General Notes: Richard Silver Townsend was born at Frimley in Surrey, England on Thursday the 22nd March 1832 the son of William Remnant & Mary Ann Townsend, and he emigrated to South Australia with his parents in the ship Hooghly, when he was only seven years old. His youngest brother Lionel passed away during that voyage.

It is written that at the age of 12 he left home and lived with the Aboriginals at Sturt for three months. He then went to Oakbank and worked for a Mr. Johnstone tending cattle and sheep. Unfortunately he was unlucky enough to loose some in the scrub. After a thrashing from his father he bolted from home and obtained a job as a billposter, with a Mr. Deering, who had opened the first theatre.

When the theatre closed down he found work at Mitcham with Mrs. John MacLaren, the wife of the Surveyor-General. At this time he was aged 13 years. During the 18 months he was employed by Mrs. MacLaren he was taught to read and write. After the MacLarens' returned to England he worked at well-sinking and stump clearing in Hindley Street, Adelaide. This employment did not last long, as he found work as a comic singer and lamp cleaner in a theatre and later as a barman in the Exchange Hotel in Hindley Street, where he remained for several years. He then left and spent six months at a boiling down works for tallow, at Mr. Younghusband's senior of Crystal Brook. Returning to Adelaide he worked for four years as a bricklayer's labourer at Higher Coombe.

While working at Higher Coombe he married Martha Rogers, who had arrived in the Colony in 1849 on the barque, "Branken Moor". They were married on Monday the l4th April, 1851 at St. John's Church, Halifax Street, Adelaide, which he apparently attended as a child. His father and sister Emily, were signatories as witnesses at his wedding. Shortly after the wedding he provided his wife with a wash tub to earn a living and he joined the flood of people from South Australia to the Victorian Goldfields in 1851. He went to the Forest Creek diggings near Castlemaine but, like most of the others, he failed to make an easy fortune, so he returned to his wife.

Since the South Australian gold escort left from the Forest Creek diggings for Adelaide, it is likely that Richard sent his wife some gold to supplement her earnings derived from washing clothes. On his return he obtained work as a sawyer with George Ashton at Mount Torrens.

It was while working for two years as a barman at the Mount Torrens Hotel for a Mr. Peters, who was licensee from 1853 to 1854, that he saw the erection of the flour mill, (at a cost of £3,400), and soon after found work there as a labourer, working for 5/- a day.

The Licencees changed for the hotel seven times until R. Townsend was listed as 1871-72. The Mount Torrens Hotel was also known as "Cornish Arms"and "Mt. Torrens Inn"

The reading if this writing is somewhat difficult and so this is the best translation that came up

Mount Torrens
January 1st 1878

I hereby agree to such from B. Walker the Mount Torrens Steam Flour Mills, and all working stock such as Scales, Trucks &, etc. now interest in the Mill for the term of twelve months, commencing from the above day, and ending January 1st 1879, at a rental of £120 per annum, such rent to be paid quarterly. And I hereby agree to keep the Mill and machinery in as good (as at present) order and in the event of no fresh arrangement being entered into, to release the Scales, Trucks & etc.,in good and sound condition.

R Townsend

Richard rose from labourer, to fireman, to the management of the mill under Benjamin Walker. He subsequently became lessee for three years of the flour-mill and eventually purchased it in 1880.

Two years later he leased it to his sons, Dick and John, as his sight was failing, partly because of a boiler explosion at the mill some time previously. Following that explosion, his rescuers covered him in the froth and scum from the boiler and it is reported that he suffered no scars.

L to R;-. Martha, 10th child Richard Jun, 8th child Alice, Richard Sen.,1st child Henry(Harry).

Top Left is Richard Townsend along with others from the I.O.O.F. Lodge.

He later sold the mill to his son Dick and went into retirement. In 1884 Dick put in rollers and inaugurated the manufacture of the "Imperial" brand of roller flour, with which a very large local trade was carried on. Dick ran the mill until his death in 1927, when it was sold to AMSCOL and became a cheese and butter factory.

Richard was made a Justice of the Peace in 1908 and served on the Bench at Mount Torrens. He became one of the best known personalities of the town in his house, "Royston Cottage". He also owned "Townsend House" at the southern end of the Mill Property although it is understood that he never lived in it. Interestingly enough, both had broom handle fences.

He was a member of the Order of Oddfellows and Foresters for forty and thirty-six years respectively, and was also connected with the Church of England for a lengthy period, having held office as a church-warden.

In 1919 with the birth of Marjory Murfitt there were five generations alive at the same time. He was then 87 years old, and he was to live to have a total of five great-great-grand-children.

One of the humorous stories that was handed down about Richard, was the one about a man coming to him during the depression of the late 1890's, looking for work. Richard sent him up to the Public Cemetery to dig his grave. He later had it bricked in so it wouldn't collapse. He also had the coffins made although they were given away prior to his death. The grave was not required for another 20 years. In 1999 with the collapse of part of the slate cover, the red bricks could been seen, which proved the verbal history.

It is said that his niece, Margaret Townsend, saw it before World War I and there was a healthy eucalyptus sapling growing in it.

Richard died on Saturday l7th April, 1926 at the age of 94 years, having survived his wife by 20 years. He had 10 children, 8 of whom reached maturity and married.

He had 32 grandchildren, 4 of whom were killed in World War I.

On his death, Richard left his estate to be equally divided between his sons and daughters or their children. The estate was valued at just under £3,000 which was rather a large sum for those days.

The main street of Mount Torrens was named Townsend Street, after perhaps the town's most colourful figure, Richard Townsend, whose home happened to be in that street.

Records show that the Townsend family played an important part in the life of Mount Torrens. Alfred and brother Richard ran the Carpenters and Wheelwrights Shop while Dick and John were in the flour mill. John later dropped out of that partnership and became the local tailor.

Dick's daughters also made confectionery in Marlow Cottage. Richard also drove the hawkers van to Adelaide and return for the Sinkinson Family who ran the local store.

Richard Silver Townsend served on the Mount Pleasant Board of Advice when in 1880 it took control of the Mt. Torrens Primary School.

The families were also involved with the Bible Christian Church and the Church of England.

In 1908 Richard, almost blind wrote his last letter to his youngest son Richard Townsend at Crystal Brook.

This is the last letter that Richard Silver Townsend wrote to his youngest son, Richard Townsend of Crystal Brook South Australia. It was given to Bruce Townsend by Richard's wife, Emily in 1965.

The following is a transcription of that letter.

July 15 1908
"Dear Richard

Noted events in his life were:

• He worked as a Flour Mill Proprietor, Gold Digger,.

