Mr. J. G. M. Dahlke. -Mr. Dahlke's sojourn in South Australia has had a very melancholy termination. He had intended to leave for
Melbourne by the Aldinga on Tuesday. June 16, after handing over his filtering apparatus to the Surveyor-Genera), but subsequently made up his mind to wait and go by the Penola in order he might have an opportunity of giving full explanations to Mr. Goyder. On Tuesday evening he conversed with a gentleman at the Globe, expressing regret that his experiments should have been represented as a failure, and avowed his thorough belief in the efficiency of his process. He made an appointment with the gentleman in question to meet him next morning, but when he arrived, between 9 and 10 o'clock, he found him dead in his bed. It is not known what time he retired to rest, but when seen about 6 o'clock in the evening he appeared strong and healthy as usual. When found in the morning he was lying on his side without exhibiting any signs of spasms, the bedclothes over him being smooth and undisturbed. As soon as the sad tidings of his death had been conveyed to the Coroner Dr. Spicer was instructed to make a post mortem examination of the body. He ascertained that Mr. Dahlke had died from effusion of fluid into the pericardium, the
result of pericarditis complicated with fatty degeneration of the heart, or, in common phraseology, that death had resulted from disease of the heart. This being the case, the Coroner thought it unnecessary that an inquest should be held. The deceased
whilst in Adelaide represented his name to be J. G. Dalilke. He stated that he was born in London, his father being German and his mother English. When about six months old he went with his parents to Stettin, in Germany, his father's native place. He was educated in Germany, where he discovered a new plan of filtration, for which he took out a patent. He was one of the Commissioner of the Zollverein at the International Exhibition of 1862. About 12 months ago he arrived in Melbourne, and entered into business with a partner at Williamstown. Several weeks ago he came to Adelaide from Mr. Staughton's station on the Darling, where he is reported to have been successful in his experiments to freshen salt water by means of filtration. He had intended proceeding by the first steamer to Melbourne, but he was induced to stay and demonstrate the value of his process on its being understood that the expenses of the experiment would be paid. The issue of his stay here is well known. He has been lodging at the Globe, where he has been quiet and unassuming in his manners and template in his habits. According to his own account, he left a young wife and children in London, who were to follow him out to Australia. His age was apparently about 40 years.

Mr. S. L. Dawkins, who died at Brighton on Saturday, at the age of 88, arrived in South Australia two years after the province was proclaimed. He was born at Leamington, in Warwickshire, in 1836, and when he was two years of age his parent's sailed from London in the ship Asia. They arrived at Holdfast Bay after a voyage of six months, and resided at Hindmarsh and North Adelaide. Both his father and future father-in-law were associated with the Ridleys in the manufacture of the first wheat stripper at Hindmarsh. The family acquired a good deal of land in what is now the centre of North Adelaide, but disposed of it in 1848 to buy property at the Gawler River when it was first sold by the Government. The family began farming on their section, and were very successful. Wheat was at one time a guinea
a bushel, and flour coat £6 a bag. In 1861 Mr. Dawkins married Miss Wilkinson, and took up the Newbold farm. He served both as councillor and chairman of the Mudla Wirra South District Council, and took a prominent part in the public life of the district. He was a worker in connection with the Stonehill Church, and served over 40 years as superintendent of the Sunday-school. About six years ago
he retired, and had since lived at Brighton. His diamond wedding, which was celebrated in 1921, was remarkable for the fact that several generations gathered together, and that all the children were living and all were present. Mr. Dawkins was a prominent figure at the Commemoration Day celebrations, and two years ago replied to the toast of the old colonist on their behalf. He left a widow and seven
children—Messrs. A. M., J. H., and W. J. Dawkins, Gawler River, and Dr. S. L. Dawkhns, Adelaide: and Mra. A. J. Bray, Oakland; Mrs. Roediger and Miss I. Dawkins, Brighton. There is also a brother, Mr. W. Dawkins, Gawler and a sister, Mrs. T. Lloyd, North Adelaide.

