he was skip-filling at the 170-fathom level in Hughes's shaft, when a piece of wood nearly 4 feet long fell down the shaft and struck him on the head. Two or three more pieces about the same also came down immediately afterwards, and one of these which was pointed at the end entered his side, fracturing his ribs and tearing the spinal cord, death being almost instantaneous. Penno fell into the skip pit, which is about 6 feet deep, immediately after the first piece of wood struck him. At an inquest held by Mr. F. W. Garner an attempt was made to ascertain where the falling timber came from, and if anyone was to blame, but there appeared to be no timber of the kind that fell missing from the shaft, nor had anybody seen pieces of such timber lying about anywhere. In fact the whole thing was shrouded in mystery. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and found that "no blame can be attached to anyone," On Sunday the body of Penno was interred in the Kadina Cemetery. The funeral procession was headed by about 300 of the Miners' Association, of which the deceased was a member. Penno was about 30 years of age and married, but has left no family. Some years ago his father was rendered totally blind by an explosion at the Wallaroo Mines.

Burra Record Wednesday 11 January 1928
Mrs. Penrose who passed away at Kadina on the 16th December at the age of 81 years was the mother of Mr L. S. Penrose of Kooringa, and in her girlhood lived in Burra. Born in the city of London in 1846 she sailed for Australia with her uncle and aunt in
1854 arriving at Port Adelaide early the following year. With her relatives she came to Burra where her guardians obtained a position on one of the eastern sheep stations. They later returned to Burra where her uncle, Mr. Francis Cross, was for some considerable time caretaker and librarian of the Burra Institute. Mrs Penrose used to relate how well she remembered the arrival in Burra of the survivor of the Bourke and Wills expedition with the relief party and how weak and emaciated they looked. Mrs. Penrose was twice married. Her first husband was Mr. John Boundy whom she married in 1865 of whom one son, Mr. John Boundy of Kadina and a daughter, Mrs. M. Johnson of Broken Hill, survive. She afterwards married Mr. Richard Penrose at Moonta in 1882 of which one son survives Mr. L. S. Penrose: of Kooringa. A coincidence is that when Mr. Penrose obtained his present position with Messrs Drew and Crewes found that his predecessor, Mr. Bill Edwards, was his mother's nephew. Mr. Penrose predeceased .his wife several years ago, but just before Mr. Penrose sen. death they visited the Burra and were for a while the guests of their son and the Rev. A. J. Finch, Kooringa, and had the pleasure of renewing their acquaintance with many old Burra friends.

DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST.
One of the earliest colonists of South Australia, Mr. J. N. Perry, of South Terrace, Adelaide, died on Wednesday, after a brief illness, at the age of 78 years. He came to South Australia with, his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. J. Perry, in the ship Asia in 1839. He was born at Devonport Dock, Plymouth, England, on February 14, 1835. When the Pulteney Street school was opened a few years after his arrival he was entered as one of its first scholars, and upon the completion of his education he engaged in the grocery trade. Later on the Victorian goldfields attracted his attention, and. accompanied by his brother George, who died some years ago, the late Mr. Perry spent some time in the search for the precious metal. The brothers' efforts were attended with a good deal of success, as from one claim on the Bendigo field they obtained a 120-lb. nugget. Shortly after his return to Adelaide in 1852 he proceeded to the Echunga goldfield, and later on the brothers went back to Bendigo. In 1855 he returned once more to Adelaide and began storekeeping, but four years later he went afield again to search for gold, his attention this time being directed to the Snowy River district of Gippsland (Victoria), but he did not stay there long. In 1870 he went into business again at the corner of Pirie and Ackland streets, and remained there till 1888 when he moved farther west in Pirie-street. There he and his wife celebrated their golden wedding in 1908. The deceased had always taken an interest in Sunday School work, and, attached to St. John's Church of England, he gave long service as a teacher. For many years also he was a member of the church choir. In 1857 he joined the 'Foresters' Lodge, and was a foundation member of the Sir James Ferguson, UA.O.D., Lodge. He was also identified with the Albion and Sir William Robinson lodges. For considerably over 30 years military matters claimed his attention. In 1858 he became a member of the Adelaide Military Forces, joining No, 1 Company of Artillery, of which he became sergeant-major. This force was disbanded in 1870, owing to the refusal ol Parliament to vote money for its maintenance, but Sergeant-Major Perry was one of 25 artillerymen who were retained to provide a guard of honour when one was required. When the Russian war scare took place the troops were reorganised. The artillery were again brought into commission, though the strength was limited to 100 men, including the original 25. There were 200 applicants for .the positions, and Sergeant-Major Perry's name headed the list of accepted candidates. In 1882 he was promoted to the rank of brigade sergeant-major, and in 1891 he retired with the rank of lieutenant. For many years he was a prominent figure at the Glenelg commemoration gatherings, where he had the opportunity to fraternise with 4 other early colonists and exchange experiences.
In several interviews published in "The Advertiser" he related some of the difficulties that confronted early settlers, and he took pride in reflecting on the remarkable progress of Adelaide and the State since the days when, with large numbers of other immigrants, his parents pitched their camp in Immigration square, just beyond West terrace. Their first residence, he used to tell his shearers, was in Leigh-street. Subsequently his parents purchased a small block of land in Pirie-street, on a site now occupied by Messre. Graves, Hill, & Co’s stables. The late Lieutenant Perry had a fine, upright carriage, notwithstanding his advanced age. His widow survives him, but there is no family