Richard married Martha ROGERS on 14 Apr 1851 in St. Johns Church, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.⁷ Martha was born in 1827 in Newcastle-On-Tyne, Northumberland, England, was christened on 27 Jul 1828 in Newcastle-On-Tyne, Northumberland, England,⁸ died on 16 Aug 1906 in Mount Torrens, South Australia, Australia aged 79, and was buried on 19 Aug 1906 in Mount Torrens, South Australia, Australia. They had ten children: Henry Alfred, Mary Ann Smith, Bertha, Dick, John, Alice, Alfred, Alice, Frederick and Richard.

General Notes: Martha was a colonist of 57 years, having arrived from London in 1849 and two years later married Richard Townsend.

After living a short time at what is now known as Norwood ( at that time practically a scrub ) they moved to Mount Torrens where they resided for 53 years. She and her husband were among the first few pioneers to settle in that district, and fought bravely against heavy odds. Mrs. Townsend worked by her husband's side in the fields when the only reaping machine was a sickle, and helped to punch a team of bullocks through the range to Adelaide, a trip which sometimes occupied a week for a distance of 30 miles ( 48 kms).

Martha predeceased her husband Richard on Thursday, 16th August 1906, and was laid to rest in an earlier dug and bricked up grave in the Mount Torrens Cemetery.

THIS IS A BRIEF ON THE SIX SONS OF RICHARD AND MARTHA TOWNSEND.

Henry ("Harry") was Richard's eldest son. He married at Mount Torrens and soon after moved over the border to Horsham, Victoria, where he took up a farming selection. He was mainly concerned with sheep and wheat. He remained on his farm for most of his life and finally retired to Horsham.

Dick left Mount Torrens early in life and went to live at Tarlee where he farmed and later became a blacksmith and machinist. He married at Crystal Brook and a few years later returned to Mount Torrens), where he leased and subsequently purchased the flour-mill from his father. He also owned the Crystal Brook flour-mill. His son, Bruce Townsend, became well known in sporting circles, especially cricket in which he represented the State.

John married a sister of Dick's wife and he, with Dick, leased the flour-mill from their father, but later dropped out of the partnership. He then became a tailor at Mount Torrens. John died when he was only 40 years old and was buried at Mount Torrens.

Alfred learned the milling trade from his father. He later became a wheelwright and carpenter and supervised the erection of the Arltunga Government Cyanide Works. In 1900 he took over the Totness Roller Flour-mills at Mount Pleasant, which he owned for about 15 years. Alfred later moved to the newly opened Pinnaroo-Lameroo area where he was employed as an agent and later as Town Clerk and Overseer of Works by the local Council.

Frederick, the ninth child and fifth son lived for less than two years [1/5/1871 - 28/2/1873 ]

Richard, the youngest son was named after his father, though not by him. Richard (Snr.) didn't want two Richards in the family so someone else had to register the birth and name. Richard lived for most of his life at Crystal Brook where he managed the flour-mill for his brother, Dick, who owned it. He later became District Clerk and finally set up a carpentry business in the town.

Why? asked the IO

"Well" said Towney "the Japs were holding back on their search lights, so I did it to encourage them"

Alf, like his father and brother Dick, was also involved with the flour milling industry. He served his apprenticeship to the milling trade under his father who owned the Mt. Torrens Mill

Alf's Carpenter & Wheelwright Shop next to the Blacksmith Shop at Mount Torrens

Abandoning the milling industry, he apprenticed himself to the wheelwright and carpentering trade and afterwards turned his attention in other directions, serving eleven years in various trades. He made himself conversant with machinery of various kinds, including milling appliances and mining machinery and supervised the erection of the Arltunga Government Cyanide Works at a later date, prior to which he established a wheelwright & carpentering business at Mount Torrens, and carried it on in conjunction with his brother for six years

Mr. Alf Townsend's Flourmill, Mt. Pleasant, SA

The Totness Roller Flourmills, Mount Pleasant was owned by Alf Townsend who made the purchase from Mr. Henry Giles.

It was remodeled from a stone mill by Alf when he took possession in 1900, and brought it under the Cornelius International System, since which time the annual output had been about 3,500 bags of flour, the plant being capable of turning out
fifty five (5 bushels) bags in twenty four hours.

The original steam flour mill was built by Henry Giles in 1862 when the wheat industry was flourishing, but unfortunately it only operated for a few years. This was due to a disease which destroyed the crops.

The mill chimney comes down in 1951.

It is reported that the mill burnt down on a Saturday in September 1923 and by 1951 the remaining chimney was declared unsafe and was demolished.

The Wesleyan Church was built in 1867 being the first church to be erected in Mt Pleasant. It remained a church for only seven years at which time it was purchased as an Institute in 1874. Henry Giles donated two blocks of land either side which became the Show Grounds. In 1978 the property was sold and sub-divided. The Institute building was converted to a residence and named 'Townsend House' in recognition of Alf Townsend. Interestingly enough it is situated on Showground Road.

Alf was closely associated with the progress of the Mt. Pleasant Institute and was the President. He inaugurated the movement for lighting the street of the township with acetylene gas, and was instrumental in having the institute enlarged, and a skating rink built, being generally recognised as the prime mover in all matters relating to the improvement of the place.

Alf was also a keen musician and became the secretary of the re-formed Mt Pleasant Town Band in 1907.

A medal was presented to him by the Mount Pleasant Institute, dated 5th Nov 1904.

This medal was inherited by nephew Louis Townsend and then to Joy Crosby, a great niece.

It was with interest that I read of Alf's outstanding contributions to the town of Mount Pleasant and so I quote:-

"The skating fever is still raging here and on several nights in the week, the Institute hall resounds with the whirl of the skates, relieved by a loud bumping noise and sounds of laughter.

Neither Institute Committee nor the South Rhine District Council had to lift a financial finger. Alfred Townsend netted all the funds needed to complete the Institute renovations, and also convert the existing main street oil lamps to acetylene gas globes pouring out fifty candle power each. At the same time, the Institute, the two hotels and various businesses also installed acetylene gas facilities intended to take advantage of the unheard-of brightness. With the eventual capacity to keep something like one hundred flames alight, feeder pipes came underground from one of Charles Trescowthick's Globe generators nestling protectively beside the Institute's sturdy stone buttresses, with the Institute Committee itself responsible for keeping the gas supply in order. On 23 June 1905, gas jets flickered into action, 'without a penny being raised by the townspeople'. Subsequently, the Townsend's organised a further series of skating competitions in the Springton hall to pay for renovations there, whereupon the South Rhine District Council felt wealthy enough to pay for a brand new sign over the refurbished front door.

