South Australian Register Thursday 5 June 1884
OBITUARY. Death Of Mr, Daniel Fisher, J.P.— The above well-known old colonist passed away at Glenelg at 6 o'clock on Monday morning, after a long and painful illness. The deceased gentleman was born in Wiltshire in 1812, and when about 15 years of age was the victim of an unfortunate mistake, which resulted, in his being sent as a con vict to the colony of Tasmania. Mr. Fisher, who never tried to conceal the circumstances connected with his transpor tation, always protested his innocence, and about the year 1860 his statements received confirmation from the mouth of his accuser, who on his deathbed ex onerated Mr. Fisher and those who were punished with him from all guilt. On this a petition, relating all the facts, was through the instrumentality of the late Hon. J. Baker presented to Her Majesty, and all that could be done to free Mr. Fisher from the stigma cast upon him for a boyish escapade, involving no moral offence, was done. The whole of the facts connected with this matter were on more than one occasion publicly related by Mr. Fisher. Mr. Fisher came over to this colony from Tasmania in 1847, and commenced Business in Rundle street as a a cornfactor and exporter of grain. His brother Mr. Charles Fisher, J.P., who arrived in the colony in 1848 joined him in 1854, and other branches were added to the business until the Messrs. Fisher Brothers carried on a most extensive export and import trade between this colony and Victoria and Tasmania. Deceased, like most of the other old colonists, went to Victoria when the gold fever was at its height, and returned a wiser, if not a richer man. He was a member of the City Council in 1852-3 and 4, and retired from business in 1856, After receiving his release at the direction of Her Majesty, Mr. Fisher went to England in 1861, and returned here after an absence of twelve months. In 1865 he contested the election for the representa tion in Parliament of the district of East Torrens, but was defeated by Messrs. C. H. Goode and Neville Blyth. On Mr. Goode's retirement, however, two years afterwards, he was returned, and sat in the House of Assembly for five years. He also filled the position of Mayor of Kensington and Norwood for two years. . During the last ten or twelve years he contested elections for the Mayoralty of Kensington and Norwood and for the representation of East Torrens, but was unsuccessful. The deceased gentleman was of a thoroughly sociable disposition, and took an intense interest in political and municipal matters. He fairly revelled in the excite ment connected with an election, and was rarely absent from any gathering of rate payers or electors of Norwood and Kensing ton, where he lived almost from the time of his arrival, and was recognised as one of the old identities of the place, He was kind hearted and generous almost to a fault, and was most popular with those who knew him best. About six years ago Mr. Fisher sustained a paralytic stroke which deprived him of the full use of his limbs, and he was compelled to retire from the active public life in which he had previously so prominently figured. Within the last twelve months Mr. Fisher had been gradually getting worse, and his mind was unhinged for a great part of the time. His age was 71, and he leaves a family of five sons and two daughters, all grown up, a brother, Mr. Charles Fisher, J.P., and two sisters— Mrs. George P, Harris and Mrs, A, Pickford.

FLOWER, Joseph died 13 September 1926
The Burra Record Wednesday 22 September 1926
The death Of Mr. Joseph Flower which occurred on September 13th, removes one of the earliest pioneers of Burra district, and also of the State. Born at Timbsbury, Somersetshire, England, in March 4th, 1842, he left England with his parents in October
of 1853 in the ship 'David Malcolm,' and landed at Port Adelaide in January, 1854. He first worked for Mr. Joseph Johnson at the Reedbeds, remaining there for three years. Left there and went shepherding at Gawler for a while. Then started bullocking and carting on the roads, working for Dr. Brown, of Buckland Park, until about March, 1859, when the family removed to Stony Gap, where his father had taken up land. They got a bad start, as the year was a very bad one, and not sufficient rain fell to make the grass grow, and for the whole year stock had to be fed on sheoak, etc., causing much sickness amongst them. (Another old resident, Mr. M. Quinn, of Waterloo, informed us recently that about that year he drove a wagon and team- over Porter's Lagoon, which was then dry on account of the terrible drought.) As so many of the stock were dying he took his swag, and his mother gave him a pound note and he struck out for himself. His first job was fencing at Canowie, 2,000 posts at 2d a post and hole, posts to be stood in hole. He afterwards assisted on the station in all duties. Sheep then had to be shepherded. Left Canowie in 1865 and went back to Stony Gap. The year 1866 was the worst season he ever experienced, as no rain fell until September of that year, and when it started, it never ceased for a week, and by the end of October, with other showers, the feed was 2 to 3 ft. high. Mr. Flower saw many ups and downs during his later life as farmer and grazier, but through it all maintained an optimistic spirit that was characteristic of him right up to his death.