The death is announced, at the age of 89 years, of Mr. Edward Dewhirst, who was for a lengthened period senior inspector of schools under the South Australian Education Department, and who latterly been living in retirement at Nairne. His death occurred at about a quarter to 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. J. L. Parsons, "Botathan'' Kensington, and was due to his great age. He was unconscious for several days prior to his death. The deceased was a man of wide reading, and retained a memory of the Odes of Horace and the poetry, of Virgil, which he could quote in the original Latin practically up to the time of his death. He was formerly a Congregational minister in South Australia. He left a widow and three sons- Mr.- E.N. Dewhirst, the highly respected manager of the National Bank at Port Adelaide; Mr. T. Y. Dewhirst, the Government electrician; and Mr. C. H. Dewhirst, chief clerk in the office of the Commissioner of Public Works. Mrs. J. L. Parsons, widow, of the Hon. J. L. Parsons, and Mrs. H. .Hayes Norman, are daughters. Mr. Dewhirst was born in 1815 at Bury St. Edmonds,-a quaint old town in Suffolk, containing some ancient specimens of early Norman and church architecture. The Norman tower here was built before the year 1100, and is in an excellent state of preservation, while the old abbey gate is still intact, and one of the finest illustrations of that class of architecture to be 'found in England. The deceased received his education at King Edward-VI Grammar school in that town, and to that establishment he owed his extensive knowledge of classics. He studied for four or five years for the medical profession afterwards paying a visit to Jamaica, in the West Indies, where he remained for about three years. On returning to England he became a student at Homerton College, a Nonconformist institution, under Dr. Pye Smith, with the object of becoming a minister. He finally settled down in Australia in 1853, in Victoria first, and two years later in South Australia. Both in Melbourne and Adelaide he had charge of Baptist churches. For a while he was a classical master at Mr. J. L. Young's school, and then he joined the literary staff of the Register, severing his connection with that paper two years afterwards to become second inspector of schools in this State. This appointment he accepted in August, I860, and resigned jn June, 1891. In this sphere of his useful life , Mr. Dewhirst won the confidence and highest esteem of all the teachers. Of course in those days the public schools system was comparatively limited. Upon the appointment of the late Mr. J A. Hartley, to the post of Inspector-General Mr. Dewhirst was made senior inspector, the late Dr. Wyatt haying resigned. Always retaining a loyal attachment to the early, traditions of the public schools system, Mr. Dewhirst seemed to be of opinion that in later years efforts were made to teach the children too much without due regard being paid to thoroughness. He inherited from his father a great liking for gardening, and was passionately fond of flowers, and an excellent judge of arboriculture in general. He was always an ardent lover of cricket, having played it at college before Queen Victoria came to the throne, and he was an interested spectator at the test match played von the Adelaide Oval two years ago. A most genial man, he was noted for being a capital conversationalist, and possessed a stock of caustic humour, whilst he enjoyed a joke at his own expense most heartily. Right up to the last he retained an interest in the affairs of the world that was remarkable.

The death of Dr. H. Dixon, of Brisbane, and formerly of Adelaide, removes one who in his time played many parts, and not always with the success which so enterprising a man deserved. Dr. Dixon, was originally intended for the ministry of the
Congregational Church, and had commenced his studies at Rotherhara College, but his brother, the late Rev.

By the death of Mr. William Augustus Du Rieu, at a private hospital at North Adelaide on Tuesday evening, one of the oldest and best known colonists of South Australia has been removed. The deceased had attained his 86th year, and for about 10 years had lived in retirement. He came from England to South Australia in the ship Planter in May, 1839, at the age of nine years. Travelling up and down the Port road he “met his fate” in the person of Miss Celia Rennison, and they were married in Trinity Church by the Very Rev. Dean Farrell. They lived in Adelaide for a little while, and subsequently moved to Willunga, where most of their family of sons was born. After many years in Willunga the family lived in various other parts of the State. It used to be the boast of Mr. John Hill that the smartest whip he ever knew was Mr. Du Rieu, who, in his day, had not his equal in Australia. For 12 years the “Old Whip,” as he was popularly known in his early days, was on the Adelaide to Willunga road, and upon his arrival at the latter town Mr. John Hart used to pick up his passengers and convey, them to Port Elliot. Many South Australians will recall the reminiscences which the genial coachman so interestingly recounted on his journeys. For a decade deceased drove a coach over the Port road between the city and the Port, and continued his trips along that route for 12 months after the opening of the railway. In those days a popular saying of the residents of the seaport was, “We’ll save time and come up on Billy Du Rieu’s coach.” A lovable type of man, who used to exhibit a remarkable affection for the horses under his care, and among his favourites were a pair of bays called “Peter” and “Currency Creek.” Whenever the deceased drove picnic parties for Hill & Co., 10 and 12 horses in a team, it was said that the two animals mentioned used to understand their master like human beings. After, having abandoned the road, Mr. Du Rieu engaged in hotelkeeping at Clare and the Semaphore, in both of which centres he was greatly esteemed. He has left a family of four sons.

