[[File:St Georges Church Gawler.jpg|left|thumb|400x400px]]
The first Church of England services in Gawler were conducted in 1839 in the little sitting room at the home of [[Reid John|Mr. John Reid]] at [[Clonlea Homestead|Clonlea]] (on the north bank of the North Para River in line with Murray Street). At this time there were no houses in Gawler. The first Colonial Chaplain [[Howard Rev C B|Rev. C. B. Howard]] occasionally rode his horse 25 miles from Adelaide’s Holy Trinity Church to minister where necessary. During 1845 the Rev. James Farrell, the Colonial Chaplain of Holy Trinity, Adelaide, chaired a meeting of the Members of Friends of the Church of England and £100 was raised for the building of a Church at Gawler.

In 1846, the [[Coombs Canon William Henry|Rev. William Henry Coombs]] (formerly curate of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields, London was sent out from England by “The Society of the Propagation of the Gospel”. Services were held in the basement of the [[Victoria Mill]], (then under construction). This was the beginning of Rev. Coomb’s 50 years of service to the Anglican Church, Gawler (formerly Church of England).

The foundation stone of the first church to be built was laid in 1847 by His Excellency Governor Robe, on land known as Orleana Square (Church Hill) surveyed by [[Light Colonel William|Colonel Light]]. The Church was named after England’s patron saint (St George) and in honour of Colonel George Gawler. The Church cost £800 to be built. Five years after completion this building was severely damaged by a storm.

A [[St George's Day School|day school]] was built in 1850 where the tennis courts now stand. Thirty-five scholars attended under the guidance of [[Burton Leonard Samuel|M. L. S. Burton]]. The building now known as the Parish Hall was constructed as a school in 1866. Additional rooms to the front and back were added in 1911 to accommodate the increased number of students. As recently as 1984 this building again became a school under the guidance of [[Kinsman Rev. John|Rev. J. B. Kinsman]] and church members. Hence [[Trinity College]] was established. It is now situated south west of Gawler Township and with five schools and one Montessori school, is the largest school of its type in the Southern Hemisphere.

=== St George’s Church as it stands today ===
In 1858 the foundation stone was re-laid for the Nave of the new building on the site where it stands today. The architect was Edward Angus Hamilton and the design is early 14th century Gothic. Materials used included blue stone and sandstone from local quarries and Welsh slate for the roof. The building was erected in stages - the nave in 1864, the transept 1884, and the chancel in 1887. The Church was consecrated on 23rd April 1894 by Bishop Kennion. In 1907 the first stone for the erection of the tower was laid by Archdeacon Young. The dedication took place on 28th April 1909.

An octave of hemispherical bells was placed in the tower in 1921 to commemorate those killed in the First World War. In 1950 the eastern end of the Church roof was re-slated with Spanish slate at a cost of £25,000.
St George’s building has a National Trust “A” listing.

The church possesses a chime of eight hemispherical bells provided by this company in 1921. Our sales day book entry dated 23rd June 1921 advises that the work was invoiced to Sir Edward Lucas, Agent General for South Australia, Australia House, Strand, London WC2. It is clear that Sir Edward Lucas acted as a purchasing agent for the church. Our sales day book entry mentions the set of eight hemispherical bells with the largest 2’-7” in diameter, weighing approximately 3½ cwt. The chime was provided complete with supporting spindles, distance pieces, framework and a chiming apparatus for the freight on board London price of £315.0s.0d.

ST GEORGES RECTORY - 21 Cowan Street

Long time Gawler resident Pat Harbison says
"From the age of !0 years I lived in Adelaide with my Grandmother, Ina Davies (nee Deland), who was a daughter of Benjamin Deland, a builder in Gawler. The Delands lived in what is now the Anglican rectory in Gawler. She married her piano teacher E.H. Davies, who came from Oswestry in England, to take over the Gawler music students of his brother Charles Davies, who had died of TB (prevalent in those days). E.H. Davies later became Professor of music at the University of Adelaide (the Elder Conservatorium}. Some years ago, when helping the then Rector's wife (Joan Osborne) wash dishes in the Rectory kitchen, I noticed Benjamin Delands signature ("B.E. Deland") in the cement window sill over the kitchen sink. Don't know if it is still there. Hope so."

'''E. F. Troy'''

Two specialist stained glass studios developed during the 1890s. The most exclusively South Australian was that of E.F. Troy. Troy was a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, where he was born in 1858. Before migrating to Australia he was trained as a wood grainer and interior decorator. It was thus that he established his business in Gawler Place in Adelaide in 1884 and it was for graining that he won first prize at the Adelaide Exhibition in the same year. He was another of the many Scots who wielded great influence on the contemporary arts scene. This influence became particularly strong through the Adelaide School of Art.

Troy's business flourished, though the bulk of his early work seems to have been interior decoration. Amongst his important commissions were the interior decoration of the Archer Street Methodist Church and the Adelaide Town Hall and Council Chamber in 1897. The Lady Altar and its surroundings in St Francis Xavier's Cathedral in 1900 were also Troy's handiwork, along with the main altar and interior decoration of St Columba's Church at Yorketown and the main altar at St Agnes' Church at Marrabel.

However, it is probably for his stained glass windows that Troy is primarily remembered, for many of the door surrounds that grace Adelaide's Victorian villas were from his studio. And it was of this work that the Southern Cross of 1 June 1900 declared that it 'removes from South Australian establishments the stigma that it is necessary to send to other colonies for the more important work of that description'.

In the early years of his business Troy filled any orders for stained glass windows by ordering these from Victorian firms. In the mid-1890s, however, he decided to add stained glass window manufacturing to his business. In 1895 he exhibited stained glass and leadlight windows at the Chamber of Manufactures Exhibition: one of these is still to be found at Cabra Convent. It is not known at this time who Troy employed as his artist, but in 1897 he achieved something of a coup when he engaged H.M. Smyrk 'a decorative artist of high repute'. It is not certain whether or not this is the same Smyrk of the short-lived Victorian firm of Smyrk and Rogers. However, a comparison of their works which feature floral and fruit motifs suggests that this was so. Immediately thereafter Troy secured some important commissions. One of these was for 'two beautiful emblematic' windows for the original St Augustine's Church at Unley. Titled 'The Fruits of the Earth' the windows featured floral designs and were described as 'very artistic productions'. The one that gave him particular pleasure was that for the East window for St George's Anglican Church at Gawler. 'In securing this order', the Southern Cross trumpeted, 'Mr Troy successfully competed with the best English and colonial firms, a fact which speaks volumes for his enterprise and workmanship'. Four months later the Southern Cross was delighted with the result.