He married in 1862, Miss Catherine Callis, and reared a family of five sons and six daughters. Their home, at Stony Gap was noted for its hospitality, and particularly in connection with Methodism the name of Flower ranked high at the Gap. The homestead was alongside this little back country church (since demolished), and was always open to ministers and worshippers alike. He had a fine Christian spirit, and was never weary in well doing, and was assisted by his first wife and family in all his church work, and since his removal from the Gap had been a most regular attendant at church until his last illness.
For 16 years he sat as councillor in the Apoinga District Council.

The death Of Mr. Joseph Flower which occurred on September 13th, removes one of the earliest pioneers of Burra district, and also of the State. Born at Timbsbury, Somersetshire, England, in March 4th, 1842, he left England with his parents in October
of 1853 in the ship 'David Malcolm,' and landed at Port Adelaide in January, 1854. He first worked for Mr. Joseph Johnson at the Reedbeds, remaining there for three years. Left there and went shepherding at Gawler for a while. Then started bullocking and carting on the roads, working for Dr. Brown, of Buckland Park, until about March, 1859, when the family removed to Stony Gap, where his father had taken up land. They got a bad start, as the year was a very bad one, and not sufficient rain fell to make the grass grow, and for the whole year stock had to be fed on sheoak, etc., causing much sickness amongst them. (Another old resident, Mr. M. Quinn, of Waterloo, informed us recently that about that year he drove a wagon and team- over Porter's Lagoon, which was then dry on account of the terrible drought.) As so many of the stock were dying he took his swag, and his mother gave him a pound note and he struck out for himself. His first job was fencing at Canowie, 2,000 posts at 2d a post and hole, posts to be stood in hole. He afterwards assisted on the station in all duties. Sheep then had to be shepherded. Left Canowie in 1865 and went back to Stony Gap. The year 1866 was the worst season he ever experienced, as no rain fell until September of that year, and when it started, it never ceased for a week, and by the end of October, with other showers, the feed was 2 to 3 ft. high. Mr. Flower saw many ups and downs during his later life as farmer and grazier, but through it all maintained an optimistic spirit that was characteristic of him right up to his death.
He married in 1862, Miss Catherine Callis, and reared a family of five sons and six daughters. Their home, at Stony Gap was noted for its hospitality, and particularly in connection with Methodism the name of Flower ranked high at the Gap. The homestead was alongside this little back country church (since demolished), and was always open to ministers and worshippers alike. He had a fine Christian spirit, and was never weary in well doing, and was assisted by his first wife and family in all his church work, and since his removal from the Gap had been a most regular attendant at church until his last illness.
For 16 years he sat as councillor in the Apoinga District Council. He was also a life-long member and good supporter of the Burra Agricultural Show Society ever since its inception, and only absent from one show. He enjoyed wonderful health, and until his seizure some weeks ago never needed medical attention, a wonderful record for a man in his 85th year. He leaves a family of four surviving sons — Mr. Jas. Flower, Braefoot, Burra; Mr. William Flower, Tambleup, Western Australia; Mr. Joseph Flower, Canowie Belt; Mr. Frank Flower, Lower Light. Mr. John Flower died some years ago.

FOOTE, Henry died 15 September, 1893
Adelaide Register 16 Sep 1893 p 5 col a
The late Mr. H Foote—The death of Mr. Henry Foote, Manager and part owner of the Outalpa Run, and a very old colonist is announced. The deceased, who was born in Dorsetshire in 1820, came out to the colony in the ship Standard in 1852. Some time ago he kept the Victoria Hotel, Hindley-street, but he relinquished that business for squatting, entering into partnership with the late Mr. Hurd, whose death occurred last year. The two gentlemen owned the Outalpa Run. For many years he acted as Judge of Wines at the Agricultural Shows. He was a member of the Royal Society of South Australia and was also a member of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science. He was twice married: his second wife, sister of Messrs. W. and T. Pope, solicitors, of this city, survives him. There were no children. The cause of death was a complaint of the heart. Until within the last two or three months Mr. Foote never knew a day’s illness. He lived a quiet life during the last two or three years, devoting his leisure mostly to the study of natural history, with several branches of which he was very familiar, and carpentering as a hobby. He was of a very retiring disposition, but most friendly and hospitable, and highly esteemed by everyone who met him. He was Minister’s Warden at St. David’s Church, Burnside, having been elected two or three years in succession. The funeral takes place this afternoon.