Sadly, Alfred Townsend's fine community record did not brush off onto the district after he left for Pinnaroo in 1908. Understandably. the Mount Pleasant Institute handed over responsibility for the township's acetylene lighting system to the South Rhine Council in 1911-it was not the job of a voluntary cultural organisation to supervise municipal illumination. Council would not, or could not, operate the business properly, and after the generator finally 'gave up the ghost' in June 1916, the whole visionary affair fell into disuse. Just before the new Totness opened its doors during 1918, the South Rhine Council sold the generator, much to Alfred Townsend's dismayed protests, for he had 'kept tabs' on the sorry saga from his office as Clerk of the Pinnaroo District Council. From time to time, the rusting lamp posts in Mount Pleasant's now-unlighted main street became quite a talking point,

Visitors to Mount Pleasant seem to think we are in the dark ages, and it certainly looks like it in the evening, with only a few lights from the windows to guide those who walk abroad after sunset...

…which only the coming of electric light in 1927 put to rights."

Alf married Mary Ann MULLINS in St John's Church, Mt Pleasant in 1885. she was the daughter of Mr. P. Mullins of Mt. Torrens. They ventured to Lameroo, and it was there that he once again made his mark, in the district.

On 22nd Nov 1907 a meeting held in the Settlers Hotel Lameroo to form a vigilance committee and Alf was elected. In January 1909 Alf announced that he would undertake building work as he had secured an efficient team of carpenters.

The Smithville Hall contract was let to Alf and the Von Doussa Hall and School were erected by him in 1909 at a cost of £100.

Albert Henry Townsend a son opened a hairdresser and tobacconist shop in Railway Tce between the hours of 7p.m. - 11p.m.

Alf Townsend was instrumental in having the Bews Siding extended to hold 15 railway trucks for the purpose of handling grain. Both Alf and his son Percy Townsend were grain buyers in the first season (1909/10)

Alf bought wheat at Lameroo, Bews and Yaparra. Among other agencies he held was the stock firm Bagot, Shakes & Lewis. He sold timber from his yard next to the Institute on Railway Terrace.

Alf's Lameroo Home, Wood & Iron Yard

He was the District Clerk from the beginning of Local government in the area until the end of 1918.

Alf was one of the first Justices of the Peace appointed in September 1908.

He was successful in tendering for the erection of the Lameroo Institute Hall, a timber framed and iron construction which was lined inside with small fluted iron and completed in July 1909.

Alf was secretary of the hospital and arranged for farmers of the district to donate 1,250 bags of wheat towards the building fund together with a Government grant of £400. He drew up the plans for the building at no cost to the hospital. The
Hospital at Lameroo had a ward which was named after him. This has since been demolished. The building was opened by the Chief Secretary Mr. A W Styles on 7th June 1917.

The Council opened tenders for the position of Clerk, with 13 being received throughout the state. Alf's tender was accepted. His front room was used by the Council for meetings, as Alf was the first Town Clerk. He finally resigned as Clerk and Overseer on 14th Nov 1918

He was instrumental in deputising the Government and the Railways for many things, amongst which was the erection of platforms etc. at the Lameroo Railway Station.

Alf was presented with a medal from the I. O.O.F. Lodge dated 10th March 1915.

This medal was inherited by Louis Townsend.

This Certificate of Sympathy was presented to Alf at the passing of his devoted wife in 1916.

Alf was closely associated with is younger brother Richard, who had ventured to Lameroo to assist with the building of new homes in the town. Richard's first tools were purchased from Harris Scarfe on the account of his brother Alf Townsend of Mount Torrens.

Mr. Alf Townsend's Flourmill, Mt. Pleasant, SA

The Totness Roller Flourmills, Mount Pleasant where the Proprietor was Alf Townsend was modeled from a stone mill by Mr. Henry Giles, and carried on by for thirty five years. Giles built the original steam driven mill in 1862 when the wheat industry was booming. The mill then only operated for a few years as disease ruined the crops.

It was remodeled from a stone mill by Alf when he took possession in 1900, and brought under the Cornelius International System, since which time the annual output has been about 3,500 bags of flour, the plant being capable of turning out fifty
five (5 bushels) bags in twenty four hours.

It is reported that the mill was burnt out in the September of 1923, and the remaining chimney was declared unsafe and demolished in 1951. In 2004 the only remains are these few stones oposite Wilksch"s Garage.

The Wesleyan Methodist Church was built in 1858 the first church in Mt Pleasant. In 1874/75 the building was purchased as an Institute. Henry Giles who originally built the Flour Mill in 1862, donated two blocks of land on either side of the Institute which became the Show Grounds. In 1978 the the old Show Grounds were sold and the the land was sub-divided.

He ventured to Lameroo, and it was there that he once again made his mark, having the iron and timber yard. His front room was used by the Council for meetings, as Alf was the first Town Clerk.


He was the agent in town for many things. He was instrumental in deputising the Government and the Railways for many things, amongst which was the erection of platforms etc. at the Lameroo Railway Station.

Alfred Townsend was one of the first Justices of the Peace to be appointed in September 1908.

Alf was involved with the lodge and was presented with a medal from the I.O.O.F. Lodge dated 10th March 1915. This was later given to Louis Townsend.



This Certificate of Sympathy was presented to Alf at the passing of his devoted wife in 1916.

He was closely associated with is younger brother Richard, who had ventured to Lameroo to assist with the building of new homes in the town. Richard's first tools were purchased from Harris Scarfe on the account of his brother Alf Townsend of Mount Torrens.

Alf was very involved in community affairs and also the Odd Fellows Lodge. He too was almost blind, possibly from cataracts. It was suggested that the milling industry may be the cause of this. Bertha was unable to care for him and it is understood she administered wine to him on a regular basis. While Louis Townsend was visiting his uncle at Brighton he begged him to be admitted to a Nursing Home. So he was placed in a home off Cross Roads one street above the Hawthorn Railway Crossing. It was there that he died and was laid to rest in the Church of England Cemetery at Brighton. Mrs. Payne from Glenelg and Louis were the only two at the funeral.

Bertha was taken out of the nursing home by her sisters to a farm in the Eudunda / Kapunda area and cared for.

The Rocking Chair in Louis' Home came from the estate. A sister in-law of Bertha, a Mrs. Payne of Hahndorf, handed back a Snuff Box to Richard (Bruce) Townsend at the ANZ Bank Ltd. at Hahndorf in about 1966. Given to Richard Silver Townsend, by his father and is expected to be continually handed down to a Richard Townsend..

Neither Institute Committee nor the South Rhine District Council had to lift a financial finger. Alfred Townsend netted all the funds needed to complete the Institute renovations, and also convert the existing main street oil lamps to acetylene gas globes pouring out fifty candle power each. At the same time, the Institute, the two hotels and various businesses also installed acetylene gas facilities intended to take advantage of the unheard-of brightness. With the eventual capacity to keep something like one hundred flames alight, feeder pipes came underground from one of Charles Trescowthick's Globe generators nestling protectively beside the Institute's sturdy stone buttresses, with the Institute Committee itself responsible for keeping the gas supply in order. On 23 June 1905, gas jets flickered into action, 'without a penny being raised by the townspeople'. Subsequently, the Townsend's organised a further series of skating competitions in the Springton hall to pay for renovations there, whereupon the South Rhine District Council felt wealthy enough to pay for a brand new sign over the refurbished front door.

