DEATH OF AN OLD COLONIST.- Mr. George Clark, late of Port MacDonnell, one of the pioneer colonists of South Australia, died on Saturday afternoon last in the Mount Gambier Hospital. The deceased, who was 83 years of age, arrived in the colony in the year 1836 (54 years ago), and settled at Walkerville, where for many year he carried on a vineyard and entered into wine-making. He was, it is said, the first man who ever planted a fruit tree in Adelaide. About 30 years ago he came to the South-East and settled at Port Mac-Donnell, where he opened a brewery, which after some years he relinquished. For several years prior to his death increasing senile infirmities prevented him doing any active business; but the immediate cause of his death is given as cystitis. Mr. Clark leaves several sons and daughters in this district. One of the latter is Mrs. P. G. Byass, of Mount Gambier, The funeral took place on Monday, the Rev. Dr. Craig officiating.

Our obituary contains a notice of the death of Mr. John Godlee, a colonist of 53 years. Mr. Godlee, who was a native of Lewes, in Sussex, arrived in the ship Henry Porcher in July, 1838, and immediately entered the service of the late Mr. J. B. Hack. Mr. Godlee was by profession a mechanical engineer, and being of an inventive turn of mind, after leaving the service of Mr. Hack he turned his attention to improving Ridley's reaper, in connection with which he took out two patents. He afterwards entered the locomotive department of the railway as mechanical engineer, remaining in that service about 12 years. On leaving his fellow employees presented him with a portrait of himself as a mark of their esteem. Mr. Godlee filled the position of clerk of the Tungkillo District Council for many years. For some time past the deceased gentleman has been living quietly at College Park, his health not allowing him to follow an active life. He died at his residence this morning of congestion of the.lung, aged 76 years, leaving a widow and a grown-up family of five sons and two daughters. The funeral will leave Mr. Godlee's late residence College Park, to morrow morning at 11 o'clock for the Payneham Cemetery.

Sergeant Lorymer, who came to the colony in July, 1838, in the HenryPorcher, joined the Police Force in December of the same year, and fulfilled his duties to his adopted country for thirteen years, in such a manner as to call forth (among others) the following testimonial, the original of which lies before me as I write:— "Testimonial.—Sergeant Lorymer joined the Police Force December 12, 1538. January 1,1851.—From the date of Sergeant Lorymer's joining the Police Force until his name was transferred to the book, he appears to have been charged with no offence or neglect of duty. Has distinguished himself on various occasions in the performance of his duties, and has three times received the thanks of the Commissioner of Police for special services performed, and also received the thanks of Governor Gawler on the 20th day of December, 1840, for special services. Resigned April 1, 1852." True extract from Police Register Book. — Egerton Warburton, Commissioner of Police. May 28, 1864. I would also refer you to your files of the 2nd April, 1852, where you were pleased to compliment Lorymer on his past services, the extract of which yon might publish it yon think fit, Lorymer is at present a resident of Caltowie, is sixty-nine years old, is still hale and hearty, and is universally respected. He has a certificate from Sir Henry Ayers for twenty-seven years' servitude in the colony, and many other testimonials from old colonists as to his past, services, which surely deserve the consideration of the " powers that be." Old as the man is he is still obliged to earn a somewhat scanty living by doing little jobs here and there, and I think, Mr. Editor, you will agree with me that it is unjust that a man of his age, and with the testimonials he holds, should be forgotten by those who ought to remember the many valuable services he rendered his adopted country as keeper of the peace, at a time, too, when the colony was beset by so many dangers to its peace and good rule. Lorymer does not ask for " charity," he only wants constant light employment suitable to a man of his age. He feels bitterly the way in which his name has been forgotten "by those who in the early days were good enough to express their appreciation of his services. Surely the placing of these facts before your readers will have the effect of reminding the old colonists who know him, and the committee "of the Old Colonists' Association, that total forgetfulness of past services is hut poor thanks to a man who devoted the best years of his life to the infant colony and its protection. I am, Sir, &c., HERMITAGE.

On July 15, 1838, the vessel anchored in Holdfast Bay, and subsequently went on to 'the old Port' and the North Arm. The family composed of the parents and three children— the eldest about four years of age— were conveyed to the spot which the Zoo now occupies. The Government had prepared as tar as possible for new comers, and timbers were stacked in short lengths, so that huts could be speedily put up, consisting o£ logs covered, with bark. Here in one room the Martins began their eventful career. The father had only halt a crown when he set out to find work, but, being a wheelwright and generally skilled with tools, no difficulty was experienced in making a living. He began with Burrow and Gouger and then moved on to Echunga to work for John Godley. A special survey of 20,000 acres had attracted settlers to that locality, and bullock drays, ploughs, and harrows were eagerly sought after. Strathalbyn to Bendigo. About two successful years were put in, after which Strathalbyn became the home town.

