A DISUSED CEMETERY.

About one mile to the south of Minlaton there is an old cemetery which has not been used for about 40 years. We learn that there are About eight graves in it but it was abandoned owing to the rocky nature of the land, in which it was quite impossible to do any sinking without blasting. The late Mr. Charles Parrington and Mr. Russ, and several children were interred at this spot. The Minlaton District Council have had several applications for the lease of the ground and a communication was sent to the Local Government Association enquiring if the Council had the right to lease the ground. The reply, stated that the Council had no power to lease the cemetery. Before it could be leased the land grant must be cancelled and then dealt with as Crown lands and surveyed. The Council received the letter and did not deal further with the matter.

Mr. Hyde, who was in his 65th year, arrived in the Ariadne in 1839, with his parents, brother, and two sisters, and his brother and one sister atttended his funeral.

After their arrival the family stayed in Adelaide for about two years, the father, who was a millwright, obtaining work for that period, when they settled at Noarlunga, where they remained for seven year, after which they removed to the Burra. Upon the death of Mr. Hyde, sen., his son, Mr. Robert Hyde, took up land at Hamilton. Leaving there he took the Prince of Wales Hotel at Moonta, but some time after went farming at Kilkerran, whicn he left for Adelaide. He was employed for about seven years in the railway work shops at Islington. Having a severe attack of influenza (from the effects of which he never recovered), he was compelled to resign his position at Islington. He again took an hotel at the Bay, but afterwards purchased the hotel at Stansbury. He suffered almost continuously whilst there, the climate being too bleak for him. Mr. Hyde was well known as a vet, his services being eagerly sought in cases of diseases of horses and cattle. In his younger days Mr. Hyde was an enthusiastic cricketer and played in many matches, and to the last hours of his life watched with great interest the doings of the Australian Eleven in England. He leaves a widow, two sons, and three daughters, besides several grandchildren. He was highly respected.

CHESTER, Elizabeth 29/07/1919

CONCERNING PEOPLE.

Our Minlaton correspondent writes:— On Wednesday of last week Mrs. Elizabeth Chester, of this town, relict of the late Rev. Henry Chester, died at the ripe age of 93. The deceased lady was born at Austwick, Yorkshire, England, on April 21, 1826. She was the eldest of 10 children, and survived them all, although, in early life she was very delicate, and at one time her life was despaired of. Sixty years ago she came to Australia, and was married to the Rev. Henry Chester by the Rev. Daniel Draper in Wesley Church, St. Kilda, Victoria. Subsequently, with her husband, she came to South Australia, and resided at Mount Gambier, Burra, and several other centres, including Minlaton. She entered heartily into the activities of her husband's profession, and had a wide circle of influence wherever she went. Her patriotic spirit was stirred by the war, and at 89 she joined the great army of women workers, and knitted no fewer than 300 comforts for soldiers in three years. She was widely known and respected throughout this district. Two children survive her — Miss M. Chester, of Minlaton, and Mr. H. W. Chester, manager of the Bank of Adelaide, Port Pirie. Another daughter was the late wife of Mr. H. W. Water-house, of the firm of Gibbs, Bright, & Co., Adelaide. There are seven surviving grandchildren.


CHESTER, Rev Henry 10/10/1908

OBITUARIES OF THE WEEK. The Rev. Henry Chester.

