In the early fire fighting days he had charge of the pumping station at Lake Wendouree, from where carts used to procure water for fire fighting purposes.
  Later on he entered business for himself at the corner of Dana and Windermere Street, Peel Street south, Grant Street and Bridge Street. He retired some eight years ago. He joined the Oddfellows Lodge in 1863 and was an active member for thirty years, and he was a constant worshipper at St Paul’s. Canon Davies made feeling reference to his death yesterday. The deceased leaves a widow, five sons and four daughters. There will be a funeral service at St Paul’s tomorrow at 3 o’clock, and the internment will take place at the New Cemetery.