The workmanship is of the highest character, and reflects the greatest credit on the enterprise and skill of Mr Troy. The contract price of the window was £200. All the materials used were of colonial manufacture, and the scheme was designed by Mr Smyrk, a late employee of the firm.

It is noteworthy that two of the subjects which were featured in this window, 'The Good Shepherd' and 'The Light of the World', became stock designs and were frequently used by Troy.

Troy was an ardent Catholic — being a founder of the St Vincent de Paul Society, and until 1904 was its president. He was also the first president of the Catholic Club Literary Society, and a director of the Southern Cross and the South Australian Building Society. However, he was also a leader in the wider business community, particularly in those areas which touched upon his business. He was a member of the Chamber of Manufactures, and regularly judged craft works at exhibitions and shows. While his work is well represented in Catholic churches throughout the State it is also to be found in many Anglican churches, including St Luke's in Whitmore Square, City, St Margaret's at Woodville, St John's at Salisbury and St George's at Gawler. Another Smyrk designed window is also to be found in the Kent Town Uniting Church.

2.

Another feature of Troy's legacy is the number of secular windows for which he was responsible. The most significant were from his firm and included the four central lights of the Empire window in the Brookman Hall of the Institute of Technology that was completed in 1903 at a cost of £313.16.5. His firm was also responsible for the Edward VII window in the City of Adelaide Council chambers, and the emblematic windows in Government House that are noteworthy for the use of Australian birds. Other major commissions that do not survive were the extensive windows — 200 feet in length — which were installed in the Clarence (later known as the Majestic) Hotel in King William Street in 1900, and others at the Adelaide Railway Station in 1902. Of particular interest are the many Troy windows that are to be found in homes throughout Adelaide and beyond. Simple door surrounds that feature birds painted on medallions are very common in the villas of Adelaide. Troy also made more elaborate windows for the grander homes. These more elaborately painted scenes are to be found on stair landings and in doors. Invariably they feature European scenes painted on clear glass with enamel paint. The best examples are exquisite.

It appears that many of the small decorative medallions were imported and glazed into windows on demand. For major commissions, however, it seems that Troy called upon the services of particular artists in Adelaide. In 1897, as has been noted, he engaged H.M. Smyrk for two windows for St Ignatius Church at Norwood and the East window of St George's at Gawler. The Empire windows and presumably those at Government House, were the work of another artist, a Scotsman by the name of Elliott. His was not a large workshop. Nor was stained glass his only product. In 1898 he employed only two men and two boys. In 1906 he had but two men, thereby suggesting that the artist was called upon only when commissions required one. In the circumstances it is not surprising that a few basic designs were repeated in many different churches.

Troy died on 7 April 1910. For a time the business was carried on by his sons but it finally closed during the period of the Great War. One of his sons, William, enlisted in the A.I.F. and was killed overseas. The equipment, and it appears the designs, were purchased by the firm of Thompson and Harvey that had hitherto specialised in glass bevelling but thereafter became one of South Australia's important stained glass and leadlight workshops. Ron Washington, a long-time employee of Thompson and Harvey, started with this firm as a lad and remembered seeing the name of Troy on much of the stained glass equipment.

For nearly four years he worked as the driver of Mr Calton’s conveyance between Adelaide and Gawler, before starting his own, Gawler’s first daily conveyance, in 1846.<ref>South Australian Register (9 Sep 1846)</ref><ref>Hignett & Company (1981) Gawler Heritage Study Stage 1, Corporation of the Town of Gawler, Adelaide, South Australia.</ref> By 1848 he had met and married Emma Allen and was running a soda water factory in Gawler, which employed 3 to 4 men.<ref>Adelaide Observer (15 Jul 1848)</ref> It is suggested that this factory was near where the tram shed later stood.<ref>Bunyip (10 Jul 1896)</ref>

Following soda water manufacture, Crace worked for a short time as Gawler’s poundkeeper before opening the Ram’s Head Hotel at Evanston in 1855.<ref>South Australian Register (16 Mar 1854)</ref><ref>Adelaide Observer (17 Mar 1855)</ref> He planned to relinquish the hotel in 1859 and the license was briefly transferred to Thomas Wright, however he took the business back over until its closure and sale in 1860.<ref>South Australian Weekly Chronicle (19 Mar 1859)</ref><ref>South Australia Advertiser (21 Mar 1859)</ref><ref>Adelaide Observer (17 Sep 1859)</ref><ref>South Australian Advertiser (14 Dec 1860)</ref>

In 1864 Crace purchased Lot 182 King Street where he resided and opened his final enterprise, a wheat store and chaff cutting business.<ref name=":0">Danvers Architects (1998) Gawler Heritage Survey, Corporation of the Town of Gawler, Adelaide, South Australia.</ref> Portions of the wheat store were incorporated into a dwelling in the late 1800’s; this dwelling with its distinctive barrel-vaulted corrugated iron roof in the older, eastern portion is still a private residence at the address now known as 7 King Street.<ref name=":1">Bunyip (9 Aug 1940)</ref><ref name=":0" />

In addition to his business enterprises, Crace played a role in the social life of Gawler; he was one of the six members initiated at the founding meeting of the Loyal Gawler Lodge of Oddfellows in 1846 and acted as secretary for the Gawler Races in 1850.<ref>Coombe E H (1910) History of Gawler 1837-1908</ref><ref>Adelaide Times (18 Feb 1850)</ref><ref>South Australian Gazette & Mining Journal (23 Feb 1850)</ref>

By 1868 Crace’s wheat store and chaff cutting business, situated in one the ‘best positions in King Street’, were doing well and there was a constant supply of work, but ill health forced him to advertise them to let.<ref>Bunyip (25 April 1868)</ref><ref>Bunyip (30 May 1868)</ref> A few months later, on the 7th June 1868, he died of dropsy, aged just 48 years old. His wife Emma was left with 9 children, ranging from infancy to 19 years of age.

Emma faced further tragedy in 1870, losing her eldest son, Henry Diblee (13) and her youngest daughter Sophia Matilda (7), within weeks of each other to dysentery.