Advertiser 22 December 1914
The death of Mr. John Ford, which occurred at his residence, "Braeside," Prospect, on Monday morning has removed a well-known and highly-respected old colonist. Mr.Ford was a native of Millport, at the mouth of the Clyde, where he was
born on May 16, 1830, and was thus 84 years old. When he was only six years of age his father died, and as he was one of a large family his early years were not spent in affluent circumstances. When only l1 years old he was employed at farm work, and a little later he was engaged by a baker. After a few years the fascination of the sea took hold of him. He joined a ship bound for Calcutta as steward, and made three voyages to that port. These were the days when all trade between England and India had to go round the Cape of Good Hope. Apparently life on a sailing vessel was not altogether congenial to the lad, for he did not long continue at sea. In 1851 he sailed for Australia by the Catherine Mitchell, and on reaching Melbourne he went to try his luck at the goldfields, which were at "the heyday of silver prosperity. Not meeting with the success he had hoped for he left the search for gold and came to South Australia, where he began farming at One tree Hill. Having put in his crop, he again made for the goldfields but with not better success than on the first occasion. An adventure befell him on his return voyage, for the boat was wrecked on the coast of Kangaroo Island, and after a very unpleasant experience he succeeded with others in landing. On returning to One tree Hill he found that wheat growing was a more trustworthy venture than gold hunting. A generous crop rewarded his labours. About two years later he entered farming and pastoral pursuits in the Kapunda district, and founded the station named after him. In 1879 Mr. Ford removed to Yorke Peninsula where he went into business as a farmer and grazier, and was also interested in several stores. He was for many years a member of the Land Board, and was one of the best known and most highly esteemed men in the Lower North and Yorke Peninsula districts. He was always a friend to struggling agriculturists, and both in country and in town made many friends. About ten years ago he retired, and went "to reside' at Prospect, where he was soon highly respected. His sons are: Messrs. J. H. Ford, of Minlaton; J. W.Ford, of the Northern Territory-; A.E. Ford, traffic superintendent to the Municipal Tramways Trust; R. A. Ford, auctioneer, of Yorke Peninsula; F. Ford, of Victoria; A. Ford, of Sydney; and E. Ford, of Beverley, Western Australia; and his daughters, Mrs. H.B. Sutherland and Mrs. Adams, -wife of the Rev. R. A. Adams, of Jamestown. There are a number of grandchildren.

DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST.
Mrs. Ford, relict of Mr. Edward Ford, who died last Friday at her residence, Hyde Park, in her 99th year, was one of the fast diminishing band of early colonists whose presence in South Australia helped to shape the future destinies of the State. By those who knew her best the deceased was aptly described as a "dear old lady." She was bright, versatile, and entertaining, despite her extreme age, and retained complete control of her faculties almost up to the last. Six weeks ago a serious illness overtook her. Mrs. Ford was born in the island of Sicily, her father being Major-General Slessor, who was wounded in the battle of Waterloo. In 1833 she married Mr. Ford, a native of Devonshire, in the Anglican Church at Honiton, a parish town of Devon, noted for its fine lace, the manufacture of which forms one of the staple industries of the district. A bank failure and other financial reverses induced Mr. Ford to try his luck in the dominions oversea, and with his wife and their family of 10 children, he emigrated to South Australia. London was left 56 years, ago, so that Mrs. Ford's record as a colonist dates back for well over the half-century. Mr. Ford predeceased his wife by nearly 40 years. A grown-up family survive - Mr. W. Ford, Mrs. Simpson, and Miss Ford. There are also two daughters-in-law, Mrs. J. Westcott Ford and Mrs. Alfred Ford, and 28 grandchildren and 24 great-grand- children. The Rev. J. Slessor, of London, was the deceased's brother. During her long life in Australia Mrs. Ford never went outside the borders of the State of her adoption. She was a member of St. George's Church of England, Goodwood, and up to a few years ago regularly attended service there. Mrs. Ford's life was notable by reason of the fact that she lived under six sovereigns. She was born in 1811, when George III. occupied the throne.

