LAKE, Serena Thorne died 09 July 1902
The announcement of the death of Mrs. Lake, wife of Rev. 0. Lake, of the Wellington-square Methodist Church, North Adelaide, will occasion widespread regret. On account of her long years of public work in temperance and religious movements few ladies were better known throughout the State than Mrs. Lake. Her early life in England was spent in literary work. Afterwards, under authority of the British Bible Christian Conference, she began the work of that body, in Queensland, in which State, and also in Victoria, her maiden name (Miss Thorne) is still well remembered. She came to South Australia in 1870 and for some time engaged in evangelistic work in Adelaide and the country, her keen reasoning power and great eloquence rendering her exceedingly useful and popular. After her marriage Mrs. Lake continued to work incessantly on the platform and in the pulpit as well as with her pen for the religious and temperance interests which she had made her life work.
For some time she was engaged in organising branches of the W.C.T.U. when that body first began operations in South Australia. Mrs. Lake was a granddaughter of the Rev. William O'Bryan (the founder of the Bible Christian Church), and a niece of the Rev. James Thorne, who was for more, than half a century the leading minister of that denomination. Mrs. Lake preached only three weeks ago in connection with the Ovingham Church anniversary with all her old power, and apparently in her usual health. A few days later it was discovered that the insidious disease cancer had already made alarming progress. An immediate operation became necessary and though this was successfully performed, death resulted five days later from exhaustion.

Rigbye, who in the early days was engaged in pastoral pursuits. Her recollections of the city extended to the time when giant gum trees and scrub grew in profusion in the city streets, and the aboriginals roamed in their wild state. She had been almost totally blind for many years, but otherwise her facilties were perfect, and her bright and cheerful disposition and gentle nature endeared her to a large circle.

Advertiser Tuesday 5 January 1903
The attended ranks of pioneer colonists have sustained a further diminution by the death of Mr W Lapthorne, which occurred at his sons residence, Payneham on Sunday evening. Mr Lapthorne arrived in South Australia in the Pestonjee Bomanjee in October 1838. The deceased served an apprenticeship in the building trade before leaving England, for the greater part of the time he had been in the State, followed that occupation. Some of the buildings erected by him about 60 years ago still remain substantial edifice. One of them is the residence of the deceased's brother-in-law Mr. F Filmer of Harrock Farm, near Brighton in which Mr. Filmer and his family have resided for over half a century. The deceased also turned his hand to almost every occupation which the colonists were called upon to take up. Twice he took up land and engaged in agriculture. He visited the Victoria goldfields three times and spent a considerable time in alluvial digging and quartz??? and also devoted months to prospecting in the Echunga district. At times prosperity smiled upon him, but from a financial standpoint misfortune was usually his standpoint. He however possessed a bright and cheerful disposition, which misfortune could never destroy. This lead to a strong constitution and sturdy frame, well fitted him for the life of a pioneer. He was always proud of the fact that during over 60 years in the State, he only once had need to see a medical man and on that single occasion the doctor was not at home when his services were required st they were dispensed with, and the fractured ribs of the hardy old colonist were left to mend without surgical aid. Another tale of which he was justly proud was that he never asked a favour of any man and never refused to grant one. He was a great reader and proved a store of information on almost every subject. He had a great love for music, and his services were in many a country town availed of as choir leader, and several gatherings. For the last year the deceased had resided at Payneham, where his genial nature and stirling qualities won him many friends. He leaves a widow, three sons, one daughter, 38 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

LEANEY, Winifred Jean nee ADCOCK died 13 September 2001
Obituary Southern Cross Newspaper December 2001 page 27
Winifred Jean Leaney was born in Gawler, the daughter of Cecil Orlando Adcock and Hilda Alice Summerton.
Jean, as she was known, married John Taggart Leaney in St Saviour's Church, Hindmarsh in 1927 and they had five children.
Jean was devoted to the Church. With no local church the Leaneys and other Lockley's Parishioners attended mass each Sunday in the local picture theatre. Jean was in charge of cleaning and preparing the picture theatre every Sunday morning for Mass. She also worked tirelessly, raising money for the Church through fetes, weekly collections and selling flowers and fruit to Lockley's residents. In 1948 Franciscan Friars from Malta arrived in Adelaide to establish the Lockley's Parish with Fr Giles Ferriggi as Parish Priest . He was later joined by Fr Sebastian Camilleri. Jean and her husband gave Fr Ferriggi their full support and helped him turn a room in the presbytery into a Chapel which became the centre of religious life for the parishioners.
Between managing a family of five children, Jean was able to arrange chapel for daily Mass, organise the making and laundering of the vestments and altar linen, clean the brass, provide and arrange the flowers, learn to play the organ and became chapel organist. When a hand operated device for making altar breads arrived from Malta, making the altar breads became another of Jean's tasks. Moving to Rostrevor in the late 50s she became involved in sacristy work at Rostrevor College as well as playing the organ for Sunday Masses. She retained her links with Lockleys over the years , catching two buses from Rostrevor and spending many hours a week working in the Church. In 1968 she and her husband moved to Tranmere where she became sacristan and was one of the team organists. In 1994 Jean became a resident of St Hilarion's Villa, Fulham, joining her old friend Fr Ferriggi. Her work for the Church continued. For as long as she was able she prepared the altar and organised the flowers for the Masses celebrated daily by Fr Ferriggi. Franciscan Fr Sebastian Camellleri, who knew Jean for 52 years, said in his homily that she was a loving lady , a devoted wife and mother who radiated an inner joy expressed by prayers and a dedicated life. "All the good deeds that Jean performed in her life are now a pledge for her eternal salvation in heaven,"
Fr Camilerri said.