The Register News Pictorial Saturday 14 December 1929 page 38
Gifted with a remarkable memoir and the born raconteur's happy facility for investing even the most commonplace facts with an inspiring interest, Mr. Paul Martin, of Appila-Yarrowie. who celebrated the seventy-ninth anniversary of his birth on Saturday, is a delightful companion at all times. A native of Helston, in the south of Cornwall, England, he arrived in South Australia with his parents in the ship HenryPorcher, on July 1, 1838, at the age of 16 months. Four or five years later be walked with his father from Adelaide across what is now Dulwich and Knoxville up the foothills to what is now known as the Eagle-on-the Hill, whence they were conveyed in a bullock dray to Echunga. That was the beginning of a long residence in the south, during which Mr. Martin witnessed many stirring and historical sights. On one occasion—about 1849—he saw at Strathalbyn a fight in which 200 blacks participated with the utmost vigour and severe injuries to a considerable number of them, two years later a still more sanguinary encounter where the gasworks now stand resulted in several men being speared and one of them killed outright. Mr. Martin was on exceedingly friendly terms with the aborigines, and, in fact, never experienced any serious trouble with them, although odd individuals were vicious enough. He had splendid opportunities for studying their habits and practices, and remembers well the methods which they adopted in dealing with their specially honoured dead. The procedure was to strip the corpse, and then truss it up in an attitude similar to that adopted by the old tailors. Next the body was raised upon forked saplings about 5 ft. above the ground, and a smouldering fire was lit underneath, gins meanwhile keeping flies at a distance—a very necessary precaution, particularly in the hot weather. The smoking of the corpse was continued often for a fortnight, by the end of which all the moisture and fat were dried out. The process completed, the remains, weighing probably not more than 20 lb., were carefully wrapped up in bags or cloths, and thereafter carried by the gins wherever the blacks went. Once a party camped temporarily close to Mr. Martin's home on the lower Finniss, and erected a long, low wurlie wherein were provided shelves for the accommodation of the mummified dead. In the absence of the menfolk, however, a fire occurred, no doubt through the care lessness of one of the gins, and the warlike, as well as seven acres of an adjoining wheat crop, was burnt. Instead of endeavouring to extinguish the fire the gins in charge devoted their energies to saving the dead, but managed to rescue only four out of 14. The charred skeletons of the balance Mr. Martin buried the following day. In those times, when a child of which the mother was extremely fond died the body was encased in bagging or old linen and hung up in a tree, together with some of the playthings that had been dearest to its childish heart.

Mr. Paul Martin, who celebrated his 90th birthday on March 4 came to South Australia from Cornwall on the ship HenryPorcher in 1838.

During the 1852 gold rush he went to Bendigo, but returned to South Australia within a year, and took up famine on the Finniss for 18 years. Subseqeuently, in partnership with his brother, he conducted a carrying service between Adelaide and Milang.

He reached South Australia on July 1, 1838. He worked as a gardener for a Mrs. August, whose property was near Walkerville, and later he entered the employ of Mr. John Dunn as a fireman and engineman. It was at this time that, the Ridley reaper was introduced, and Mr. Montgomery was one of the first men to work one of these appliances. He after wards took up and at Dry Creek, and subsequently in the Wakefieid district, where he remained until about 25 years ago.

FLOUR MILLS.-Among other evidences of the advancing prosperity and permanence of cur agricultural district may be noticed the large number of flour mills seen by the traveller on the Avoca road between Ballarat and the Springs: after sighting your two Ballarat mills while passing the Swamp he next sees a mill in the rising township of Miner's Best; two miles further he passes within a short distance of the splendid blue stone mill lately erected by Mr Fry, which has already been several times noticed in the Star, and after passing the township of Learmonth a few miles, he sees at the One Mile Creek a mill on either side of the road, making in all six mills during a ride of sixteen miles. AU these mills are said to be now doing well, and from the fact that the millers arc in the habit of making advances of crops to farmers to a considerable extent, they may almost be said to occupy the position of bankers as well as millers in the agricultural district. The last erected mill of those above mentioned is one of those situated at the One Mile Creek, about four miles from Learmonth and one mile from the Springs township. It has been built by Mr JohnDuncalfOliver, and contains three pairs of stones, one of Smith's patent flour machines, and one of Grimes patent smut machines, all of which are driven by a 25-horse high pressure engine, made by Croll, of Geelong; the mill can turn out 2000 bushels per week, and when at work night and day, the engine consumes about thirty-five tons of firewood per week. Unlike his neighbors, Mr Oliver has not erected a costly stone building, but has contented himself with a less expensive wooden one, the chimney stack, 50 feet in height, being the only brick erection on the premises. The difficulty in this colony of obtaining a constant supply of firewood for a mill after the timber in the immediate neighborhood has been cut has already been so severely felt by many of our mill owners, that Mr Oliver's discretion in erecting a wooden building instead of s stone one will be fully appreciated by all who know anything about mills. The excellent manner in which Mr Oliver's machinery is arranged, and the efficiency of its performances, render his establishment well worthy of the attention of all who take an interest in the advancement of our agricultural district; and there can be no doubt that the public will benefit from the additional competition which this establishment will cause among the millers.