FREEMAN John Andrews
West Coast Sentinel 27th February 1914
The death of Mr John Andrew Freeman at his residence, Streaky Bay, late on Friday afternoon last cast a gloom over the town. He had been ailing for just upon three years and frequently of late had been in a very low state, so his demise was not unexpected, but the sorrow felt was none the less sincere. He was 81 years of age, and one of pioneers of the Coast, in fact the pioneer of the farming industry, as it was through his efforts that the first hundreds in this vicinity were thrown open. He led a strenuous life until June, 1911, when he took ill, and, after attention at the hands of Dr. Steven at streaky Bay, went to delaide in August of the same year, and was there under two doctors until February 1912 when owing to improvement in his condition, he returned to the Coast, and for twelve months was here attended by Drs Steven, McLennan and Boer. However a return to Adelaide was deemed advisable in March of last year, and he was for many weeks an inmate of Miss Hill's private hospital, where, owing to gangrene, a foot was amputated. On the 12th of this month he returned once again to Streaky Bay, and died, as stated above, eight days later. The deceased was born at Addisfield, Yorkshire on February 3rd 1833, and after leaving school took up the stone-cutting and building trade, which he worked at until leaving for Australia in August 1854. On March 13th, 1854 he was married at the Old Cathedral church, Manchester to Sarah Evans, of Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, Wales, and his wife accompanied him when he emigrated five months later. They arrived at Port Adelaide on Christmas day of 1854 in the ship Marion. Captain Leighton, and Dr. McKenzie was the ship's surgeon. After a residence of three years in the metropolis, working at his trade, he came to the West Coast (early in 1858), in company with his brother William, to erect the station building of Calca station for Mr. Fred Miller, the lessee of the run. Mrs Freeman accompanied him, together with her three children - one of whom was a baby in arms. They came over in the schooner Bandicoote (Captain Reid) and landed at Venus Bay, from whence they travelled in a bullock dray to Calca. After waiting three weeks at the station for Materila necessary for the erection of the buildings, Mr Freeman made his first visit to Streaky Bay, in quest of it. The journey proved a fruitless one, as the schooner engaged to bring it along had not arrived, and did not do so during a weeks wait. On this trip Mrs Freeman accompanied her husband, driving in the only spring cart in the district, and she was the first white woman to visit the Bay. The late Mr. John Mudge was then in charge of the police station at Cooeyanna Well, having another trooper with him. Mr. M. Gibson was holding Maryvale station (known as Mikakapingie) but there was no other station to the westward, except at Fowler's Bay. Owing to some financial trouble, the Calca homestead was not erected, though the huts etc., were, and shortly afterwards Mr. Schlink from Flinders Island, took up the Witera country, and Mr Freeman and his brother went over and built a house for him at Piltra Rocks, to whence the owner brought his family from the Island. The brothers then took contracts for station buildings at lake Hamilton and Bramfield for Mr. Price Morris, and at Talia for Mr. Marchant. At this time Mrs Freeman was compelled to go to Adelaide for medical treatment but on her recovery, Mr Freeman went down to Port Lincoln there opening a store in 1861 or 1862. About six years afterwards the Venus Bay township was surveyed, so he bought some allotments there and opened another store. Venus Bay progressed and almost at once there was an hotel, a blacksmith shop, a police station, a shoemaker's and the store, but these buildings have long since gone to ruin. Streaky Bay next attracted his attention, and the property now known as Bockleberg's old store (still standing, and occupied by Mr. Chas. Fabian) was purchased from Mr Manuel of Port Adelaide, the building having been erected by the late Mr. William Campbell. here a building for the storage of the wool, etc., of the surrounding settlers was erected and for many years answered that purpose, while the store also flourished.In 1881 Mr Freeman secured the contract for the conveyance of the mail from Port Lincoln to Fowler's Bay and for nine years carried out this work, at the end of the third term being succeeded by Mr. J.R. Montgomerie. His family of sons growing up, Mr Freeman made request for land to settle them on, but none could be obtained, so in 1888 he and Mrs Freeman went to Adelaide to see what could be done. With the assistance of Messrs George Scarfe Venning (Crystal Brook), Coglin, Dawe and others, the attention of the Commissioner of Crown Lands was obtained and he promised if ten sections (with a deposit of £15 each) were taken up, he would at once send surveyors over to effect a survey. A conference among the party ensued, with the result that Mr. Freeman (for himself, five sons and Mrs Freeman) took up seven sections, Mr. P.B. Coglin two sections and Mr Daw one section. The conditions complied with, and, the money being immediately paid over, the surveyors were sent over a week or two later. The first hundreds surveyed were those at Wrensfordsley and Rounsevell, and