The Register Monday 07 September 1903 page 9
On Tuesday morning Mr. A. Vorwerk, a well-known resident and prominent member of the district council, was found in a state of insensibility near the forge in Mr. M. Nettell's smithy, and on medical aid being procured it was found he had sustained a severe paralytic stroke, and there was no hope of recovery. He died early on Thursday morning, and was unconscious throughout. Mr. Vorwerk settled in Flaxman's Valley in the early days. For a number of years he acted as road overseer under the old Road Board,
and on its abolition retired from active work, and purchased a small property in Angaston, where he had since resided. About two years ago he was elected a district Councillor, and in this capacity he rendered valuable service, as he possessed an intimate knowledge of road work, and had ample time to devote to public work, in all branches of which he took a deep and intelligent interest. He was of an active disposition, and on Tuesday morning left his home at an early hour to supervise council work in the township. It is surmised that some ironwork was required, and he had gone to the smithy to procure it, but, being a public holiday, no one was working, and he started to prepare it himself, as hammering was heard, and when found he had a hammer in his
right hand. Mr. Yorwerk was quiet, unassuming, and popular, and deep regret is felt at such a sudden end to a useful career. He was 72 years of age, and has not left any family. His wife died about three years ago.