Observer (Adelaide, SA : 1905 - 1931), Saturday 24 October 1908, page 40

The Rev. Henry Chester died at Miniaton on October 17. His charming personality, his kindly sympathies, his devoted service in the cause of religion, his lovable disposition, and his cheerful, tolerant spirit had won the goodwill and esteem of all classes. On Sunday in the various churches in the town the preachers spoke of his death as a personal grief and an irreparable loss to the community. The deceased was born at Skipton, in the West Riding, Yorkshire, in 1831, and began preaching at the age of 19. He went to Victoria by the Champion of the Seas in 1854. He was nominated for the Wesleyan ministry by the late Rev. J. Eggleston, and was accepted by the second Australasian Conference in 1850. He laboured in the Kyneton, Brighton, and Maldon Circuits, and was transferred to South Australia in 1860, in exchange for the late Rev. J. Harcourt. Mr. Chester's first circuit in this State was Mount Barker. In 1862 he took charge of the Burra district. With characteristic zeal and alertness he opened up missions to the far northern stations, and was probably the first clergyman to visit those remote and at that time almost inaccessible localities. His visits extended as far north as Melrose and Port Augusta, and in those early days such journeys involved no small amount of personal hardship. The periodical round generally occupied a month, and took in the pastoral settlements, which then occupied the sites where Terowie, Jamestown, Mannanarie, and Wirrabara now stand. The services were conducted cither in the kitchens or the shearing sheds. Whatever indifference was at first felt by the rough occupants of .those outback stations scon melted in the genial rays of a warm and sympathetic nature, and Mr. Chester's ministrations became very popular. From Kooringa he went to Mount Gambier, thence returned to Victoria. His subsequent pastorales in South Australia included Clarendon, Aldgate, Bordertown, Minlaton, Gumeracha, Salisbury, and Angaston. At Minlaton he was particularly beloved. It was there that he met with a serious accident, which no doubt brought on the illness from which he eventually died. At the conference in February, 1900, he was taken with a slight paralytic seizure, but recovered so far as to resume bis pastoral duties at Angaston, His health gradually failed, and he preached his last sermon at the harvest thanksgiving on March 15 of this year, and resigned from the ministry in April. Mr. Chester went to Minlaton to spend the evening of his life near his son, who is manager of the Bank of Adelaide there. The day before his death he went to visit and cheer a blind old lady who lived near.

CHESTER, Margaret Agnes 09/05/1940

Until the time of their death Miss Chester lived with her parents, sharing with them the many homes they occupied in the course of their preaching itinerancy. In many ways she was actively employed assisting her father in his church work.

Chester, now deceased, was manager of The Bank of Adelaide at Minlaton from 1905 to1915. Her sister was the late Mrs. H. W. Waterhouse.

Miss Chester had the wonderful gift of cultivating deep and lasting friendships. Although moving from place to place every few years in accordance with the Methodist itinerant system, she developed the habit of keeping in touch with her ever-widening circle of friends, and she was beloved of all who came into contact with her.

Her life was spent in untiring service and loving loyalty to the Methodist Church. Appeals for varied charities never found her indifferent to their claims. She was also intensely interested in the Mission to Lepers, the W.C.T.U-, and Country Women's Association. For a long time she was Secretary to the Minlaton Band of Hope, and and an untiring servant to the cause of temperance reform generally.

She loved the Minlaton Methodist Church, and this was exemplified with two beautiful memorial windows erected in honour of her late parents. After an illness of some months she was laid to rest in the Minlaton Cemetery on May 10th, 1940. The mass of floral offerings at that ser vice was a tribute from her many friends of a long life spent in service for others. Tired out from her many years of service and wearied by the weight of years, she quietly laid down and went to sleep.