Sadly, Alfred Townsend's fine community record did not brush off onto the district after he left for Pinnaroo in 1908. Understandably. the Mount Pleasant Institute handed over responsibility for the township's acetylene lighting system to the South Rhine Council in 1911-it was not the job of a voluntary cultural organisation to supervise municipal illumination. Council would not, or could not, operate the business properly, and after the generator finally 'gave up the ghost' in June 1916, the whole visionary affair fell into disuse. Just before the new Totness opened its doors during 1918, the South Rhine Council sold the generator, much to Alfred Townsend's dismayed protests, for he had 'kept tabs' on the sorry saga from his office as Clerk of the Pinnaroo District Council. From time to time, the rusting lamp posts in Mount Pleasant's now-unlighted main street became quite a talking point,

Visitors to Mount Pleasant seem to think we are in the dark ages, and it certainly looks like it in the evening, with only a few lights from the windows to guide those who walk abroad after sunset...…which only the coming of electric light in 1927 put to rights."

He married in 1885, Mary Ann MULLINS, daughter of Mr. P. Mullins of Mt. Torrens. They ventured to Lameroo, and it was there that he once again made his mark, in the district.

On 22nd Nov 1907 a meeting held in the Settlers Hotel Lameroo to form a vigilance committee and Alf was elected. In January 1909 Alf announced that he would undertake building work as he had secured an efficient team of carpenters.

The Smithville Hall contract was let to Alf and the Von Doussa Hall and School were erected by him in 1909 at a cost of £100.

Albert Henry Townsend a son opened a hairdresser and tobacconist shop in Railway Tce between the hours of 7p.m. - 11p.m.

Alf Townsend was instrumental in having the Bews Siding extended to hold 15 railway trucks for the purpose of handling grain. Both Alf and his son Percy Townsend were grain buyers in the first season (1909/10)

Alf bought wheat at Lameroo, Bews and Yaparra. Among other agencies he held was the stock firm Bagot, Shakes & Lewis. He sold timber from his yard next to the Institute on Railway Terrace.

He was the District Clerk from the beginning of Local government in the area until the end of 1918.

Alf was one of the first Justices of the Peace appointed in September 1908.

He was successful in tendering for the erection of the Lameroo Institute Hall, a timber framed and iron construction which was lined inside with small fluted iron and completed in July 1909.

Alf was secretary of he hospital and arranged for farmers of the district to donate1,250 bags of wheat towards the building fund together with a Government grant of £400. he drew up the plans for the building at no cost to the hospital. The Hospital at Lameroo had a ward was named after him. This has since been demolished. The building was opened by the Chief Secretary Mr. A W Styles on 7th June 1917.

The Council opened tenders for the position of Clerk, with 13 being received throughout the state. Alf's tender was accepted. His front room was used by the Council for meetings, as Alf was the first Town Clerk. He finally resigned as Clerk and Overseer on 14th Nov 1918

He was instrumental in deputising the Government and the Railways for many things, amongst which was the erection of platforms etc. at the Lameroo Railway Station.

Alf was involved with the lodge and was presented with a medal from the I. O.O.F. Lodge dated 10th March 1915. This was later given to Louis Townsend.]


This Certificate of Sympathy was presented to Alf at the passing of his devoted wife in 1916.


He was closely associated with is younger brother Richard, who had ventured to Lameroo to assist with the building of new homes in the town. Richard's first tools were purchased from Harris Scarfe on the account of his brother Alf Townsend of Mount Torrens.

His second marriage was however to the Matron, Bertha Payne.

They removed to Virginia S.A. where he owned the only shop and petrol station in town.. Alf also had a bowling rink on his property. Beatrice his daughter suffered a convulsion while his brother Richard was there. He was sent in the Model T Ford to Salisbury to get the doctor. Alf called to the housekeeper, "Miss Chamber bring the chamber". Beatrice died there.

Alf and Bertha removed again, this time to No.1 Methuen Street, Fitzroy, [Prospect] on 10/4/1932 to retire. Their next move was to Brighton, to No.4 Yarmouth Street on 24/5/42. Alf was very involved in community affairs and also the Odd Fellows Lodge. He too was almost blind, possibly from cataracts. It was suggested that the milling industry may be the cause of this. Bertha was unable to care for him and it is understood she administered wine to him on a regular basis. While Louis Townsend was visiting his uncle at Brighton he begged him to be admitted to a Nursing Home. So he was placed in a home off Cross Roads one street above the Hawthorn Railway Crossing. It was there that he died aged 91 years 110 days, and was laid to rest in the Church of England Cemetery at Brighton. Mrs. Payne from Glenelg and Louis were the only two at the funeral.

Bertha was taken out of the nursing home by her sisters to a farm in the Eudunda / Kapunda area and cared for.

A sister in-law of Bertha, a Mrs. Payne of Hahndorf, handed back a Snuff Box to Richard (Bruce) Townsend at the ANZ Bank Ltd. at Hahndorf in about 1966. Given to Richard Silver Townsend, by his father and is expected to be continually handed down to a Richard Townsend..

Richard's Tools of Trade

In about 1889 Richard drove a horse-drawn Hawkers Van from Mount Torrens, to the Hotel at the East End of Rundle Street, Adelaide. This was done for Mr. Sinkinson the local grocer. He would collect eggs and butter from farm houses on his way down past the Eagle on the Hill Hotel and he returned with the groceries.

He told stories of the live eagle, which was in a large cage next to the hotel.
He also worked at his fathers Flourmill.

In approx. 1898 he was working at a dairy on Unley Road, possibly one he passed in the Hawker Van. It was there that he had his tools of trade delivered to commence work with his brother Alf in the Wheelwright & Carpentry business.

Tools were purchased from Geo. P. Harris Scarfe & Co., Gawler Place, Adelaide on 24th Sept. 1898. A Disstons Marking Gauge cost 3d. Clyde Townsend, his Grandson, still has some of these tools in 1999. These tools were delivered to Unley Road & Fisher Street where Richard was working in a dairy.

Richard roofed the Methodist Church at Mt. Torrens. It is reported that he assisted with the building of a Reaper at Ucolta near to Peterborough.

In 1900 he moved to Crystal Brook where he managed the Steam-driven Flour-Mill for his brother Dick Townsend of Mount Torrens. This mill was opposite the railway line on the northern side and a line was rented from the mill to the station yard. The Mill was burnt to the ground in 1905 and it was never rebuilt.

