Advertiser Monday 25 June 1917
Mr. Frank Adams, a remarkable old identity of the hills district, was found in the scrub at Upper Sturt on Wednesday, in
a low condition, and was removed to a house nearby, where he was attended by Dr. Dawkins, who ordered his removal to
the Adelaide Hospital. He died, however, before he could be sent. For over 33 years Mr. Adams, who was 75 years of age
when he died, had lived an entirely out-door life, never entering a house except on two occasions, once when he was severely
troubled with rheumatism and after lying helpless for two or three days, was removed by the police to the Adelaide Hospital. The other occasion was when he became ill. He used to frequent the scrub surrounding Upper Sturt, Ironbank, Cherry Gardens, and Belair, although of recent years he seldom went beyond Upper Sturt. He was well known to the residents, who often, without avail, offered him shelter and tried to induce him to live more at ease. He had independent means, and procured the necessaries of life from a grocer's cart which regularly visited the neighbourhood. His chief sustenance was bread, tinned meat, and fruit. He was never known to light a fire, and took all his food cold. Mr. Adams was a great reader, procuring books through neighbours, and was particularly fond of pictures. He would converse with those whom he considered friendly towards him, and who treated him rationally, but if he thought he was made fun of or considered eccentric he would disappear in the bush. He was generous with his money, and on one occasion gave a young lady collector for a patriotic fund a pound note. Unlike most nomads he had not even a dog to keep him company. Has great hobby was writing papers, principally on philosophy, which he left about for anyone to take and read. He never intentionally injured any one, although some may have been startled by his appearance when wandering in the bush.

He leaves a widow and a family of sons and daughters, most of whom are grown up.

Advertiser Thursday 9 November 1905
The death of the Rev. James Allen occurred at his residence at Malvern on Wednesday morning. He had been a well-known minister of the Methodist Church for 45 years. The first circuit was at Goolwa, where he was stationed in 1862. Afterwards he carried out ministerial duties at Gumeracha, Kapunda (twice), Clarendon (twice), Mount Gambier, Willunga, Goolwa, Mount Barker (twice), Jamestown, and Port Adelaide. He was stationed in the Pirie-street circuit in 1871, and again from 1893 to 1895, while he was in the Port Adelaide circuit from 1890 to 1892. He was chairman of a district from 1884 to 1886, when he was at Jamestown, and again in 1892 while stationed at Port Adelaide. In 1892 he was appointed president of the Wesleyan Methodist Conference, and was ex officio president of Prince Alfred College at the same time. Mr. Allen was at Yankalilla from 1900 to 1902, and then went to Virginia for one year. Afterwards he proceeded to Redruth with the intention of remaining there for two years, but when he had been in the Redruth circuit about l8 months he was taken seriously ill, and had to leave that district. He travelled a little in one of the other States for the benefit of his health. His condition improved for a time, but six months ago he suffered a relapse, and it was thought his end was near. However, he rallied again, and although it was not anticipated that he would enter into active church work again, it was thought he would live for some time. He went to Malvern in March to spend the remaining days of his life quietly, with his family, and the end came rather suddenly. Mr. Allen was earnest and faithful preacher, and was greatly beloved and trusted by both the ministers and the members of the church. Unselfishness was one of his attractive characteristics, and he displayed great self-sacrifice while rendering valuable services in cases of sickness and poverty. Besides his widow, he left four sons and two daughters. The eldest son is Bernard Allen, H.Sc., Acting director of Education in Western Australia. Mr. H. Allen, a Civil servant; in Adelaide, is a son of the deceased, and there is another, son in the Civil Service in South Africa. The youngest son, Mr. J. H.