THE LATE MARGARET AGNES CHESTER

Rev. F. Albury writes:— Margaret Agnes Chester was born in the Methodist parsonage at Mount Barker on 9th April, 1862, and was the daughter of the late Rev. and Mrs. Henry Chester, who are well known and remembered to a large circle of friends. Miss Chester lived her whole life with her parents until the time of their death, travelling with them to the many places to which they were appointed under our itinerant system. Always keenly active in church life, she was of much assistance to her father in his various charges. She will be remembered by numbers who were her pupils in painting classes organised by her in each of the circuits in which she lived. Being a pupil of the late James Ashton, she was well grounded and trained in the art, and loved to express her thoughts of the beautiful by means of canvas and brush; in her home were many pictures, the work of her own hands, as well as some by her master's. She willingly gave of her time and talents to many Show comnittees by acting as judge and critic of the art section. Particularly was this so in Yorke's Peninsula, where her work of this nature is perhaps best known. When the Rev. Henry Chester retired from the active ministry in 1908, to take up residence in Minlaton, Miss Chester also came with her parents. Her father only enjoyed the quiet of retirement for about five months, and his wife joined him in the higher sphere of life in 1919. The late Miss Chester continued to reside in the family home at Minlaton until her death on 9th May, 1940. During her long life Miss Chester gained and maintained a very large circle of friends, methodically keeping in touch with them all. The loving gentleness of her character made her the friend of all, the enemy of none. During my ministry here, I have heard a great deal of good regarding her life, but not one breath of evil. She was one of God's good women. Always she did what she could for the betterment of her fellowmen and the glory of God. She was a mine of information regarding Methodism, and at varying times held many of the offices in the Church that are open to women. Never happier than when serving in some way, even if to the detriment of her own physical powers. Home and Overseas Missions found in her a keen supporter, as did also the various Central Missions. For years she has been a successful collector for the Mission to Lepers, and was also president of the local branch of the W.C.T.U., and a member of the C. W.A., but her life interest and loyalty was the Methodist Church. She was a most regular attendant at every service and means of grace. Her wide associations and close touch with the Church spread over many years made her a valuable member of the quarterly meeting. She was a keen Bible student, her favourite passages being the 91st Psalm and John xiv and xv. She had a wonderful faith in the Heavenly Father; what we call death had no terrors for her. Her thoughts of the future life could be summed up from Browning's "The Gathering Place," which was among her carefully collected extracts:

"Life changes all our thoughts of Heaven : At first we think of streets of gold, Of gates of pearl and dazzling white, And things all strange to mortal sight, But, in the afterward of years, It is a more familiar place: A home unhurt by sighs or tears, Where waiteth many a well-known face. With passing months it comes more near, It grows more real day by day; Not strange or cold, but very dear, The glad homeland, not far away, Where none are sick, or poor, or lone, The place where we shall find our own." The Minlaton Methodist Church is enriched and beautified by two stained glass windows, erected by this lady to the memory of her late parents; these are reproductions of the "Light of the World" and the "Good Shepherd," designed in their colouring by Miss Chester. Her presence is sadly missed in local circles of Christian life and activities. Her last months-were a real triumph of the soul. With physical powers weakening, her spirit and faith seemed to grow stronger. She longed for rest, and the Father heard her cry and called her to His eternal rest. Tired out with her many activities on behalf of her Lord and Saviour, wearied with the burden of years, she heard the Father's call to "Come Home." So, with gradual weakening of the fiesh, she lay down with little pain and calmly went to sleep. "Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o'ershadowed, Sweetly her soul doth rest." We, of the Minlaton Church, sympathise with those who are thus "bereaved; but we glory in her great triumphant victory. "He giveth to His beloved rest."

COOK, Thomas 17/05/1951 91 y

On Sunday, September 4th. Mf. Thomas Cook, of Minlaton, attained his 90th birthday. At the age of 17 he came, with his parents, brothers and one sister, from Rapid Bay, as did many of the early settlers. They travelled in two bullock drays, and settled at Spicer's Flat, where Mr. Cook still lives. For years all their farming was done with three teams of bullocks — eight to each team. Mr. Cook has never gone in for power-farming, and his land is still worked with two twelve - horse teams Mr Cook remembers the first Minlaton Show, held in 1878 on the land where the Police Station now stands, and he has attended every Show since, with the exception of last year. He hopes to be present again this year. Well known for his dry humor, Mr. Cook still takes a keen interest in men and events, and reads the newspaper every day.

Mr. Thomas Cook of Minlaton has just celebrated his ninety first birthday by driving his first tractor round his paddocks for two hours inspecting the farm and stock. He had a combine attached to the tractor—the first he has ever owned—and was very thrilled with its performance. A few friends gathered at his residence to celebrate his birthday. when Mr. Cook lit the 25 candles which surmounted the beautiful birthday cake made and iced by Mrs. A. R. Bristow. senior.

Friday 16 March. Mr. Thomas Cook, Snr., who is Minlaton's oldest male resident, and in his 92nd year, has had the misfortune to break his leg recently. He was going Into his bedroom, holding on to the door for support when the door swung away from him, causing him to fall and fracture his hip. He is in the Minlaton Hospital; his condition is reported as satisfactory. On his 91st birthday, last September, Mr.Cookdrove his first tractor on a two-hour inspection of the farm.
COOK.— On May 17, at Minlaton Hospital, Thomas, in his 92nd year. At rest.