Richard attended church at Crystal Brook, which is where he would have met the Hamlyns. He married Emily Hamlyn in the Methodist Church Crystal Brook on Wednesday the 3rd Dec. 1902.

Their first home was on the north side of the Crystal Brook Creek. They moved to Main Street opposite the Engineering and Water Supply.

Richard ventured to Lameroo around 1915, to construct houses as his brother Alf was there working. He also completed the timber work on his brother-in-law, Arthur Forder's house at Laura. He worked as a carpenter for Ned Whitehead and made coffins for Mr. Estick the undertaker at Crystal Brook.

Richard worked for the District Council of Crystal Brook as Clerk and Overseer of Works for seven years until August of 1925. It is understood that he was asked to retire from the position, as he held no qualifications and union pressure was being applied to the council. It was at this time that Richard applied for a position on the Mt. Barker Council. He had many references to submit, some have been produced on the following pages.

He was then employed by the Waterworks Department as a carpenter and was kept on in meter repairs until he retired in 1938.

He worked part time as caretaker of the Institute for many years.

Richard was also the secretary of the Crystal Brook Lodge from 1915 and was presented with a writing bureau with a lead light door. He was secretary of the Bowling Club of Crystal Brook and secretary of the Tennis Club for ten years.

Richard married Emily HAMLYN,⁵¹ daughter of Aaron HAMLYN and Louisa E RAISON, on 3 Dec 1902 in Crystal Brook, South Australia, Australia.⁵² Emily was born on 25 Feb 1880 in Crystal Brook, South Australia, Australia,⁵¹ died on 27 Jul 1971 in Crystal Brook, South Australia, Australia⁴⁶ aged 91, and was buried in Jul 1971 in Crystal Brook Cemetery.⁵³ The cause of her death was Stroke. They had one son: Louis Rogers.

General Notes: Emily Hamlyn was born on Wednesday 25th February 1880, being the sixth child of Aaron and Louisa. She grew up on the family farm which was situated on the Crystal Brook to Merriton road, opposite the Venning Property. She has reported that they made their first home in a mud and pine hut.

At the age of 22 years she married Richard Townsend, on Wednesday, 3rd December 1902. Richard had come to Crystal Brook to manage the only flour mill to be established there. Their first home was on the northern side of Crystal Brook Creek, a little further along from where the present Golf Club is situated.

They raised one child, Louis, who was born on 15th March 1912. The house was situated on a couple of blocks, one with an orchard containing oranges, lemons, peaches, apricots, loquats, almonds, mandarins and grapes, while along the back was Louis's carpenters shop and the "chook yard".

Emily was very proud of her flower gardens. She had one at the front of the house and another along the side fence they were always filled with plenty of fresh flowers.

They owned a Model T Ford which was later traded for a modern Ford Anglia.

Emily was an active little lady, keenly interested in church and town affairs. She was presented with a cruet set from the Methodist Endeavours in 1902. She was very strict in her ways and quick to offer advice. Sunday was a day of rest, and with the exception of going to church, eating & feeding the animals, that was observed. When the front porch extension was built onto the front of the Methodist Church, Emily was asked, as the oldest living member, to declare it open.

She was known by her grand children as "Little Grandma" or as she preferred 'Grandmother'. And you guessed it he was called "Little Grandpa".

On the Australia Day weekends, Louis and family always returned to knock the almonds from the large almond tree which stood in the front corner of the fruit block. As a treat Emily would have killed and cooked a fowl to celebrate Bruce's Birthday.

When Richard died it brought to a close a marriage of some 48 years. Despite having a single sister in the same street, Emily continued to live by herself for a further twenty years. A very frugal woman she would sit in the dark at night and listen to her radio, as her evenings entertainment, following which time she would change for bed by the light from the corner street light, which would stream through the bedroom window; the ETSA meter reader was sent to check the consumption as it was so very low. She suffered a stroke and managed to crawl to the neighbours for help and when aged 91 years, she fell and broke her hip.

On Tuesday 27th July 1971 she passed away aged 91 years 152 days. She was laid to rest alongside Richard in the Crystal Brook Cemetery. She was one of the oldest residents to had lived in Crystal Brook for her entire life.

Noted events in her life were:

• She worked as a Home Duties.

• She resided at Crystal Brook.

6-Louis Rogers TOWNSEND ⁵⁴ was born on 15 Mar 1912 in Crystal Brook, South Australia, Australia,⁵⁵ was christened on 19 May 1912 in Methodist Church Of Australia, died on 20 Jun 2003 in Whyalla, South Australia, Australia aged 91, and was buried on 24 Jun 2003 in Whyalla Garden Cemetery.

General Notes: Louis was the only child of Richard and Emily born Friday the 15th March 1912 at Crystal Brook. He attended school there and later commuted daily to the Gladstone High by train, leaving at 7.30 am to return by 8.00 p.m.. He also attended Adelaide High School boarding at Unley and later with Mr. & Mrs. Brechin. He studied Accounting and Commercial Law by Correspondence with Hemmingway & Robinson.

Soon after returning from school Louis was employed by Sam Threadgold as the first paper boy to deliver the Advertiser in Crystal Brook. Louis was working a press at Heaslip's when he lost part of his fingers, but in retirement he lost the tops of more fingers on the buzzer (Electric Planer) while he was baby sitting his grand-daughter.

He was very involved in the Methodist Church and became a Local Preacher taking his first service at the age of twenty one.

Louis was at his Uncle Job's at Clare for his 21st Birthday and he received this letter from his father expressing the proudness of the family name Townsend which he has always upheld throughout his life.

On Wednesday night, after Choir Practice on the 25th November 1936 he married Pirie Elizabeth Slater in the Crystal Brook Methodist Church.

They built a home in Brandis Street, Crystal Brook, together with the assistance of his father and his brother-in-law, Len Slater who was constructing a home at the same time, two doors away. In 1937 Louis joined the S. A. Railways where he worked as a carpenter in the Peterborough Division. He also worked for the S.A. Wheat Board mouse proofing and roofing the 'wheat stacks'.

On 26th January 1938 at Crystal Brook, Pirie gave birth to their first child. He was named Richard Bruce after each of his grandfathers. They lived at the Brook until Bruce commenced school. Louis had taken up employment with the B.H.P. at Whyalla as a carpenter on 17th October 1940.

Louis was one of the early arrivals at Whyalla, and lived in a tent on the beach until cubicles were built near the Town Workshop for the single living men.

During, and following the war years Louis was involved in the issuing of Ration Tickets for such things as Petrol, Clothing, Tea and Butter. This was a Commonwealth System that made it possible for every person to have an even share of available commodities.

Pirie gave birth at Whyalla to another son and a daughter, Clyde and Joy.

While living in a Housing Trust House at 40 Goodman Street, Louis purchased his first car. It was a four seater, Flying Standard Tourer, green in colour. It had two doors which opened from the front and a canvas hood which was rarely folded down. Bruce was in later years allowed to was it regularly and clean the spark plugs.