The family’s third daughter, Mary Ann, travelled to Victoria to marry Rev Edmund Dixon in 1877. Prior to taking orders Rev Dixon had lived in Gawler, where he worked first as a clerk at the National Bank and later as a timber merchant, he also played an active role in St George’s Church Sunday School.<ref name=":2">Bunyip (17 Jan 1879)</ref> Upon marriage the couple took up residence in New South Wales where Rev Dixon was incumbent. However the following year Rev Dixon died of an accidental overdose of bichloride of mercury, which he was in the habit of taking; on realising his error he sought medical assistance but nothing could be done.<ref>The Sydney Morning Herald (2 Jan 1879)</ref> The incident was widely reported and the Bunyip noted that it was not known why he was in the habit of taking this dangerous medicine.<ref name=":2" /> Widow Mary Ann Dixon returned to her family home in King Street, Gawler.

Fourth daughter, Katie, worked for a while as an assistant teacher at St George’s Day School before resigning due to ill health.<ref>Adelaide Observer (1 Dec 1877)</ref> She went on to marry John Tardif, eldest son of prominent Gawler builder, [[Tardif (Cr) William|William Tardif]].<ref>Adelaide Observer (28 Apr 1878)</ref> John, who was manager of the National Bank at Pt Augusta and later Auburn, died in 1882 following a period of ill health, leaving Katie a widow with an infant daughter.<ref>Gawler Standard (20 Apr 1878)</ref><ref>South Australian Weekly Chronicle (5 Aug 1882)</ref>

Matriarch, Emma, died in 1893, aged 71, she had been ill for some time before succumbing to acute bronchitis.<ref>Bunyip (11 Aug 1893)</ref><ref>[[Burial Register and Headstones from 1861 St Georges Anglican Cemetery Gawler]]</ref> The Bunyip (11 Aug 1893) noted she had many estimable qualities and was much respected; her funeral at St George’s had a large attendance.

Daughters Rosa Winfield Crace, Mary Ann Dixon and Ada Crace remained in the family home at 8 King Street for the rest of their lives. Ada worked as a teacher, running Miss Crace’s private school from at least 1902 to 1907.<ref>The Register (25 Jun 1902)</ref><ref>Bunyip (27 Sep 1907)</ref> Rosa conducted a very successful dressmaking business from their home, her great knowledge of needlework made her much in demand as a judge at district shows, work which she carried out until she was nearly 80 years old.<ref name=":1" /><ref>Recorder (12 Aug 1940)</ref> Ada died in 1909, aged 49, but sisters Mary Ann and Rosa lived until they were 86 and 89 years old, dying within months of each other in 1940.<ref>The Register (7 Sep 1909)</ref><ref>Chronicle (25 Apr 1940)</ref> All three sisters were heavily involved with St George’s Church and each is commemorated in a stained glass window; “Faith” for Ada and a pair of windows “Jesus Mercy” for Rosa and Mary Ann.<ref>Bunyip (12 Aug 1910)</ref><ref>Beatrice E McConnell (1996) “Looking Back 150 Years”

[[File:St Georges Church Gawler.jpg|left|thumb|400x400px]]
The first Church of England services in Gawler were conducted in 1839 in the little sitting room at the home of [[Reid John|Mr. John Reid]] at [[Clonlea Homestead|Clonlea]] (on the north bank of the North Para River in line with Murray Street). At this time there were no houses in Gawler. The first Colonial Chaplain [[Howard Rev C B|Rev. C. B. Howard]] occasionally rode his horse 25 miles from Adelaide’s Holy Trinity Church to minister where necessary. During 1845 the Rev. James Farrell, the Colonial Chaplain of Holy Trinity, Adelaide, chaired a meeting of the Members of Friends of the Church of England and £100 was raised for the building of a Church at Gawler.

In 1846, the [[Coombs Canon William Henry|Rev. William Henry Coombs]] (formerly curate of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields, London was sent out from England by “The Society of the Propagation of the Gospel”. Services were held in the basement of the [[Victoria Mill]], (then under construction). This was the beginning of Rev. Coomb’s 50 years of service to the Anglican Church, Gawler (formerly Church of England).

The foundation stone of the first church to be built was laid in 1847 by His Excellency Governor Robe, on land known as Orleana Square (Church Hill) surveyed by [[Light Colonel William|Colonel Light]]. The Church was named after England’s patron saint (St George) and in honour of Colonel George Gawler. The Church cost £800 to be built. Five years after completion this building was severely damaged by a storm.

A [[St George's Day School|day school]] was built in 1850 where the tennis courts now stand. Thirty-five scholars attended under the guidance of [[Burton Leonard Samuel|M. L. S. Burton]]. The building now known as the Parish Hall was constructed as a school in 1866. Additional rooms to the front and back were added in 1911 to accommodate the increased number of students. As recently as 1984 this building again became a school under the guidance of [[Kinsman Rev. John|Rev. J. B. Kinsman]] and church members. Hence [[Trinity College]] was established. It is now situated south west of Gawler Township and with five schools and one Montessori school, is the largest school of its type in the Southern Hemisphere.

=== St George’s Church as it stands today ===
In 1858 the foundation stone was re-laid for the Nave of the new building on the site where it stands today. The architect was Edward Angus Hamilton and the design is early 14th century Gothic. Materials used included blue stone and sandstone from local quarries and Welsh slate for the roof. The building was erected in stages - the nave in 1864, the transept 1884, and the chancel in 1887. The Church was consecrated on 23rd April 1894 by Bishop Kennion. In 1907 the first stone for the erection of the tower was laid by Archdeacon Young. The dedication took place on 28th April 1909.

An octave of hemispherical bells was placed in the tower in 1921 to commemorate those killed in the First World War. In 1950 the eastern end of the Church roof was re-slated with Spanish slate at a cost of £25,000.
St George’s building has a National Trust “A” listing.

The church possesses a chime of eight hemispherical bells provided by this company in 1921. Our sales day book entry dated 23rd June 1921 advises that the work was invoiced to Sir Edward Lucas, Agent General for South Australia, Australia House, Strand, London WC2. It is clear that Sir Edward Lucas acted as a purchasing agent for the church. Our sales day book entry mentions the set of eight hemispherical bells with the largest 2’-7” in diameter, weighing approximately 3½ cwt. The chime was provided complete with supporting spindles, distance pieces, framework and a chiming apparatus for the freight on board London price of £315.0s.0d.