DUNN, John died 13 October 1894
DEATH OF MR. JOHN DUNN. IN HIS NINETY-THIRD YEAR. SOMETHING OF THE OLD DAYS. The venerable and highly respected colonist, Mr. John Dunn, of Mount Barker, died as his residence, The Laurels, in that town, on Saturday afternoon, October 13, in the ninety-third year of his age, after an uninterrupted association with the colony of more than half a century. The passing away of the aged pioneer was not unexpected, for Mr. Dunn's health had been in a precarious state for a long while; indeed a year or two ago there was every sign of his end approaching. He rallied, but his feebleness unmistakably indicated that he could not last long, and on Saturday he peacefully expired. Thus, full of years, he has been gathered to his fathers, leaving a name for integrity, for benevolence, and for good works that will remain on the histories roll of our honest and sturdy independent old pioneers. |
constructed in Australia. That name will also be remembered because Mr. Dunn was the first in this province to grind corn into flour by a systematic and scientific process. South Australia had not long been proclaimed a British colony when Mr. Dunn arrived here from England. He was born in the Parish of Bondleigh, Devon, on February 13, 1802. His father was a small farmer with nine sons and two daughters. Father and mother were both frugal and hardworking, as indeed they had to be, for those were hard times. Having received very little schooling at the age of ten he was a farm servant earning 6d. a week. Milling, however, was his fancy, and after seven years' apprenticeship he became manager of a steam mill at Bideford, Devon, at 15s. a week. In 1831 he married ; in 1836 he owned a flourmill and added farming to his pursuits, and in May, 1S40, he sailed in the ship Lysander for South Australia, where three of his brothers had settled— Charles, who founded Charleston, and died at the age of eighty-six, and George and James, who settled on the Onkaparinga. A fourth brother, William, came out in 1841, and a sister, the late Mrs. Paltridge, arrived in 1846. Mr. John Dunn's parents followed their children very soon, and died, the father, Mr. Charles Dunn, at eighty two, and the mother at eighty-three. The Lysander anchored in the waters off Glenelg on September 6, 1840. Mr. Dunn first worked in South Australia for Messrs. Borrow &. Goodiar. Next he purchased land near his brother's property at Hay Valley. In 1842 he was an agriculturist and dairy farmer, and walked over the hills to the primitive city with butter, returning with goods purchased with the money he obtained for the produce. At Hay Valley he erected his first flour windmill. 'But I soon saw,' he remarked, ' that waiting for the wind was not a profitable occupation, and so I ordered a small steam-engine from England.' While waiting for this he engaged himself to the late Mr. Ridley, whom he helped to construct the famous Ridley reaper, which he worked on Mr. D. McFarlane's land at Mount Barker. Mr. Dunn waited about eighteen months before the engine he had ordered arrived, and then he erected it at Mount Barker and had a pair of millstones fixed. 'It was not all smooth sailing in those days, 'he said. 'On one occasion I had to work from morning till night, from daylight till dark, snatching a few hours' sleep in tho engine boiler and then back to work again in the early morning. When I had got the engine partly together the pair stones were found to be furrowed the wrong way. I had to remedy this. I did not spend one hour of daylight in doing so, but after ordinary hours I worked by the light of a lump of grease stuck in a bit of wood.' These were some of the experiences of the old days at Mount Barker. Mr. Dunn ground the first grain and established the well-known firm which bears his name. Then South Australia was the only wheat producing colony in the Australias, and Ridley's, Dunn's, Hart's, Magarey's, and other brands of flour were sent to the other colonies. The milling and grain business grew with the advancing colony, until the firm have now eleven steam flour mills, five of which are fitted with the most modern roller machinery, and they export to all parts of the world. Messrs. Dunn and Co. have between sixty and seventy agencies for the purchase of grain. Directly and indirectly 400 employes in the colony are engaged by Dunn & Co., to say nothing of the numerous agencies doing business outside South Australia. About 60,000 tons of wheat and flour is exported in a good season by Dunn & Co., whose flour finds a ready sale in New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the Pacific Islands, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and elsewhere. In time