Unused Ration Tickets

Louis was very involved in his community, being secretary of the Carpenters & Joiners Union, Returning Officer for State & Federal Elections for many years, Honorary Member of the Hospital Board for 10 Years, served on the Whyalla Town Commission, was Sunday School Superintendent for fifteen years and Local Preacher in excess of sixty years.

Pirie with Louis receiving a certificate for 50 years as a Local Preacher.

Louis progressed within the shipyard to become the timber inspector and at that time was transferred to the Whyalla Hospital to run the newly formed Medical Scheme. He served on the staff for a period of 13 years from 1953 to 1966, when he was presented with a wrist-watch. From there he worked as the accountant for Richard's Bakery at Essington Lewis Avenue, Whyalla. Finally back to the B.H.P. Credit Union, as Loans Manager until his retirement.

Both he and Pirie continued their involvement in the Uniting Church. Louis spent his spare time in the garage on the woodworking machinery making 'Click Clacks' for sale to 'Jig Saw' a Melbourne based toy company. He stopped when he had made 22,000. The proceeds paid for the reroofing of St. Andrews Church & the cost of a new electronic church organ for Peters St. Uniting Church both at Whyalla.

In his mid eighties he is still active and drives his Nissan Pulsar long distances, without concern although he now makes regular stops.

Following Pirie's death, Louis again put his heart and soul back into working for the Church after he felt a calling from his Lord. He conducts weekday services at the various Nursing Homes and the Hospital in Whyalla. This is in addition to his preaching commitments at Whyalla and Iron Knob.

On 14th February 1999 he preached at Peters Street Uniting Church, Whyalla at a Special Church Service commemorating his 60 years of Lay Preaching.

From The NEW TIMES, a Uniting Church Monthly Magazine.

At age ninety Louis visited the Mount Torrens Primary School with son Bruce on 25th September 2002 to present a framed color copy of the Certificate of Merit presented to his father in 1886. He spoke to the students of the early days in Mt Torrens.

January 2003 Louis went to Melbourne with hs son Clyde after spending Christmas with all his family in the Gawler area. He experienced problems keeping his food down and so was admitted to hospital where a 90% blockage was discovered. 16th January a "Stint " was inserted into the oesophagus to allow food to pass. On his return to Whyalla he made the decission to spend the remainder of his life in his own home until hospital was the last resort.

Bruce and Joy took turns in caring for him from April until he was admitted to hospital on 16th June. He died peacefully on Friday 20th June 2003 just 50 days short of his mother's age. He was laid to rest with Pirie on 24th June after a
great Thanks Giving Service at Peters Street Uniting Church which was full to overflowing.

Louis married Pirie Elizabeth SLATER, daughter of Robert Bruce SLATER and Alice Mabel Sayer HEWETT, on 25 Nov 1936 in Crystal Brook, South Australia, Australia.⁵⁶ Pirie was born on 4 Mar 1907 in Port Pirie, South Australia, Australia,⁵⁷ died on 13 Jul 1997 in Whyalla, South Australia, Australia aged 90, and was buried on 16 Jul 1997 in Whyalla Garden Cemetery. They had three children: Richard Bruce, Clyde Louis and Elizabeth Joy.

General Notes: Pirie, the second child of Bruce and May Slater was born at Port Pirie on 4th March 1907. She tells that her Grandmother was the first white lady to live full time in Port Pirie, and thus she was so named. She attended the Pirie West Primary School and the Port Pirie High School.

In 1997 it is interesting to note that Pirie had been taught Reading, Spelling, Writing, Arithmetic, Composition and Drawing.

Following the sale of her father's General Store on the Terrace, they moved to Crystal Brook. Pirie worked for her Auntie Frances Pavy for about ten years.

She was very involved in the Methodist Church and Sunday School as a teacher and a leader. In her earlier years she joined the Band of Hope after signing the Pledge not to drink alcohol. She was instrumental in helping to form a branch of the Methodist Girls Comrades, and became the first Director holding badge No. 1.

On the 25th November 1936 she married Louis Townsend and they built a home in Brandis Street, Crystal Brook. While there, their first child Bruce was born.

On 12th October 1940 Louis ventured to Whyalla to work as a carpenter & joiner for the B.H.P. In 1943 he obtained a Trust Home at 40 Goodman St, and it was the 3rd December that same year that Pirie and Bruce moved to Whyalla permanently.
Bruce recalls his mother sneaking to the bedroom cupboard to listen to "Blue Hills" a serial on the radio, as they could not afford a wireless licence for a short period.

Two more children were born at Whyalla, Clyde and Joy. Pirie supported the school welfare activities, serving in the Tuck Shops (now referred to as the Canteen). She was still very heavily involved in the Methodist Church, the Sunday School and Ladies Guild.

At age eighty-two years she gave up the position of Treasurer of the Ladies Guild but still continued to sort clothing and cut rags for sale. She continued as convenor of the Work Stall at St. Andrews Fairs.

Louis & Pirie Townsend celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary 1986.

Her health was failing, with regular black-outs causing her to become almost bed ridden. A new doctor examined her and organised for her to be flown to Adelaide by air ambulance to have a 'pacemaker' fitted. This forced her heart to beat regularly and from that point she was up and about.

With her slight loss of memory, Louis cared for her at home, to a point beyond the call of marriage.

They had Meals on Wheels serve them five days a week and a cleaning lady called once a fortnight. Luckily a vacancy in the Annie Lockwood Hostel, just a block away from home, became available, enabling Pirie to be accommodated with 24 hour care. She had an ideal, clean room with private facilities and a view of the sea similar to that of their home. Louis would visit her for four hours daily with the nurses occasionally noting him reading his book with his eyes closed.

A Thank You letter from Pirie Townsend.

In 1996 they celebrated 60 years of marriage with messages of congratulation from The Queen, Prime Minister, Governor, Premier and many more. Friends and family gathered to help celebrate.

Pirie survived both her brother, Len Slater, of Seacliff and her sister, Rilda Kelly of Crystal Brook.

Pirie slept away on Sunday morning, the 13th July 1997 ending a marriage of 60 years 230 days.

She was laid to rest in the Garden Cemetery Whyalla, following a Thanks Giving Service in the Peters Street Uniting Church. The church was packed and all of her children and grand-children and most of her great-grand-children were present. The service conducted by Norma Matters, with music from the organ, piano & cornet combined.

Noted events in her life were:

General Notes: Bruce was born at Crystal Brook Hospital and grew up near his Grandparents' Townsend and Slater until 1943, his first year at Primary School. At the close of that school year Bruce and his Mother moved to Whyalla where his father was working.