ST GEORGES RECTORY - 21 Cowan Street

Long time Gawler resident Pat Harbison says
"From the age of !0 years I lived in Adelaide with my Grandmother, Ina Davies (nee Deland), who was a daughter of Benjamin Deland, a builder in Gawler. The Delands lived in what is now the Anglican rectory in Gawler. She married her piano teacher E.H. Davies, who came from Oswestry in England, to take over the Gawler music students of his brother Charles Davies, who had died of TB (prevalent in those days). E.H. Davies later became Professor of music at the University of Adelaide (the Elder Conservatorium}. Some years ago, when helping the then Rector's wife (Joan Osborne) wash dishes in the Rectory kitchen, I noticed Benjamin Delands signature ("B.E. Deland") in the cement window sill over the kitchen sink. Don't know if it is still there. Hope so."

Organ at St George's Anglican Church

Please [https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4EjkA7CXbhAZHYzZkZtSXhiS2s/edit?usp=sharing click here] to read about the organ situated in St George's Anglican Church.

Please [http://www.flickr.com/photos/gawler_history/sets/72157633467439353/ click here] to view an album relating to the St George's church pipe organs.

The following information refers to the original St George Church Pipe Organ. A replacement antique English organ was installed in 1986 - see the above link for more information about the replacement organ.

This information has been transcribed from The Adelaide Church Guardian of May 1974.

“''A note on the history of the organ (from notes supplied by Mr. L. McA. Bills)
The organ was originally in the gallery (1877).
It was a two manual and pedal organ using a barred chart for the pipes, and it had a tracker action. The console was built into the organ case.''

''The organ was removed from the gallery sometime after the chancel was completed in 1887. It was set upon a small platforming the South Transept. At this time, it was entrenched by J. E. Dodd of Adelaide who added the bass octave of the Dulciana and Clarabella stops to the Great organ.''

''Wind was provided by hand-lever but at some stage a wheel arrangement was in use, driving a crank connected to the blowing lever.
Later a single phase one horse-power electric motor driving a centrifugal blower was provided and this has recently been renovated and will be used for the re-built organ.''

''In 1962 the Vestry entrusted the oversight of the re-building of the old organ to Mr. L. McA. Bills.
It was decided to convert the instrument to electric pneumatic control. This system allowed the organ to be raised to an elevated platform where it would sound better. It also provided a clear space beneath for a Vestry. It also allowed a fuller and easier use to be made of the existing pipes and permitted the organist to play from a distance where he could better hear the effect of his playing.
It was also decided to bring the organ playing console into accordance with the recognised standards of the Royal College of Organists, this requiring two new keyboards of 61 notes and a new set of concave radiatery pedals, 32 notes.
It was recognised that the project would be limited by the lack of funds and that the builder would have to carry out the work over several years receiving payments as money became available.''

''Mr. Edgar G. Bowes agreed to undertake the re-building on these terms for $4000.00. He began in December, 1962.
Others who have assisted in the re-building programme include Mr. Bills who, among many other things, cleaned and repaired most of the old pipes.''

''Mr. W. Hockey directed the working bee which built the platform upon which most of the mechanism has been placed.''

''Mr. Brian Cornelius did most of the work on the fine cedar case to enclose the keyboards and mechanism of the playing console which stands on the north side of the transept near the choir stalls. The work on the case was completed by Messrs. Frank and Graham Forgie. The electric wiring runs under the floor and up to the pipe organ on the platform.''

''Mr. Frank Forgie was responsible for the new front panelling with accessible doors to the Vestry at each end. The old keyboard stopped short at the treble end and it was necessary to obtain five more pipes for each separate rank of pipes to complete the top octave on each manual. Mr. Roger Jones, a young Adelaide engraver, has made the missing pipes and also some larger wooden pipes to complete the pedal organ.”''

Charles Cartwright Crace, or C C Crace as he was often referred to, played numerous roles in Gawler’s early years. He arrived in the colony in 1840 as a 20 year old, aboard the ship ‘Waterloo’ from England. For nearly four years he worked as the driver of Mr Calton’s conveyance between Adelaide and Gawler, before starting his own, Gawler’s first daily conveyance, in 1846.<ref>South Australian Register (9 Sep 1846)</ref><ref>Hignett & Company (1981) Gawler Heritage Study Stage 1, Corporation of the Town of Gawler, Adelaide, South Australia.</ref> By 1848 he had met and married Emma Allen and was running a soda water factory in Gawler, which employed 3 to 4 men.<ref>Adelaide Observer (15 Jul 1848)</ref> It is suggested that this factory was near where the tram shed later stood.<ref>Bunyip (10 Jul 1896)</ref>

Following soda water manufacture, Crace worked for a short time as Gawler’s poundkeeper before opening the Ram’s Head Hotel at Evanston in 1855.<ref>South Australian Register (16 Mar 1854)</ref><ref>Adelaide Observer (17 Mar 1855)</ref> He planned to relinquish the hotel in 1859 and the license was briefly transferred to Thomas Wright, however he took the business back over until its closure and sale in 1860.<ref>South Australian Weekly Chronicle (19 Mar 1859)</ref><ref>South Australia Advertiser (21 Mar 1859)</ref><ref>Adelaide Observer (17 Sep 1859)</ref><ref>South Australian Advertiser (14 Dec 1860)</ref>

In 1864 Crace purchased Lot 182 King Street where he resided and opened his final enterprise, a wheat store and chaff cutting business.<ref name=":0">Danvers Architects (1998) Gawler Heritage Survey, Corporation of the Town of Gawler, Adelaide, South Australia.</ref> Portions of the wheat store were incorporated into a dwelling in the late 1800’s; this dwelling with its distinctive barrel-vaulted corrugated iron roof in the older, eastern portion is still a private residence at the address now known as 7 King Street.<ref name=":1">Bunyip (9 Aug 1940)</ref><ref name=":0" />

In addition to his business enterprises, Crace played a role in the social life of Gawler; he was one of the six members initiated at the founding meeting of the Loyal Gawler Lodge of Oddfellows in 1846 and acted as secretary for the Gawler Races in 1850.<ref>Coombe E H (1910) History of Gawler 1837-1908</ref><ref>Adelaide Times (18 Feb 1850)</ref><ref>South Australian Gazette & Mining Journal (23 Feb 1850)</ref>

By 1868 Crace’s wheat store and chaff cutting business, situated in one the ‘best positions in King Street’, were doing well and there was a constant supply of work, but ill health forced him to advertise them to let.<ref>Bunyip (25 April 1868)</ref><ref>Bunyip (30 May 1868)</ref> A few months later, on the 7th June 1868, he died of dropsy, aged just 48 years old.

Emma faced further tragedy in 1870, losing her eldest son, Henry Diblee (13) and her youngest daughter Sophia Matilda (7), within weeks of each other to dysentery.