DEATH OF MR. J. R. ANDERSON
A DISTINGUISHED ADVOCATE.
Widespread regret was felt throughout the city on Monday afternoon when it became known that Mr. J. R. Anderson. K.C, had died shortly after 1 o'clock at Ru Rua Hospital, of which institution he had been an inmate for several weeks. He was one of the best known figures in Adelaide for many years, and his death will be a distinct loss to the community. His many friends were unaware until his removal to Ru Rua that he was not in the enjoyment of his usual good health, and it was with pained surprise that they learned some weeks ago that his condition was serious. For several days he was in a critical state, but subsequently the reports indicated that he was slightly better, and it was hoped that before long he would be restored to his health. The improvement was maintained for some little time, and his indomitable courage was an inspiration to those who were privileged to see him occasionally in the later stages of his illness. He evinced a deep interest in current events right up till a few days ago, when he took a turn for the worse, and it became apparent to his medical adviser, Dr. W. R. Cavenagh-Mainwaring, that the end was not far off. Enquirers and callers at the hospital on Monday morning were advised of the change, but even they were hardly prepared for the sad news of his death early in the afternoon.
Mr. Anderson, who was born in Adelaide on June 12, 1864, was the son of the late Mr. James Anderson, a colonist of 1848. He had a brilliant scholastic career, and as a distinguished member of the legal profession, he built up a large and lucrative business. His education began in the Grote-street Public School, where he won a Government exhibition, tenable for three years. In 1877 he entered Prince Alfred College, and passed several University examinations, besides gaining the Colton scholarship as well as other distinctions at the college. In January, 1881, Mr. Anderson was articled to the late Sir John Bray. At about this time he took a great interest in the work of literary societies, and at the first Literary Societies Union competition he was awarded first prize for an essay on federation. He also gained prizes for essays on legal subjects in competitions open to articled clerks He obtained the degree of bachelor of laws at the University in 1884, and was admitted to the bar in the following year. He then commenced practice as a solicitor, and in 1886 was joined by Mr. R. C. Castle, with whom he remained in partnership for several years. In 1896 he became a member of the firm of Gordon, Bright, & Anderson. On Sir John Gordon's elevation to the bench Mr. Anderson started in practice on his own account, but a few years ago he entered into partnership with Mr. J. L. Gordon, under the business title of Anderson & Gordon. For some years he practised in Unity Chambers, Currie-street, but latterly had offices at the corner of King William and Waymouth streets.

ASTLES, John Westwood died 18 September 1904
Advertiser Monday 19 September 1904
Dr. John Westwood Astles, a, medical man who was well known in Adelaide, died at Largs Bay on Sunday morning after, a long illness. He was a nephew of Dr. H. E. Astles, formerly a resident of this city, and he took his degrees as bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery at Edinburgh University in 1885. Dr. Astles, on returning to Adelaide took the practice of his uncle, who had gone to Victoria, and is now in Western Australia. He lived in the house formerly occupied by Dr. Gunson, in Angas-street, and for a time was associated with the late Dr. O'Connell. When the hospital trouble occurred he was one of the first doctors to volunteer to assist the Government in carrying on the work of the institution. He was appointed senior resident medical officer, and afterwards acted as medical superintendent, but was seized with, a stroke of paralysis about two years ago, and retired, he had since been a hopeless invalid, while for some time before his death he was quite blind. The doctor was very popular with those who knew him well, as he was an excellent raconteur, and, having a splendid voice and good dramatic abilities, could sing a fine comic song. His rendering of "Father O'Flynn.'' it is said, was something well worth remembering. Dr. Astles was about 45 years of age, and was a widower.

Advertiser Tuesday 23rd January 1917
Mrs. Lavinia Aunger, of Koolunga, will be 91 years of age on January 31. She was born at Alternun, in Cornwall, on January 31, 1826, and came to South Australia with her parents (the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Hooper) and 10 other children-seven girls and three boys-in the 'Isabela Watson, in 1846. One child was born on the voyage, which occupied 122 days. From the time of landing till her marriage, three months later to the Late Mr. Simon Aunger, who was also a passenger on the same boat, Mrs. Aunger was living on the site where Messrs. Foy & Gibson's establishment now stands. She and her, late husband were engaged on various farms with the exception of a brief period spent at the Callington mines-until the rush to the gold diggings in Victoria. Mr. Aunger was smitten with the gold fever, and went to try his fortune. He met with considerable success. On returning to South Australia he was engaged in carting on the Port-road. In 1856 he started farming on the Bremer, and there the family lived till 1878, when they moved to Koolunga. After the, death of her husband in 1885 Mrs Aunger spent about two years in Clare, but latterly she has been living in retirement at Koolunga. Seven of her nine children still survive.

There are 37 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren. Mrs Aunger is a member of the Methodist Church, with which she has been identified for a great many years. Though she is incapacitated in some measure by fading strength, her intellect is still wonderfully clear, and she is able by means of the daily paper to keep abreast of the times. Notwithstanding her 91 years, she still takes a keen interest in everything that pertains to the welfare of the district in which she lives, as well as in the affairs of the Commonwealth.