here the above mentioned sections were taken up. The cutting up of the runs then continued, and the surveyors were kept in the district for years, not withstanding determined opposition on the part of the squatters. However this was of no avail; the land was soon taken up by farmers and Mr. Freeman had the satisfaction of seeing the district gradually grow to its present state. Shortly after taking up the land at Calca the store at Streaky Bay was sold to Mr. F.B. Bockleberg, and until the time of his taking ill in 1911 Mr. Freeman resided at Calca. In the early days Cooeyanna Well was the township's mainstay for water, and it was owing to the representation made by the Freemans to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, through the members, that the well was resumed for public utility from Pantilipie run (then held by Mr. T. Cotton), and also that a good portion of the present park lands were reserved. Mr Freeman was one of the agitators for a district council, and occupied a seat at the first meeting, on March 3rd, 1888, holding the position for the first term. The first council was appointed by the Government and the personnel was: - Messrs F.B. Bockleberg ( who was elected as first chairman), Colley, Cotton, J.A. Freeman, R.A. Horn and H. Mudge, but owing to Messrs Colley and Cotton being out of the district, Messrs R.D. Anderson and W.T.S. Hewitson were appointed in their stead. He was a kind father and husband, and, besides the widow, leaves a family of six children, seven others having died in earlier life. The one daughter is Mrs Arthur Kelsh, of Streaky Bay, while the sons are Frederick William , Streaky Bay, John Evan, Calca; Henry, Mortana; Arthur Ernest, Calca; and Albert, Calca.
The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, to the Streaky Bay cemetery, and there was a specially large attendance. Rev. Canon Howard officiated at the grave, and Messrs Willcock Bros. carried out the mortuary arrangements.

In the early days Cooeyanna Well was the township's mainstay for water, and it was owing to the representation made by the Freemans to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, through the members, that the well was resumed for public utility from Pantilipie run (then held by Mr. T. Cotton), and also that a good portion of the present park lands were reserved. Mr Freeman was one of the agitators for a district council, and occupied a seat at the first meeting, on March 3rd, 1888, holding the position for the first term. The first council was appointed by the Government and the personnel was: - Messrs F.B. Bockleberg ( who was elected as first chairman), Colley, Cotton, J.A. Freeman, R.A. Horn and H. Mudge, but owing to Messrs Colley and Cotton being out of the district, Messrs R.D. Anderson and W.T.S. Hewitson were appointed in their stead. He was a kind father and husband, and, besides the widow, leaves a family of six children, seven others having died in earlier life. The one daughter is Mrs Arthur Kelsh, of Streaky Bay, while the sons are Frederick William , Streaky Bay, John Evan, Calca; Henry, Mortana; Arthur Ernest, Calca; and Albert, Calca.
The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, to the Streaky Bay cemetery, and there was a specially large attendance. Rev. Canon Howard officiated at the grave, and Messrs Willcock Bros. carried out the mortuary arrangements.

Great regret will be felt among a large circle of friends and business associates concerning the death of Mr. H. Adolphe Frost, of the well-known firm of Holden & Frost, wholesale saddlers, which occurred on Wednesday at his residence, Parade, Norwood. Mr. Frost was born in Hamburg in 1844, and he came to this state with his parents when he was but five years old, so that he had resided in South Australia for 60 years. His first home was at Lyndoch and there he learnt his trade as a saddler, subsequently removing to Rhynie. About 38 years ago he went to Port Wakefield and opened a business, afterwards following the trend of farming settlement to Yorketown, where he was very successful commercially. Mr. Frost did not aspire to the occupancy of public positions, but while at Yorketown he was persuaded to accept the nomination for mayor, an office which he held with great credit to himself and advantage to the ratepayers. About 30 years ago Mr. Frost came to Adelaide and entered into partnership with the late Mr. J. A. Holden, under the title of Messrs. Holden & Frost. Afterwards he was associated in the same business with Mr. H. J. Holden, a son of the founder of the firm, and that partnership continued till a few days before his death. Mr. Frost was twice married. His first wife, Misa Elizabeth James, of Clare, died in 1892. His second wife, who survives him, was Miss Celia Grey, a sister of Mrs. Richard Mitchell, of Jamestown. He left three daughters (Mrs. E. Welbourn, of Western Australia; Mrs. W. E. Aitken, of Hyde Park; and Mrs. C. Underwood, of Norwood). The sons are Messrs. Herbert, Gilbert, Raymond, Stewart, and Louis Frost, all of whom live at Norwood. His only sister, Mrs. C. Wise, lived for many years at Gawler, but is now a resident of Norwood. Mr. Frost was highly esteemed as an upright and enterprising business man. Since he came to Adelaide he had taken no part in public affairs, but all who knew him respected both his character, and his judgment.