MINLATON. Death of Mr. James Cook.

Mr. James Cook, a well-known resident of Minlaton, died at his residence on Saturday morning last after a long illness, patiently borne. The funeral took place on Sunday, and was largely attended. The Rev. C. W. E. Swan conducted the service at the graveside. The late Mr. Cook was 60 years of age, and was born at Delamere, Rapid Bay. He came to the Peninsula in 1877, when about 14 years of age, and carried on farming with his parents until he launched out on his own account. In 1897 he married the third daughter of the late Andrew Knox Fraser, of Port Victoria. He leaves a sorrowing widow, two sons, and a daughter, also an adopted daughter, to mourn their loss. The late Mr. Cook's parents predeceased him, but his four brothers, Thomas, David, George, and Henry, and two sisters, Mrs. J. J. Butler and Mrs. Fred. Edwards, are still residing in the Minlaton district. There are also two sisters living across the Gulf—Mrs. E. Mumford, of Gladstone, and Mrs. Whitelaw, of Willaston, near Gawler.

A YORKE'S PENINSULA FARM.

Situated about three miles north of Minlaton, on the Maitland road, is the farm of Mr. James Cook. It is one of the best homesteads on the Peninsula. There is a splendid front garden. and the well-kept hedges, a vineyard, and a vegetable garden indicate an available water supply over and above the natural rainfall. Tanks with a storage capacity of about 100,000 gallons make irrigation possible on a small scale. At the time of my visit the wheat and oat crops showed signs of unfavourable weather and do not promise a particularly heavy yield. Very, heavy returns were obtained last year, one patch of five acres yielding 4 tons of oats to the acre. The grain this year is well headed but the stalks are very low, and barely one third will be returned in hay. The sheep were in fair condition and the clip will probably exceed the average. Mr. Cook is using a shearing machine for the first time this year with satisfactory results. It cuts much closer and with less injury to the animal. It is worked by a 70 h.p. oil engine. The motive power is sufficient for 15 machines of this type and next year probably at least six will be worked. About 40 head of cattle add to the revenue of the farm. Holsteins were at first in favour, but the Jersey has now taken first place. Good horses, mostly Clydesdales and Yorkshire pigs are also to be seen. Mr. Cook runs a poultry: farm of about 500 fowls, mostly Leghorns and Orpingtens; also about 68 ducks and 50 geese. The outbuildings on this farm are an object lesson to farmers, whilst the general appearance of the place suggests that the farm is conducted on up-to-date methods. '

Pioneer (Yorketown, SA : 1898 - 1954), Friday 14 May 1954, page 6

OBITUARY Mr John James Cook, who died recently at MinIaton at the age of 65, was a grandson of John Cook, the pioneer farmer who in 1876, came with his son from Rapid Bay, travelling through the virgin bush with their household goods on a bullock dray, and driving stock before them. Mr. Cook himself remembered well the days when MinIaton was no more than a cluster of houses whose only conenction with the city was the coach, drawn by four horses which linked with the railhead at Moonta three times a week. Widely known as J. J. he had through his active life won the respect of all his name being to his neighbours synonymous with fair dealing, sound farming and cheerful generosity. He was an active and loyal churchman being for many years connected with St. Raphael's at Mt. Rat. His eldest son, Mr. Stan Cook is at present people's warden of this church. Mr. Cook has been in ill-health for many years, and although his normal state was one of inexhaustible cheerfulness and in spiritual contentment he had been sufferig from severe mental depression for some months. The farming community of the district at least, will be the poorer for his passing. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. William David Cook, his widow, one daughter, four sons, and seven grandchildren.

OBITUARY Louie Trehearne

The late Mrs. Louie Trehearne, who l passed away at Minlaton on 23rd January, was born at Merthyr Tydfil in Wales.