He spent many holidays with his cousins on the Kelly Farm which was on the Redhill Road, out from Crystal Brook. It was there he collected bones and paper for the School Patriotic Fund (SPF) Funds raised were used to purchase good for the soldiers at war.

He attended the Whyalla Town School for a short while until the Whyalla South School was built. It was there that he received his Progress Certificate.

Bruce at 2 years 9½ months

He finished school at the Whyalla Technical High at Leaving Standard (4th year).

As a youth he was a member of 1st Whyalla Troop of Boy Scouts Association; as a Senior Queen Scout he was invited to open the door of the Royal Car for Queen Elizabeth 2nd & Duke of Edinburgh on their visit to Whyalla in 1952. As a scout he won bicycle trials for courtesy. Sport was not important to him, as he was ever watchful of things happening around him, with a special interest in wood.

While still at school he worked on Saturday mornings, filling turps and kerosene bottles for Clarksons.

He Joined the ANZ Bank Ltd. in 1955 at Whyalla, relieved at Port Pirie and Wirrabara & was soon transferred to Alice Springs, NT for over two years. There he hand wrote the ledgers while the manager used a hand operated machine to print the statements. It was there he met Nancy Horsted who was holidaying with her Aunt Dorothy from Colac.

After 10 months of weekly letters they once again met and Nancy moved to Adelaide to live and find employment. They later announced their engagement.

The first car Bruce purchased was a 1932 Triumph Tourer, single seater.

It was dark grey until Bruce painted it light grey with red and white flashes. It had a leather fan belt and no water-pump. The differential had a brass crown wheel which was stripped going up Mount Osmond, but luckily was replaceable.

The following year they married in Colac 14/5/1960. They lived at Glandore where both Richard and Garry started their lives. They all attended the Maughan Methodist Church where Bruce sang in the choir. The family car was then a 1955 Austin A30 into which they all squeezed.

Pamela was born while at Mt. Barker & Trevor at Renmark. Bruce was involved with the church the camera club and the local kindergarten, where he held various positions at both Mt. Barker and Renmark.. Bruce was transferred to Pt. Pirie as Branch Accountant. Still on community committees he joined the Theatre Guild , Pt. Pirie Coral Group, & Jaycees. The family was involved with tennis, school, kindie & the Congregational Church. Bruce was knocked off his moped on the way to work, suffering damage to his left eye sight. He appeared in the TV Series "Bonnie" playing the role of the minister of religion, alongside Googie Withers. This was filmed at Gulnare, SA. He co-ordinated and helped to build the JC Train which he spray painted red with the vacuum cleaner.

A transfer to Gawler allowed them to buy their first house. Still involved with school council, church choir, he became the Inaugural President of Barossa Valley Jaycees and in the same year commenced Gawler Jaycees. Jaycee is a young peoples organisation for self development, certainly involved the whole family in many ways especially while Bruce was the Eastern Regional President. He received the highest honour when awarded a Senatorship of JCI. His number was 26,206. Refusing to transfer from Gawler because of his commitment to his family the bank did not look upon his promotion favourably. He served in Bankcard Dept. as supervisor of customer service & instrumented training, then served on relieving staff until transfer to Northern Administration, Losses, Frauds & Forgeries. While there he was injured as a passenger in a Motor Vehicle Accident in April 1988.

He became the Inaugural President of Gawler Kiwanis Club in 1988 being involved in the community. He purchased many Pianolas and restored more than forty. This along with tuning was to be part of his retirement program, cabinet making the other, but the injuries put paid to that full time ambition. He made toys, furniture, doors, etc. for his family as he loved to work with wood and be creative.

He made two pianola rolls by hand, using a razor blade to cut the slots after transposing from sheet music. He owns ten pianolas in various stages of repair and when time is available, restores the working parts.

He worked hard to research the family tree of Hamlyn, from his father's mother's side. After 15 months of concerted effort, Bruce had the book, 'The House of Hamlyn' printed, of which he should be justly proud. While his father could help with stories, he updated the Townsend History. The next challenge was the book "The House of Horsted" which was produced for a book launch at Port Fairy in Victoria. Bruce has accepted the position of meeting critic for the Penguin Club of Gawler.

Noted events in his life were:

She also attended, with her mother the Ladies Guild Meetings Being a close knit community, most people were involved with church and local sports. The Hall and Oval were also at the corner. Both Nancy and Eric attended dances and youth club there together.

At home, Nancy helped with the milking and duties around the farm. She also learnt to cook and keep house and garden with her mother as teacher.

During the shearing season Nancy would venture north to Mortlake. It was there that the Erwin Family needed her help cook and serve meals to the shearers.

Her cousin Doris Black, was working at Alice Springs as the cook at Griffiths House and her mother, Dorothy Black asked Nancy if she would travel with her to visit. Nancy did so and met a young man there who courted her for some nine hours in total. She wrote many letters during the next months until Bruce visited her at Tomahawk Creek, Victoria.

Nancy moved to Adelaide to secure work. She commenced as housekeeper / cook for Mr & Mrs John Tanner at Springfield. They were strict brethren and unfortunately Nancy had her radio on : this met with disapproval. She soon found work with a nice family the Baggots, who had a mansion on Fitzroy Terrace. Nancy helped with the entertaining, cooking and serving breakfasts and attending to the children. She had her own bedroom and lounge there. While working there, her parents came to collect her when she developed chicken-pox.

Following the death of her father, William Townsend in September 1878, Emily inherited his residence "Marlow Cottage ' West Mitcham together with the five acres attached. She later sold this property and purchased a home on Elphyn Road, Kingswood to be nearer her sister. She like other siblings became very deaf in her old age and was one of the first residents to take up accommodation in the Home for Incurables at Malvern.

General Notes: Mary Ann Townsend was born Saturday 27th June 1840, the first of the children born in Adelaide. She obviously took the name of her mother.
As she grew old enough she moved to the Strathalbyn area and worked as a seamstress, possibly being taught by mother or sister Emily.

They were married on Monday, 28th October 1861 at James residence by Henry Cole of the Primitive Methodist Church.

In 1872 their daughter Lily Emily was born at Hindmarsh, as was Frederick and Maria so we could expect that they had moved from the Strathalbyn area in the early 1870s.