The family’s third daughter, Mary Ann, travelled to Victoria to marry Rev Edmund Dixon in 1877. Prior to taking orders Rev Dixon had lived in Gawler, where he worked first as a clerk at the National Bank and later as a timber merchant, he also played an active role in St George’s Church Sunday School.<ref name=":2">Bunyip (17 Jan 1879)</ref> Upon marriage the couple took up residence in New South Wales where Rev Dixon was incumbent.

Matriarch, Emma, died in 1893, aged 71, she had been ill for some time before succumbing to acute bronchitis (Bunyip 11 Aug 1893, St George’s Burial Register). The Bunyip (11 Aug 1893) noted she had many estimable qualities and was much respected; her funeral at St George’s had a large attendance.

Daughters Rosa Winfield Crace, Mary Ann Dixon and Ada Crace remained in the family home at 8 King Street for the rest of their lives. Ada worked as a teacher, running Miss Crace’s private school from at least 1902 to 1907 (The Register 25 Jun 1902, Bunyip 27 Sep 1907). Rosa conducted a very successful dressmaking business from their home, her great knowledge of needlework made her much in demand as a judge at district shows, work which she carried out until she was nearly 80 years old. <ref name=":1" /> Recorder 12 Aug 1940). Ada died in 1909, aged 49, but sisters Mary Ann and Rosa lived until they were 86 and 89 years old, dying within months of each other in 1940 (The Register 7 Sep 1909, Chronicle 25 Apr 1940). All three sisters were heavily involved with St George’s Church and each is commemorated in a stained glass window; “Faith” for Ada and a pair of windows “Jesus Mercy” for Rosa and Mary Ann (Bunyip 12 Aug 1910, Beatrice E McConnell (1996) “Looking Back 150 Years”).

Charles Cartwright Crace, or C C Crace as he was often referred to, played numerous roles in Gawler’s early years. He arrived in the colony in 1840 as a 20 year old, aboard the ship ‘Waterloo’ from England. For nearly four years he worked as the driver of Mr Calton’s conveyance between Adelaide and Gawler, before starting his own, Gawler’s first daily conveyance, in 1846.<ref>South Australian Register (9 Sep 1846)</ref><ref>Hignett & Company (1981) Gawler Heritage Study Stage 1, Corporation of the Town of Gawler, Adelaide, South Australia.</ref> By 1848 he had met and married Emma Allen and was running a soda water factory in Gawler, which employed 3 to 4 men.<ref>Adelaide Observer (15 Jul 1848)</ref> It is suggested that this factory was near where the tram shed later stood.<ref>Bunyip (10 Jul 1896)</ref>

In 1864 Crace purchased Lot 182 King Street where he resided and opened his final enterprise, a wheat store and chaff cutting business.<ref name=":0">Danvers Architects (1998) Gawler Heritage Survey, Corporation of the Town of Gawler, Adelaide, South Australia.</ref> Portions of the wheat store were incorporated into a dwelling in the late 1800’s; this dwelling with its distinctive barrel-vaulted corrugated iron roof in the older, eastern portion is still a private residence at the address now known as 7 King Street.<ref name=":1">Bunyip (9 Aug 1940)</ref><ref name=":0" />

In addition to his business enterprises, Crace played a role in the social life of Gawler; he was one of the six members initiated at the founding meeting of the Loyal Gawler Lodge of Oddfellows in 1846 and acted as secretary for the Gawler Races in 1850.<ref>Coombe E H (1910) History of Gawler 1837-1908</ref><ref>Adelaide Times (18 Feb 1850)</ref><ref>South Australian Gazette & Mining Journal (23 Feb 1850)</ref>

By 1868 Crace’s wheat store and chaff cutting business, situated in one the ‘best positions in King Street’, were doing well and there was a constant supply of work, but ill health forced him to advertise them to let.<ref>Bunyip (25 April 1868)</ref><ref>Bunyip (30 May 1868)</ref> A few months later, on the 7th June 1868, he died of dropsy, aged just 48 years old. His wife Emma was left with 9 children, ranging from infancy to 19 years of age.

Emma faced further tragedy in 1870, losing her eldest son, Henry Diblee (13) and her youngest daughter Sophia Matilda (7), within weeks of each other to dysentery.

The family’s third daughter, Mary Ann, travelled to Victoria to marry Rev Edmund Dixon in 1877. Prior to taking orders Rev Dixon had lived in Gawler, where he worked first as a clerk at the National Bank and later as a timber merchant, he also played an active role in St George’s Church Sunday School.<ref name=":2">Bunyip (17 Jan 1879)</ref> Upon marriage the couple took up residence in New South Wales where Rev Dixon was incumbent.

Fourth daughter, Katie, worked for a while as an assistant teacher at St George’s Day School before resigning due to ill health (Adelaide Observer 1 Dec 1877). She went on to marry John Tardiff, eldest son of prominent Gawler builder, William Tardif (Adelaide Observer 28 Apr 1878). John, who was manager of the National Bank at Pt Augusta and later Auburn, died in 1882 following a period of ill health, leaving Katie a widow with an infant daughter (Gawler Standard 20 Apr 1878, South Australian Weekly Chronicle 5 Aug 1882).

Matriarch, Emma, died in 1893, aged 71, she had been ill for some time before succumbing to acute bronchitis (Bunyip 11 Aug 1893, St George’s Burial Register). The Bunyip (11 Aug 1893) noted she had many estimable qualities and was much respected; her funeral at St George’s had a large attendance.

Daughters Rosa Winfield Crace, Mary Ann Dixon and Ada Crace remained in the family home at 8 King Street for the rest of their lives. Ada worked as a teacher, running Miss Crace’s private school from at least 1902 to 1907 (The Register 25 Jun 1902, Bunyip 27 Sep 1907). Rosa conducted a very successful dressmaking business from their home, her great knowledge of needlework made her much in demand as a judge at district shows, work which she carried out until she was nearly 80 years old. <ref name=":1" /> Recorder 12 Aug 1940).