Mrs. Trehearne use to speak of crossing the Bristol Channel when she was a child. Coal dust from the mines was a menace to health, so the little girl was sent across to stay at Bristol with her grandmother. So that she would not be burdened with luggage Mrs. Trehearne's mother usually put six dresses on her small daughter, put her on the Channel boat at Cardiff, to journey alone to Bristol, where she was met by her grandmother. After a holiday in the fresh Bristol air, grannie would put her on the Channel boat for the return trip, again with most of her wardrobe on her back. Later, at the age of ten, the longer journey to Australia was undertaken with her family, her wardrobe carefully bestowed in the hold of the good ship "Ocean Chief". In 1872 she married Mr. W. R. Trehearne at Wentworth, in New South Wales. In 1883 they came to Minlaton. After three years they left Minlaton and went to Mt. Gambier, but in 1980 they returned to Minlaton, where Mr. Trehearne commenced business as general storekeeper and conducted same until his demise. The business, probably the oldest established in Minlaton is still being conducted by his descendants.

Mrs. Trehearne continued to reside in Minlaton and although a home body, most of her interests were centred there, she had a very large circle of friends, and was deservedly popular with young and old.

THE LATE MRS. E. WILLIAMS.

A Moitfeith correspondent writes:- An old identity of the Callington district, and one of its pioneers, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, died on October 6, at the ripe old age of 94 years, at the residence of her son, Mr. Joseph Williams, of Minlaton. Born at Bisley Common, Gloucestershire, in 1825, Elizabeth Davies, as she then was, anteceded the steam-driven factory loom, and she well remembered the terrible riots and burning down of the mills by the striking hand-loom weavers, who feared modern methods would ruin them. Her father was a weaver, and owing to the troublous times he was forced to remove to Leeds, in Yorkshire, with his family, and here she married the late Mr. Williams, with whom, several years later, in 1851, she sailed for South Austrialia, together with their young family, in the ship Hydaspes. They settled in a part of the bush which ultimately became known as Cheltenham, and endured much hardship for several years. The Adelaide plains were at that time peopled by a small colony of white women and children, and large tribes of blacks, of whom the poor women were in constant dread. Mr. Williams and one other white man were all that could be found for miles around, for, having become crazy with the gold fever, almost the whole male population had stampeded off to Victoria. Mr. J Williams ultimately selected land near the Bremer, about three miles from Callington, and in May, 1856, the family journeyed thither per bullock dray, taking several days in the pouring rain, and having to chop trees from the track as they went. In a rude hut they lived for a time, and in the hot weather the children, with a cask and rough sledge, would drag the house water from the Bremer for two miles over an unmade road, driving their two old trusty bullocks as best they could. Mrs. Williams regularly walked to Callington (three miles), carrying her butter and eggs to sell to the miners, and as there were no bridges she had in flood time to cross the creeks oq a fallen tree. But plucky battles bring their rewards, and in ten years "Hill Farm" was paid for,eand soon the family began to find themselves in comfortable circumstances. Then came a terrible misfortune. Mr. Williams, in blasting out an underground tank, was blown up, and fatally injured. With the assistance of a manager the widow ran the farm until the boys were old enough to leave school. About 1879 Mrs. Williams sold the farm, and retired into Adelaide, where she lived until about 16 years ago, when she took up her residence with her son in Minlaton. Although the old lady has been visibly failing for several months past, up to that time she retained all her faculties unimpaired, even reading without glasses, and to the last was very fond of motoring for long distances on the splendid roads for which the Peninsula is famous. A great war worker, her keen fingers were ever at work, creating wonders in wool or other mediums. A bright conversationalist, with an unusually winning manner, and a cheery word for all, she endeared herself to everyone, and far and wide, to old and young, alike she was familiarly known as "Gran"everybody's "Gran"! All her life she has been a staunch member of the Anglican Church. Her five surviving children are: Messrs. J. W. Williams (Mount Barker), C. Williams (Nuriootpa), J. Williams (Minlaton), and Mesdamcs J. Ferries (Monteith) and ' A. H. Hanton (Mitcliam). There are 28 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren, the senior of whom is Miss Muriel Sanders, of Taptou, Woodchester.