OLIVER, Francis Henry Born Cornwall, England - Died April 1915 in Western Australia
Lived in Victoria and then moved to Western Australia Occupation of Flour Miller Buried Wesley Cemetery
Death of Mr. F. H. Oliver. FAMILIAR FIGURE PASSES AWAY. Regret will be felt by numerous friends at the news that Mr. Francis HenryOliver, the veteran flour- miller, passed peacably away quite recently at his residence, Francis street, Geraldton, after a short illness. The late Mr. Oliver was 78 years of age. He was born in Cornwall, England, and when a boy came out to Victoria with his father. Some years later he and a man named Kosminsky were the pioneers of the mallee district in that State, taking up land where the town of Nhill now stands. Mr. Oliver built the first mill there and his companion the first hotel there. In 1896 Mr. Oliver came to W.A., where he had been in the milling and wheat-buying business ever since. He was well known in the Northam and other Southern districts, having promoted and supervised the building of mills at Narrogin and Wagin for farmers' co- operative societies. He came to Geraldton about six and a half years ago to help the Co-operative Milling Co. to start, and as broker was largely instrumental in the successful flotation of the local company, being the first manager. He has been in this district ever since that time, acting latterly as buyer for Messrs. John Darling and Son in the Victoria District. Not withstanding his advanced years the late Mr. Oliver was a remarkably energetic man, and travelled exclusively up to within a few weeks of his death in pursuance of his duties. His familiar figure will be much missed in Geraldton and the surrounding districts. He leaves a widow, three sons (one of whom is a shift miller at the Geraldton mill), and three daughters to mourn his death. — " Geraldton Express."

Native of Redruth, Cornwall, who came to South Australia in June, 1838, in the ship HenryPorcher. Mr. Trevena. sen., built the first stone house in Kapunda, and it was only recently demolished.
News Saturday 04 October 1930 page 4
Early on Saturday morning last Kapunda lost by death its oldest resident, viz., Mr. William Trevena. Mr. Trevena had been ailing for a long time and for the last three months had been confined to his house or got out with difficulty. His death, there fore, was not a great surprise. He arrived in the colony on June 23rd, 1838, in the "Henry Porcher," and six years later he to Kapunda, and claimed the honor of having erected the first stone house here. The house—a monument to early settlers' architecture—stands in Coghill street, nearly opposite Mr. W. Holler's residence. In 1852 he went to the "Victorian diggings, and on his return took up land at Hawker's Creek, near Kapunda, where he successfully farmed, and at one time, in conjunction with his son-in-law (Mr. W. B. Wyllie), carried on operations as a cheese-maker, the product being well spoken of. Three yearS ago Mr. Trevena retired, into the town to reside. Although not a public man, he took a great interest in the work of the Kapunda District Council, and represented the rate payers of Boss's Creek for twenty years, for more than twelve years of which time he occupied the position of chairman of the council. In December last he was chosen to perform the ceremony of opening the new bridge over the Light at McCarthy's Crossing, but he could not comply with the request on account of illness. Since then he has been rapidly failing, and has not been able to attend the meetings of the council for some time. As chairman of the Kapunda District Council and an old resident he planted an oak tree (No. 12) in Dutton Park on Arbor Day in August, 1889. He was also connected with the Kapunda and Light Agricultural Society from its formation, and was greatly interested in its welfare, During his long residence in the district he always commanded the esteem of all who were acquainted with him and his death was heard of with much regret. His age was 73. He leaves a grown-up family of five daughters and three sons. Mrs. Trevena died in October, 1867. The remains of Mr. Trevena were interred in the Clare-road Cemetery on Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of people. The members of the Kapunda District Council attended in a body, and there were also present several ex-councillors, contractors, and past and present employees of the council. The Rev. G. E. Wheatley, of Port Augusta (conference supply), officiated at the grave.