Charles Cartwright Crace, or C C Crace as he was often referred to, played numerous roles in Gawler’s early years. He arrived in the colony in 1840 as a 20 year old, aboard the ship ‘Waterloo’ from England. For nearly four years he worked as the driver of Mr Calton’s conveyance between Adelaide and Gawler, before starting his own, Gawler’s first daily conveyance, in 1846.<ref>South Australian Register (9 Sep 1846)</ref><ref>Hignett & Company (1981) Gawler Heritage Study Stage 1, Corporation of the Town of Gawler, Adelaide, South Australia.</ref> By 1848 he had met and married Emma Allen and was running a soda water factory in Gawler, which employed 3 to 4 men.<ref>Adelaide Observer (15 Jul 1848)</ref> It is suggested that this factory was near where the tram shed later stood.<ref>Bunyip (10 Jul 1896)</ref>

Following soda water manufacture, Crace worked for a short time as Gawler’s poundkeeper before opening the [[Ram’s Head Hotel]] at Evanston in 1855.<ref>South Australian Register (16 Mar 1854)</ref><ref>Adelaide Observer (17 Mar 1855)</ref> He planned to relinquish the hotel in 1859 and the license was briefly transferred to Thomas Wright, however he took the business back over until its closure and sale in 1860.<ref>South Australian Weekly Chronicle (19 Mar 1859)</ref><ref>South Australia Advertiser (21 Mar 1859)</ref><ref>Adelaide Observer (17 Sep 1859)</ref><ref>South Australian Advertiser (14 Dec 1860)</ref>

In 1864 Crace purchased Lot 182 King Street where he resided and opened his final enterprise, a wheat store and chaff cutting business (Gawler Heritage Survey 1998). Portions of the wheat store were incorporated into a dwelling in the late 1800’s; this dwelling with its distinctive barrel-vaulted corrugated iron roof in the older, eastern portion is still a private residence at the address now known as 7 King Street (Bunyip 9 Aug 1940, Gawler Heritage Survey 1998).

In addition to his business enterprises, Crace played a role in the social life of Gawler; he was one of the six members initiated at the founding meeting of the Loyal Gawler Lodge of Oddfellows in 1846 and acted as secretary for the Gawler Races in 1850 (Coombe 1910; Adelaide Times 18 Feb 1850, South Australian Gazette & Mining Journal 23 Feb 1850).

By 1868 Crace’s wheat store and chaff cutting business, situated in one the ‘best positions in King Street’, were doing well and there was a constant supply of work, but ill health forced him to advertise them to let (Bunyip 25 April & 30 May 1868). A few months later, on the 7th June 1868, he died of dropsy, aged just 48 years old. His wife Emma was left with 9 children, ranging from infancy to 19 years of age.

Emma faced further tragedy in 1870, losing her eldest son, Henry Diblee (13) and her youngest daughter Sophia Matilda (7), within weeks of each other to dysentery.

The family’s third daughter, Mary Ann, travelled to Victoria to marry Rev Edmund Dixon in 1877. Prior to taking orders Rev Dixon had lived in Gawler, where he worked first as a clerk at the National Bank and later as a timber merchant, he also played an active role in St George’s Church Sunday School (Bunyip 17 Jan 1879). Upon marriage the couple took up residence in New South Wales where Rev Dixon was incumbent. However the following year Rev Dixon died of an accidental overdose of bichloride of mercury, which he was in the habit of taking; on realising his error he sought medical assistance but nothing could be done (The Sydney Morning Herald 2 Jan 1879). The incident was widely reported and the Bunyip noted that it was not known why he was in the habit of taking this dangerous medicine (Bunyip 17 Jan 1879). Widow Mary Ann Dixon returned to her family home in King Street, Gawler.

Fourth daughter, Katie, worked for a while as an assistant teacher at St George’s Day School before resigning due to ill health (Adelaide Observer 1 Dec 1877). She went on to marry John Tardiff, eldest son of prominent Gawler builder, William Tardif (Adelaide Observer 28 Apr 1878). John, who was manager of the National Bank at Pt Augusta and later Auburn, died in 1882 following a period of ill health, leaving Katie a widow with an infant daughter (Gawler Standard 20 Apr 1878, South Australian Weekly Chronicle 5 Aug 1882).

Matriarch, Emma, died in 1893, aged 71, she had been ill for some time before succumbing to acute bronchitis (Bunyip 11 Aug 1893, St George’s Burial Register). The Bunyip (11 Aug 1893) noted she had many estimable qualities and was much respected; her funeral at St George’s had a large attendance.

Daughters Rosa Winfield Crace, Mary Ann Dixon and Ada Crace remained in the family home at 8 King Street for the rest of their lives. Ada worked as a teacher, running Miss Crace’s private school from at least 1902 to 1907 (The Register 25 Jun 1902, Bunyip 27 Sep 1907). Rosa conducted a very successful dressmaking business from their home, her great knowledge of needlework made her much in demand as a judge at district shows, work which she carried out until she was nearly 80 years old (Bunyip 9 Aug 1940; Recorder 12 Aug 1940). Ada died in 1909, aged 49, but sisters Mary Ann and Rosa lived until they were 86 and 89 years old, dying within months of each other in 1940 (The Register 7 Sep 1909, Chronicle 25 Apr 1940). All three sisters were heavily involved with St George’s Church and each is commemorated in a stained glass window; “Faith” for Ada and a pair of windows “Jesus Mercy” for Rosa and Mary Ann (Bunyip 12 Aug 1910, Beatrice E McConnell (1996) “Looking Back 150 Years”).

The Engine and Driver is the original name of the hotel now known as the [[Criterion Tavern 18 Nineteenth Street|Criterion Tavern]], which is located at 18 Nineteenth Street, Gawler South (formerly Murray Street, [[Bassett Town]]), opposite the [[Gawler Railway Station Nineteenth Street|Gawler Railway Station]]. The hotel operated as the Engine and Driver from when it was first licensed in 1858 until 1863, when on the 14th September the proprietor Mr Catchlove applied to the Bench of Magistrates quarterly meeting to ''“alter the name of his house at Bassett Town from the Engine and Driver to the Criterion Hotel”'' (South Australian Register 15 Sep 1863).

Around the time of the name change the hotel underwent extensive building work. The Gawler Correspondent to The Adelaide Express reported:

''“Great revolutions and alterations are taking place amongst our hostelries.'' ''The Engine and Driver Hotel at the Railway Station has become the “Criterion” and has been improved and beautified so as to form one of the most picturesque buildings of the kind in the colony.'' ''Mr Catchlove leaves us much regretted, and Mr Bassett succeeds him.''”'' ''(The Adelaide Express 9 Mar 1864).''

It is sometimes suggested that the Engine and Driver Hotel was located at 15 [[Twenty First Street]], Gawler South. However, the hotel at this address is likely to have been the [[Ram's Head Hotel]].