Mr. Dunn admitted his two sons (both of whom are dead) into partnership. In 1852 he was joined by his elder son, the late Mr. John Dunn, jun., who retired in 1862 to engage in mission work in the South Seas. Two years later, however, the son returned and resumed partnership, and at about the same time the second son, the late Mr. W. H. Dunn, the late Mr. W. Hill (son-in-law), and the late Mr. G. Shorney (brother-in-law) joined the firm. Mr. W. H. Dunn left about 1875 to farm in the North, and the remaining partnership was continued until it was disturbed by the death of Mr. Hill in 1885 and of Mr. Shorney in 1891. The founder of the firm, however, retired from the business in 1889. Mr. John Dunn, jun., was thus left as head of the firm. He died in February, 1892. Three of the present members of the firm— Messrs. F. W., A.C, and E. A. A. Dunn—grandsons of Mr. John Dunn, sen., were admitted towards the end of the eighties, and they have since been joined by Mr. H. A. Dunn, another brother, who represents the firm in Brisbane. The founder of the business stated not long ago with considerable pride that the firm had 'always been known as John Dunn & Co., and not one shilling of outside money has ever helped on the business. No one outside of my own family has ever had a share in the concern as partners, although, of oourse, as its dimensions increased we took into our employ gentlemen whom we consulted on matters of trade.' This is the jubilee year of the foundation of the firm, which was started on April 30, 1844. The jubilee was fittingly commemorated by a demonstration at Mount Barker on August 1st last, when the final act of shutting off steam from the machinery in the mill started fifty years before was touchingly symbolical of the practical close of the nonogenarian's connection with the sordid affairs of life. On the occasion of his eightieth birthday Mr. Dunn was presented by the employes of the firm with a congratulatory address, which he very highly prized. After forty-five years uninterrupted connection with the enterprise he retired from the firm in May, 1889, and was again presented with an address by his employes, who journeyed to his home at Mount Barker specially to honour their former chief. That address was expressive of their regret at his leaving them and of their appreciation of the fairness and liberality which had always characterized him as an employer. It was intended to celebrate by a public demonstration Mr. Dunn's attainment of the anniversary of his ninetieth year, but in consequence of the lamentable death of his son the function was postponed until April 2 of the same year. On that date Mount Barker's nonagenarian townsman fulfilled a long-expressed wish of making monetary gifts to a number of his employes who were with the firm when he retired, and also of presenting to the townspeople the land near the railway station known as Dunn Park for public recreation purposes. Mr. Dunn handed cheques to his employes, the amounts varying according to the recipient's length of service. Accompanying each cheque was a letter worded as follows : — Dear Sir- Providence having this day permitted me to celebrate in health and strength my ninetieth birthday, I think it a fitting occasion as one of my last public acts to acknowledge that any success I may have gained while at the head of the firm of John Dunn & Co. was to a considerable extent, due to my having had at all times many faithful co-workers in this business. In recognition of your valuable services and as a token of my esteem I ask you to accept the accompanying cheque, and I trust that your future will be brightened by this acknowledgment, of the successful endeavours you have made to do your duty.— Yours faithfully, John Dunn. Like both his sons, Mr. Dunn served in the Legislature of this colony. Mr. John Dunn, jun., represented Barossa in the House of Assembly from 1875 to 1877, and from 1880 to 1888 he sat in the Legislative Council; the younger son sat throughout the eighth Parliament for Onkaparinga. For some years Mr. John Dunn, sen., was Chairman of the Mount Barker District Council, and on March 9, 1857, he was returned with Mr. F. E. H. W. Krichauff, lately of the Legislative Council, to represent Mount Barker in the Assembly at the first elections after the granting of responsible government. Mr. Krichauff and his colleague used to trudge on foot from Mount Barker in those days up wards of twenty miles to attend the sittings of the House. Mr. Krichauff resigned his seat on March 12, 1858, and was succeeded by Mr. William Rogers (still living), who was elected on September 16. There are now only about a dozen survivors of those who served in the first House of