In our obituary of to-day occurs the name of Mr. H(enry). W(illiam). Peryman, a useful colonist of many years' standing. He filled for some time the office of City Surveyor, and he also carried on a very extensive business as a builder. Amongst those of his works which will long stand as a monument of his good workmanship we may mention the Wesleyan Chapel, Pirie-street, which he built. His son, we may also remark, erected the large Wesleyan Chapel, Archer street, North Adelaide. Latterly he has been cultivating his farm at Highercombe, till failing health compelled him to give this up, since which he has been living altogether at his residence, Tynte-street, North Adelaide. He was a man of great information, sound practical knowledge, and active habits. Notwithstanding the encroachment of disease, he would not allow his mind to be at rest. A short time ago he gained the second premium, for the best design for damming the Torrens, and at the time of his decease he was engaged upon the compilation of an essay upon the subject of draining the city, for which the Corporation a month or so ago offered premiums. As a man and as a friend he was greatly esteemed, his conduct being guided by truly Christian principles, which manifested themselves in his daily life and actions. The deceased was in his 60th year. The remains of the late Mr. Peryman were interred in the Walkerville Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, June 21. There were between 30 and 40 persons, mostly friends of the deceased, present at the funeral, including Messrs. J. W. Peryman (son of the deceased), D.

DEATH OF DR. J. PHILLIPS
The death is announced of Dr. James Phillips, one of the oldest medical practitioners in Australia. The deceased gentleman obtained his diplomas from the Royal College of Surgeons and the Society of Apothecaries in London so long ago as 1813, so that he had been a duly qualified medical practitioner for 60 years. He came to Adelaide in the early days, and for a number of years was associated in the practice of his profession with the late Dr. Mayo, one of the most highly-respected of the pioneers of medicine in this city. Dr. Phillips, who had not practised for some years, resided on North-terrace, next to the Adelaide Club, where his death occurred early on Tuesday morning. He was a great friend of the late Dr. Morgan Thomas, and was a well known figure in the city until he retired into private life. Dr. Phillips was greatly esteemed by all who knew him, and years ago he had a most extensive practice in Adelaide. To the present generation of patients, however, he was comparatively unknown. He took a deep interest in everything affecting the honor and the advancement of his profession, and kept himself well abreast of the developments of modern science. Although an old man, Dr. Phillips retained his upright bearing and his characteristic look of alertness to the last, while his mental faculties were as keen as ever. His death will make one more melancholy gap in the ranks of the oldest colonists of the State. Shortly after taking his degree Dr. Phillips came out to South Australia, and settled down to practice. At the time of his death he was in his 82nd year. He retired from practice ten years ago, and had lived a quiet, reserved life ever since. His wife and one daughter (Mrs. S. K. Ellison) died some time ago, but the son, who is in England, and four daughters (Mrs. E. W. O'Halloran, Mrs. Singleton, Mrs. J. C. Hawker, and Mrs. E. W. Howard) survive. At one period the deceased gentleman held a position at the Adelaide Hospital, and was also a medical visitor to the Lunatic Asylum. The cause of death was old age.

following information from a gentleman at Blanchetown: —" It is with the greatest sorrow that the inhabitants of Blanchetown have to
announce the death of an old and esteemed fellow-colonist, Mr. W. N. Potter. The cause of death appears to have been an internal complaint, under which he has been for some time labouring, and for which, after his removal to Adelaide, he was placed under the skilful hands of Drs.

The deceased gentleman had for some time past acted at this port as Custom-House and general agent, and by his uniform kindness had gained the esteem of all who had the pleasure of his Acquaintance. To him the township is indebted for many improvements for the facilities of trade, and the settlers in general around will bear willing testimony to his interest on their behalf. Mr. Potter will also be remembered as connected with the Murray shipping trade from its earliest
commencement. He leaves a widow and a large young family to lament their loss."

After remaining in the navy for some years I left the service, and through a disagreement with my father, in which I alone was to blame, I came to the Colonies and was married". The writter concluded by referring to Sir John Morphett as being able to substantiate what he said. During the last 10 years Mr. Prettejohn had been a great sufferer from Rheumatism, being prevented altogether from engaging in any kind of employment, and for several months before his death he was confined to bed, suffering at times the greatest of agony.

PUDDY, Isaac died 09 November 1905
Advertiser Friday 10 November 1905
Mr. Isaac Puddy died at the age of 85 years at Mill-terrace west, North Adelaide, on Thursday evening. The cause of death
was heart failure. For 21 years, in the early period of the South Australian railways, Mr. Puddy was very prominent, but of late
he had led a retired life. He was the first superintendent of the line to Port Adelaide, and later his duties included the oversight of the railway to Kapunda, and his services were sometimes specially called into requisition as far as the Burra. His keen perception as a railway expert, more particularly in the permanent way department, brought him into prominence, and his advice was frequently sought after and acted upon by his superior officers, who recognised his great natural abilities. It is not generally known that much of the Adelaide station yard was in the early history of the railway made up with sand from Alberton, brought by ballast trains, under Mr. Puddy's supervision, between the running of passenger trains during the day and also by, night trains. He was born in Somersetshire in 1820, and came to South Australia in 1855. After leaving the railway service he was engaged in laying tram lines, road making, and in superintending the laying of the Holdfast Bay roadway. He was one of the founders of the Peace Lodge, U.A.O.D., in 1856, and of the Albert Lodge of the same order 35 years ago. For a number of years he was honorary treasurer of both lodges. Mr. Puddy for nearly two years resided at Norwood, and then at Bowden, and for the past 40 years he had lived at North Adelaide. His wife died 21 years ago. He left one son (Mr. A. Puddy, of Hindmarsh), one daughter, and eight grandchildren.