LEWIS, Eliza Margaret Hutton died 05 July 1906
Mrs. James Lewis, mother of the Hon. J. Lewis, M.L.C., who died at Balaklava last week, was one of the few remaining colonists whose connection with South Australia dates back to 1836. She arrived at Kangaroo Island when 12 years old with her parents in the Cygnet, a vessel of 230 tons, Capt. Rowls. There were 84 passengers on board including Sir John Morphett, Sir George Kingston, Col. Finniss, and the surveyors who laid out Adelaide. The voyage out occupied six months. The women and children in the ship’s company were landed at Kangaroo Island, while the men went on to Rapid Bay to join Col. Light, who had arrived a month before. Even at the advanced age of 82 years Mrs. Lewis had distinct recollections of the pioneering days. She remembered that the women and children were not permitted to remove to the mainland until Adelaide had been surveyed. They lived in tents, and had abundance of game including wild fowl and kangaroos. Sometime before her death, in writing of the early days, Mrs Lewis said:—“There was plenty of green herbage about, but no stock to eat it. When we got over to the mainland the men made trucks of pieces of wood. One would draw and another push, and by doing so we were able to carry our goods from Glenelg to Adelaide over the unmade road. Our first Christmas beef was a cow which fell into the Torrens and died. It was bled and served for Christmas dinner. The first bread made in South Australia was baked in a hole in the bank of the Torrens.” Mrs Lewis was present at the proclamation of the province on December 28, 1836. In 1840 she was arrived in Trinity Church, then only a weatherboard building, to Mr. James Lewis, who came out in the brig Rapid, and who died about 12 years ago. The deceased colonist was a great friend of Col.
Light, who gave her the first dog that came to South Australia—a fine specimen of the Newfoundland breed. One day as a girl she was sewing some of his hair on her doll’s head. Col. Light appeared, and learning what she was doing remarked— “You haven’t enough there. Lend me your scissors, and I shall give you some more.” He thereupon cut off three curls and gave them to Eliza Bristow, as was her maiden name. Mrs. Lewis in her reminiscences used to say that the first child to step ashore in South Australia was the little daughter of Mrs. Beare. A sailor carried her from the boat and placed her bare feet on the beach. The late Mr. and
Mrs. Lewis lived at Richmond House, River Wakefield, in the earlier days, and for the past 25 years the latter had been in residence at Balaklava. Eleven children, 35 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren survive her. The children are Mesdames Shillabeer, Daw, Ruddock and McCleery, the Misses Lewis, and Messrs. John, James, Philip, Stephen and Harry Lewis.

The death occurred on December 3, at his residence, Bryant-street, Magill, of Mr. James Lillywhite, in his 93rd year. Mr. Lillywhite was born at Marden, Kent, on December 15, 1831, and came to South Australia in 1857, when he accompanied his parents on the East-India built sailing ship, Adelaide. On the voyage out his father acted as schoolmaster and his mother as matron on the vessel. The passage occupied 84 days from London. A mutiny broke out on board, which was suppressed with some difficulty, and several fights occurred between passengers of different nationalities. The captain adopted what was known as the '"circular sailing" plan, moving south into the "roaring forties," the return trades, which filled his sails and hastened the little vessel at a high speed. Mr
Lillywhite delighted to relate to interested listeners the romantic tales of his experiences both while in England and on the voyage to Australia, and of the early days of itis residence in this country. When the Lillywhite family arrived in South Australia the railway to Port Adelaide had just been completed, and free rides were offered in open trucks. Mr. Lillywhite and his brother walked through the scrub to the Semaphore, where an uncle, already a resident in this State, met them with a bullock dray. Proceeding to Mitcham Mr. Lillywhite found a job as caretaker for a Scotsman who was going to the diggings. Mr. Lillywhite often referred to Mr. E. L. Ifould father of the manager at Dunstan's quarries, as a "friend in need," and said he owed much as a young man to Mr. Ifould's advice and encouragement. Mr. Lillywhite, afterwards found employment at Tyeeka (Hollow in Rock), a property belonging to Mr. Thorold Grant, who, with Mr. Roberts, was afterwards found dead in the bush in the north. Mr. Ifould had a place near One Tree Hill, and for some time Mr. Lillywhite had to look after after a special blood horse. Finally, Mr. Lillywhite, on September 5, 1857, secured an engagement in the Bank of South Australia at Gawler. About this period he lodged at Beckwith, with the Rev. James Leonard, minister of the Independent Church, who, in the words of 'Mr. Lillywhite, acted as a "big brother" to him. Mr. Lillywhite was acquainted with Dr. Nott and other members of the famous Humbug Society. As Mr. Lillywhite was wont to point out, the Lillywhites were a numerous family, and the famous cricketer was a distant relation. On leaving Gawler. he was transferred to the Union Bank. Adelaide. He spent 33 years in the Bank of South Australia and two in the Union Bank. On retiring from the Bank in I894 he purchased some land at Scott's Creek and planted an orchard which is still flourishing. He acted as auditor to Prince Alfred College for 25 rears, and to the Methodist Book Depot for 31 years. He was also secretary for 30 years to the trustees of the Magill Baptist Church, a position he relinquished but a few years ago. He was a member of the Adelaide Philharmonic Society, and for 30 years played the violincello at the annual performances of "The Messiah." He enjoyed magnificent health and preservation of his faculties
until shortly before his death. His extraordinary rigor and health he attributed to three factors—total abstinence from spirituous liquors, refraining from the tips of tobacco, and a love for long walks. He often proudly declared that he had explored most of the Mount Lofty ranges long before there were any tracks over the ranges.