For information and photographs of the hotel in later years see [[Criterion Tavern 18 Nineteenth Street|Criterion Tavern]].

Ram's Head Hotel

}}On 2nd March 1855 the Munno Para West District Council granted Mr Crace a new publican’s license to establish the “Ram’s Head” at Evanston (Adelaide Observer 17 Mar 1855). [[Crace Charles Cartwright & Family|Charles Cartwright Crace]] carried out business for four years, before transferring the license to Thomas Wright in March 1859 and advertising for sale by auction his livestock (20 horses, 30 pigs & a cow) and household goods as he was relinquishing his business (South Australian Weekly Chronicle 19 Mar 1859, The South Australia Advertiser 21 Mar 1859). However, three months later Wright applied to the council for Crace to continue business in his place and in September 1859 the license was transferred back to Crace (South Australia Register 4 Jul 1859, South Australian Weekly Chronicle 17 Sept 1859, Adelaide Observer 17 Sep 1859). Crace continued to run the Ram’s Head for another year, before it was permanently closed in December 1860. The land, buildings and all the equipment, including the bar counter and fittings, 4-pull beer-engine, spirit casks, furniture, horses and wagons were advertised for sale (The South Australian Advertiser 11 Dec 1860, The South Australian Advertiser 14 Dec 1860). The property was described as a “substantial well-built house”, “having 13 rooms with 2 large dry cellars, and about 11 acres of good land fenced, with garden and well of excellent water” (South Australian Advertiser 11 & 15 Dec 1860). In his 1896 reminiscences about Gawler’s early days, the oldest resident at the time, Mr James Baldcock, Sen., recalled that the Ram’s Head was built for a local resident by a stonemason named Fleming who lived on the Gawler Plains (Bunyip 10 Jul 1896).

In its early years the Ram’s Head was an important site within the developing region. It was the place the Munno Para West District Council Clerk attended to collect rates from local property owners; the place where prospective councillors held meetings to promote themselves to local electors and even where local residents could advertise their lost horses be returned to for a reward (31 May 1856 Adelaide Observer, 28 Jun 1856 Adelaide Observer, South Australian Register 27 Feb 1857).

The Ram’s Head was also a site for recreation. On 2nd April 1858 the South Australian Register contained the following advertisement:

''RAM'S HEAD, EVANSTON— A PIGEON MATCH will take place at the Ram's Head, Evanston, on Thursday, the 8th of April next, when C.'' ''CRACE hopes to meet some of his friends, Plenty of birds.''
N.B.— ''Those coming mind to bring GOOD GUNS, QUICK EYES, and STRONG NERVES, as they will meet good men.''

A subsequent pigeon match at the Ram’s Head did not go well. While the local sportsmen tried their skill, an elderly gentlemen in his anxiety “let fly rather too low” and hit his son rather than the pigeon, fortunately [[Nott, Dr. George|Dr Nott]] was in the neighbourhood and was able to extract some of the shot from the man’s arm, the rest being too deep in the muscle to be safely removed (South Australian Register 5 May 1859).

It is widely suggested that 15 [[Twentyfirst Street]], Gawler South, is the site of a former hotel. This is likely to have been the Ram’s Head. In a 1989 article in the Bunyip, the resident of 15 Twentyfirst Street, Mr Jack Green, suggested that the front section of the building was demolished in the 1960s, but a large cellar and some old stone walls provided clues to the properties former use (see article - Bunyip 15 Feb 1989). The other hotel often suggested to have been at this site is the [[Engine and Driver Hotel|Engine and Driver]], however newspaper articles from the time report that in 1863 Mr Catchlove changed the name of his hotel at [[Bassett Town]] from the “Engine and Driver” to the “[[Criterion Tavern 18 Nineteenth Street|Criterion Hotel]]” (South Australian Register 15 Sep 1863, The Adelaide Express 9 Mar 1864).
It is also suggested that the former stables and barn of the Ram's Head Hotel were situated at 17 Twentyfirst street , now the site of a 1920's bungalow , which was home to the McCarthy family during the 1980's and 1990's.
In the early 1990's the Wright family lived in 15A Twentyfirst street

=== Gawler’s Hotels - from The Bunyip, 11th February 1927 ===
''“A most interesting publication has been unearthed from the shelves within the “Bunyip” Office, being a general and commercial directory published by W Barnet, Murray Street, in 1860, three years before the birth of ' The Bunyip.' ...''

''There was certainly an overplus of pubs, or rather inn was the accepted word in other days, although some houses rose to the dignity of an hotel.''

''Within the corporation the oldest was the Old Spot Inn, controlled by Edward Martin. Others were the Globe (George Causby), Prince Albert Hotel (John McEwen), Gawler Arms (Ed.Clements), Old Bushman (J. H. Howe), later Hon. J. H. Howe), and Grapes Inn (Ernest Kopke). Evidently the Commercial and Exchange houses came later in the sixties.''

''These should have been sufficient for the small population then existing, but the outside and sparsely populated areas had even more public attention than the town residents. The cause was the slow locomotion, bullocks being the principal traction, and the fact that Burra copper was carted through to Port Adelaide.''

''Over in Gawler South area were the Mill Inn (H. W. Buckerfield), Ram's Head (C. C. Crace, Evanston), Railway Hotel (Ed. Martin), Engine and Driver Hotel (J. Schmidt, Bassett Town), Smithfield Hotel (J. Bennett), Penfield (Josiah Chesterman), with Salisbury a nest of drinking houses. Other hotels in the district in 1860 were the Willaston Hotel, Gawler Belt Inn, Shea-oak Log Inn, Half Moon, Seven Stars, and the Bush Inn, and the Wheatsheaf on the road to Lyndoch Valley. Even after this date the hotels multiplied, and as quickly went down again."''<ref>"Old Gawler" (The Bunyip 11 Feb 1927) https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/96673235</ref>

It was also fascinating to trace the titles of the hotels their extant in the neighbourhood, tracing such signs as Globe Inn, Murray street; Gawler Arms; Old Bushman; Old Spot Inn; Ernst Kopek/ Grapes Inn, Murray street; H. W. Buckerfield, Mill Inn, Gawler Bridge ; C. C. Crace, ' Ram's Head, Evanston ; Thomas Henry, Wheatsheaf Inn, Lyndoch Valley road ;Railway Hotel, Gawler west; Schmidt, Engine and Driver hotel, Bassett Town; Willaston hotel; Smithfield was described purely as publican ; with another at Penfield titled innkeeper; it was also noticed that Smithfield had a ‘second house’ kept by one John Smith.