Mrs. A. G. Fry, who died last week, was the wife of the Rev. A. G. Fry, of King's Park Congregational Church and the youngest daughter of the late Mr. William Lewis of Allendale North. Hers was a gracious and charming personality. She had read widely, and possessed considerable literary ability. She wrote many papers on literary and religious subjects for societies, church associations, and guilds. She ably assisted her husband in his long and successful ministry at Kapunda, and won the esteem and affection of all classes. Her special work was in connection with a Young Ladies' Bible Class, which she conducted for 26 years. Up to the time of her death she continued to receive letters of gratitude from those who came under her teaching. Her influence was such as not only to deepen but also to broaden the minds of her pupils. At Kapunda she was the leading spirit in kindling an interest in the study of Shakespeare's works. She organised readings and recitals of many of the greatest plays, and usually opened the proceedings with a paper which served as a general introduction to the particular play selected to study. After coming to Adelaide she became a well-known figure in Congregational circles. She was deeply interested in women's work in churches. Only a month ago she gave great delight to the people of King's Park by reading a paper entitled 'The floodgates of Discontent. Her death was not unexpected, for she had been in ill-health for the last 12 months. Notwithstanding the serious nature of her illness, she continued to the last to take an active interest in Christian work. Her stepson, whom she brought up from childhood, Mr. Alfred Fry, is on the staff of the. Mount Lyell Mining Company, Tasmania. Her son, Sergeant David Fry, of the Bank of Adelaide, was attached to C Section of the 8th Field Ambulance, and was with the Australian forces abroad 4½ years.

FULLER, Benjamin Grove died 02 June 1902
Advertiser Tuesday 10 June 1902
The death of Mr. Benjamin Grove Fuller, which took place at Morgan on June 2, removes another name from the old colonists' roll. Mr. Fuller was born within sound of Bow Bells on December 9, 1815, arrived in South Australia by the ship Navarino in 1837, accompanied by his wife and one child, and with the exception of a few brief visits to the Victorian goldfields, resided in this State up to the time of his death. Left an orphan at the age of 9, the youngest of a family of 19, he had a most interesting career, and saw the growth of South Australia from a very small settlement to a most important State of Federated Australia. Landing at Holdfast Bay, he settled where the city of Adelaide now stands, and witnessed all the stirring events which took place in the early days. Being by trade a carpenter he soon found ample employment, and within a short time became a large employer of labour, being associated with others in the erection of some of the first Government buildings and the residences of the earliest colonists. At one time in the early days he was the owner of all, or nearly all the land adjacent to Leigh-street, but unfortunately for him he disposed of it before it became of much value. He also for a time turned his attention to farming in the neighbourhood of Sturt, but not meeting with much success he returned to his trade, removing from Adelaide to Mount Barker about the year 1847. After residing at Mount Barker for about 19 years he went to Swanport, on the Murray, where, with his son, (Mr. B. Fuller, jun.). now of Perth. W.A.. and his sons-in-law (the late Mr. A. Mar- tin and the late Mr. Tonkin), he was interested in the river trade. In 1878 he went to Milang, where he spent seven years, and then removed to Morgan. At this place he remained till his death. The deceased was twice married, his first wife, who accompanied him from England, having died at Swanport in 1871. His second wife and nine children (Mr. B. Fuller, of Perth, W.A.; Mrs. A. Martin, of Murray Bridge; Mrs. Bungey , of Wallaroo; Mrs. German, of Wentworth; Mr. A. Fuller, of Mildura; and four unmarried daughters), 16 grandchildren, and 45 great-grandchildren survive.