James was killed in Adelaide on Thursday 15th February 1877 following which Mary Ann removed to Strathalbyn where she continued to be employed until she married George Butt Drew. That marriage took place on Saturday, 7th July 1883 at the Baptist Parsonage, Hindmarsh.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
The City Coroner (Mr. T. Ward, J .P.) held an inquest at the Adelaide Hospital on Thursday afternoon, February 15, on the body of James Turner, a drayman, who died in the above institution on Wednesday afternoon, February 14. Mr. W. Blinman was chosen Foreman of the Jury. Thomas Conway, a boy, son of John Conway, of Brompton, stated that about ten minutes past 5 on Wednesday morning, as he was passing Mr. Shearing's brickfield, he heard groans, and on looking down the pughole saw a man lying on his back. Called Mr. Turton and Mr. Shearing, who both went down into the hole. Then went for the police, while Mr. Shearing went for Dr. Seabrook. By a Juror \emdash Did not see any signs of scuffling on the ground. James Turton, of Carrondown, corroborated the last witness's evidence regarding the finding of the man, and added that only the upper part of the body was visible, the remainder being covered with mud. Deceased was moaning and unable to speak, and was frothing at the mouth. Wetted his lips with water, but he could not swallow any. His eyes were fixed, and he looked like a man in a fit. Undid his tie and neck-band. Attempted to lift deceased, but could not, as he was so firmly stuck in the mud. Mr. Shearing and the police then came with brandy, and with their assistance deceased was removed out of the hole. He was examined by Dr. Seabrook, who advised his removal to the Hospital, and he was accordingly sent there. Examined the hole to see where deceased fell, but could not find any traces, they having been no doubt washed away by the heavy rains. Thought it would be safer to have pug holes fenced in. By the Foreman \emdash The hole was about 16 feet in depth. By Jurors \emdash Was working about 100 yards from the pughole. Did not hear any noise during the night. Was not sure that the back part of Mr. Shearing's brickyard was fenced. The road through it is not a thoroughfare. Should think from the appearance of the body that deceased fell down the hole before the heavy rains began. The pughole is fenced in on one side, and is about five feet from the outside fence. There were openings from the road to it. Deceased was lying in the middle of the hole. William Shearing, of Carrondown, corroborated the evidence of previous witnesses, and stated that the brickyard was fenced in securely with the exception of a few openings which were left for drays to enter. Deceased was a stranger to him. George Walkley, of Hindmarsh, deposed that he was going home by the 11.15 p.m. train on Tuesday evening in the same carriage as deceased. Got out with him at the Bowden Station. He did not appear to have any com panion. Believe he took the Bowden road after getting out of the train. Robert Cook, of Hindmarsh, said he had known deceased for some years. He was a dray man at the Hindmarsh Brewery. Last saw him alive at Bowden Station. Got into the train with him at Adelaide. One of the Jurors and two friends of deceased here stated that they had known him for some years, and that they had always found him a steady, sober, and industrious man. Patrick O'Connor, police-constable at Hind marsh, deposed to information being given at the Police Station that deceased had been found in the pughole, and also as to his removal to the Hospital. William Gardner, Senior House - Surgeon, stated that deceased was admitted into the Hospital at half-past 7 on Wednesday morning in an unconscious state. Examined him, and found that his collar-bone was broken in several places. Considered the case hopeless from the first. Deceased never recovered consciousness, and died at half -past 8 the same evening. Made a post-mortem examination, and found the right collar-bone broken in several places. One of the fragments had wounded the lung. The right side of the chest was full of blood, and there was a large effusion of blood into the muscles of the back. On opening the brain found an effusion of blood on the right side. The third bone in the spine was separated from the fourth, and there was a fracture of the fourth rib at its junction with the spine. The cause of death was the injury to the spinal cord in consequence of the dis placement of the bones. Deceased was a very heavy man. James Hammill, police-constable, stated that he had examined the pugholes at Carrondown where the deceased was found. It was fenced on the north side. The place where the body was found was about 10 feet from the outside fence, which was very insecure. The pughole was not on deceased's way home, but he might have mistaken his way. The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, referred to the insecure way in which the Hindmarsh brickfields were fenced in. He recommended them to call the attention of the Hindmarsh Corporation to the matter. There was no doubt about the cause of death, as fewer injuries to a body than Dr. Gardner had de scribed would cause death. There was no evidence to show that deceased had quarrelled with anyone. He felt sure that deceased had accidentally fallen down, his sight being bad, and it being a very dark night. The Jury without retiring returned the fol lowing verdict:\emdash 'That the deceased, James Turner, came to his death by falling into a pug hole on the premises of Mr. Shearing, of Carrondown. They wished to call the attention of the Hindmarsh Corporation to the defective condition of the fences round the brickfields in the vicinity.

General Notes: "A FAMILY AT THE FRONT

FINE HINDMARSH RECORD

"WHEN I GET BACK HOME IN THE TRENCHES"

Many noble family records of patriotism have been noted recently where whole families almost have answered the call to the colors. Comparable with any of these is the record achieved by the male members of the family of Mr. William Turner, of Sixth street, Bowden. He has a family of seven sons. Three of these are already at Gallipoli, two are now in camp preparing to go to the front, and one of the other two (who are both married) offered himself, but was rejected as medically unfit. William Turner (31) joined the colors in New South Wales. He was at Tarella Station and went into Liverpool Camp. His father had not heard a word from him since he left Australia with one of the early batches until Monday last, when a letter came. Mr. Turner wrote to his son, but the letter came back through the returned letter office. He was therefore naturally apprehensive as to the son's safety. The letter which arrived contained the news that William was still one of the fortunate ones and uninjured.

Lance-Corporal L. K. Turner (24) and Private G. A. Turner (19) were lucky enough to have gone together right through the campaign, until the former was injured \emdash "not seriously," according to the Defence Department's brief notification. They enlisted the same day, had consecutive numbers, left with the first reinforcements, and joined the "Glorious 10th" at Lemnos Island. They were both partakers in the ever-memorable, doings of "Sunday, April 25." So small is the world after all that they found themselves fighting shoulder to shoulder with a cousin Charles Clark (son of Mr. Turner's sister), who enlisted from Murray Bridge. Mr. Turner received a telegram on August 9 to the effect that Len. had been wounded, and the same day a cablegram, arrived stating that they were both well on July 18. It would be interest- ing to know the history of that cable between July 18 and August 9. The last news from George was that he was at one of the hospitals. He briefly said that writing material and time were short, but when he "got back home in the trenches" he would write at length. The former and these two boys' had been working at Cook's, in Rundle street, for a number of years. The latter was in the cycle business at Hindmansh working at Hooker's for about five years.

Private Frank James Turner (32), who is a married man living in Hindmarsh, went into camp on Monday. Private Frederick John Turner (26), who is also a married man, joined the colors about five weeks ago. Both were glass blowers. and they intend trying, as their brothers at the front have done, to get together. S. J. Turner (28) offered for service some three months ago, but was rejected on account of his teeth. He is a married man with a family. Mr. William Turner (the father) is an old resident of Hindmarsh, having lived with, and brought up his family \emdash who many years ago lost their mother \emdash at Sixth street, Bowden. Mr. Roy Turner, the one who has not yet felt duty's call, was married a few weeks ago." - from the Adelaide Daily Herald 03 Sep 1915 (nla.gov.au)