Peachey Belt had its inn, as did Salisbury have several. Lyndoch's hotel was then styled 'Lord Lyndoch' hotel; with another Barossa Inn, and there was another on the Sandy Creek Road, Gawler, known as the Bush Inn, kept by a George Ward ; with inns also at Williamstown and Templers. Doubtless there were many others, or some sprung up after that date, to again sink into oblivion. One may be recalled, the inn at Gawler Belt.”

By the late 1860’s Gawler had 14 hotels with a population of only 1,000 people! Gawler was a highly industrialised town with labour intense factories, foundries and mills. It was also a hub for the rural communities of the mid-north of South Australia. But it was the trade from the hard drinking bullockies travelling between Port Adelaide and Burra that also had a big influence on the establishment of so many hotels. As early as 1846 it was reported that some 400 bullock drays were employed on the “Great North Road” to the Burra mine.

Charles Cartwright Crace, or C C Crace as he was often referred to, played numerous roles in Gawler’s early years. He arrived in the colony in 1840 as a 20 year old, aboard the ship ‘Waterloo’ from England. For nearly four years he worked as the driver of Mr Calton’s conveyance between Adelaide and Gawler, before starting his own, Gawler’s first daily conveyance, in 1846.<ref>South Australian Register (9 Sep 1846)</ref><ref>Hignett & Company (1981) Gawler Heritage Study Stage 1, Corporation of the Town of Gawler, Adelaide, South Australia.</ref> By 1848 he had met and married Emma Allen and was running a soda water factory in Gawler, which employed 3 to 4 men.<ref>Adelaide Observer (15 Jul 1848)</ref> It is suggested that this factory was near where the tram shed later stood.<ref>Bunyip (10 Jul 1896)</ref>

Following soda water manufacture, Crace worked for a short time as Gawler’s poundkeeper before opening the Ram’s Head Hotel at Evanston in 1855.<ref>South Australian Register (16 Mar 1854)</ref><ref>Adelaide Observer (17 Mar 1855)</ref> He planned to relinquish the hotel in 1859 and the license was briefly transferred to Thomas Wright, however he took the business back over until its closure and sale in 1860.<ref>South Australian Weekly Chronicle (19 Mar 1859)</ref><ref>South Australia Advertiser (21 Mar 1859)</ref><ref>Adelaide Observer (17 Sep 1859)</ref><ref>South Australian Advertiser (14 Dec 1860)</ref>

In 1864 Crace purchased Lot 182 King Street where he resided and opened his final enterprise, a wheat store and chaff cutting business (Gawler Heritage Survey 1998). Portions of the wheat store were incorporated into a dwelling in the late 1800’s; this dwelling with its distinctive barrel-vaulted corrugated iron roof in the older, eastern portion is still a private residence at the address now known as 7 King Street (Bunyip 9 Aug 1940, Gawler Heritage Survey 1998).

In addition to his business enterprises, Crace played a role in the social life of Gawler; he was one of the six members initiated at the founding meeting of the Loyal Gawler Lodge of Oddfellows in 1846 and acted as secretary for the Gawler Races in 1850 (Coombe 1910; Adelaide Times 18 Feb 1850, South Australian Gazette & Mining Journal 23 Feb 1850).

By 1868 Crace’s wheat store and chaff cutting business, situated in one the ‘best positions in King Street’, were doing well and there was a constant supply of work, but ill health forced him to advertise them to let (Bunyip 25 April & 30 May 1868). A few months later, on the 7th June 1868, he died of dropsy, aged just 48 years old. His wife Emma was left with 9 children, ranging from infancy to 19 years of age.

Emma faced further tragedy in 1870, losing her eldest son, Henry Diblee (13) and her youngest daughter Sophia Matilda (7), within weeks of each other to dysentery.

The family’s third daughter, Mary Ann, travelled to Victoria to marry Rev Edmund Dixon in 1877. Prior to taking orders Rev Dixon had lived in Gawler, where he worked first as a clerk at the National Bank and later as a timber merchant, he also played an active role in St George’s Church Sunday School (Bunyip 17 Jan 1879). Upon marriage the couple took up residence in New South Wales where Rev Dixon was incumbent. However the following year Rev Dixon died of an accidental overdose of bichloride of mercury, which he was in the habit of taking; on realising his error he sought medical assistance but nothing could be done (The Sydney Morning Herald 2 Jan 1879). The incident was widely reported and the Bunyip noted that it was not known why he was in the habit of taking this dangerous medicine (Bunyip 17 Jan 1879). Widow Mary Ann Dixon returned to her family home in King Street, Gawler.

Fourth daughter, Katie, worked for a while as an assistant teacher at St George’s Day School before resigning due to ill health (Adelaide Observer 1 Dec 1877). She went on to marry John Tardiff, eldest son of prominent Gawler builder, William Tardif (Adelaide Observer 28 Apr 1878). John, who was manager of the National Bank at Pt Augusta and later Auburn, died in 1882 following a period of ill health, leaving Katie a widow with an infant daughter (Gawler Standard 20 Apr 1878, South Australian Weekly Chronicle 5 Aug 1882).

Matriarch, Emma, died in 1893, aged 71, she had been ill for some time before succumbing to acute bronchitis (Bunyip 11 Aug 1893, St George’s Burial Register). The Bunyip (11 Aug 1893) noted she had many estimable qualities and was much respected; her funeral at St George’s had a large attendance.

Daughters Rosa Winfield Crace, Mary Ann Dixon and Ada Crace remained in the family home at 8 King Street for the rest of their lives. Ada worked as a teacher, running Miss Crace’s private school from at least 1902 to 1907 (The Register 25 Jun 1902, Bunyip 27 Sep 1907). Rosa conducted a very successful dressmaking business from their home, her great knowledge of needlework made her much in demand as a judge at district shows, work which she carried out until she was nearly 80 years old (Bunyip 9 Aug 1940; Recorder 12 Aug 1940). Ada died in 1909, aged 49, but sisters Mary Ann and Rosa lived until they were 86 and 89 years old, dying within months of each other in 1940 (The Register 7 Sep 1909, Chronicle 25 Apr 1940). All three sisters were heavily involved with St George’s Church and each is commemorated in a stained glass window; “Faith” for Ada and a pair of windows “Jesus Mercy” for Rosa and Mary Ann (Bunyip 12 Aug 1910, Beatrice E McConnell (1996) “Looking Back 150 Years”).