Assembly, and only ten of the members who constituted the first Assembly on April 22, 1857. In the second Parliament (assembled April 27, 1860) Mr. Dunn had the late Hon. B. T. Finniss as his colleague. On November 24, 1862, he was returned head of the poll at the third general elections, with the late Mr. Allan McFarlane as junior member. Mr. McFarlane died in March, 1864, and Mr. Rogers was once more elected. In the fourth Parliament, assembled March 31, 1865, and dissolved March 26, 1868, Mr. James Rankine sat with Mr. Dunn, who was, however, out of the fifth Parliament upon its meeting on July 31, 1868, the elect of Mount Barker being Mr. John Cheriton and Mr. W. Rogers. Both these members were unseated by the Court of Disputed Returns on August 12. A fresh election took place on September 3, when Mr. Cheriton was re-elected, and Mr. Rogers had to make way for Mr. Dunn, but only for a very brief period, as on October 13 Mr. Dunn's election was declared void, and he was again superseded by Mr. Rogers. The charge was brought against Mr. Dunn that he paid the election expenses of railway workmen electors of Mount Barker who were out of the district, and were brought to vote for him. Mr. Dunn denied to his dying day that he or any of his people paid the electioneering expenses. On March 19, 1869, the Father of Mount Barker was sent to the Upper House by the whole colony voting as one district. The late Hons. John Baker, J. H. Barrow, and T. English (previously in the Council), Sir William Milne, and Messrs. A. B. Murray and Augustine Stow were elected to the Legislative Council on the same day. After nearly eight years' useful and faithful service Mr. Dunn retired from the Legislative Council by rotation on February 2, 1877, and from public life. Altogether he represented his country in Parliament about twenty years. South Australia cannot forget its early legislators — intelligent, shrewd, practical, honest men, with plenty of backbone most of them. Mr. John Dunn was one of this class. He may not have distinguished himself by originating any striking reforms, but as in com mercial life so in politics, he was always trusted, and the colony was all the better for his service in the legislative halls. As a speaker and a worker he was quiet and sensible. It was said of him—' He gave his practical advice and was done with it.' His retirement even at the age of seventy-five, while enjoying the confidence of the electors, was regretted, for he brought a ripened experience and an irreproachable character to bear upon his dealings in the Senate. He, however, disapproved of a monopoly of political service, and retired in favour of younger men. Most of his Parliamentary contemporaries have long since joined the great majority. Of the present Parliament the Hons. G. C. Hawker, J. Martin, R. C. Baker, and H. R. Fuller are the only members who sat with the late Mr. Dunn when he was in the Legislature. It fell to his fortune to assist in the passage of Torrens's Real Property Act, and proud indeed was the venerable colonist of the fact of his being in Parliament at that time. He also endeavoured with others in the early Parliamentary days to sanction the reading of the Bible in the public schools.
Ever since his arrival in the colony Mr. Dunn had been identified with the Wesleyan Methodist Church. He was essentially a God fearing man, and gave many practical proofs of his earnest piety. The Wesleyan Church at Mount Barker, which bears his name and was opened in September, 1884, was his free gift to the denomination, it having been built at a cost, including a handsome organ, of about £4,000. Truly his services to the Methodist and other Churches cannot be forgotten. A row of eight cottages which he built and endowed to accommodate the poor and give comfort to the aged at Mount Barker, and situated not far from his own home, where in affluence he spent the later years of his life, is a lasting monument of his care for others. Shortly before his death Mr. Dunn ordered the erection of additional Salem cottages, which are now being built. Mr. Dunn leaves a widow (his second wife), who is a daughter of the late Mr. John Williams, of Archer-street, North Adelaide, and sister of the widow of the late Mr. John Dunn, jun., of Hackney, and of the widow of the late Mr. G. Shorney, of the Semaphore. Among the other relatives of Mr. John Dunn, sen., who survive are the following : — Mrs. William Paltridge, of Mount Gambier, and Mrs. W. Hill, of Glenelg, daughters ; Mrs. W. H. Dunn, living at North Adelaide, daughter-in-law ; Mr. Samuel Dunn of Devon, England, who has twice visited South Australia, brother; nineteen grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.
