F. W. Kleinschmidt, J.P.
FEW of the early pioneers of South Australia have had a more varied experience than the subject of this notice. He was born near Bremen, in 1810, and left his native land in 1836, under engagement to the South Australian Company at Kangaroo Island. The hardships and privations endured by the early settlers are said to bear no comparison to those which had to be endured by first arrivals at Kangaroo Island. Water was scarce and food scant, the chief means of subsistence being kangaroo and the few edible roots to be obtained. Shortly after the South Australian Company left the island and transferred their operations to the mainland, Mr. Kleinschmidt quitted its service, and entered into business on his ​own account. He was by trade a sugar-boiler, but having learned the art of building, he contracted for and built the first Government offices erected in the colony. He did fairly well at his business, and acquired land in Rundle-street. This he sold, and started farming at Hahndorf, remaining there till 1843, when he removed to Lobethal. Imbued with strong religious feelings, he conceived the idea of erecting a church in connection with the Lutheran Mission, and with his own hands built one at Lobethal, known as the "Weinberg Christi." In 1851 he, with others, started a brewery, which was conducted till 1872, when he sold the connection to Messrs. J. A. & G. Johnston, of Oakbank. In 1873 he started the Lobethal Tweed Factory, and lost no inconsiderable amount. In 1869 he commenced hop-growing, and when the tweed factory failed, threw his whole energy into the hop plantation, and was very fortunate; he not only paid off all liabilities in connection with the tweed factory, but also placed himself once more in a substantial and flourishing position. He was chairman of, and for several years a councillor in, the Onkaparinga District Council. He died at Lobethal, December 10, 1884.

​ ​trapper, and the third was an Englishman. The country was in a disturbed state, and the travellers were taken prisoners by the Mexicans on the charge of treason. They were incarcerated and chained to the wall of their prison and were only taken out to learn the result of their trial, which had been by lot and without their knowledge. They were drawn into the square of the fort; one American and the Englishman were shot, and Mr. Linklater and the trapper were set free. This was as fair a trial as could be expected from a Mexican. Returning to London Mr. Linklater gave up attorneydom for the more ambitious profession of the Bar and entered at Lincoln's Inn. Partially suspending his studies during the Franco-Prussian war, he followed the campaign with the second Daily News pass and was present at Worth, Metz, and the siege of Paris, and at the opening of the gates of the city was one of the first batch of Englishmen who passed in. Here he rescued his sister, Mrs. Girdlestone, and found her jewels in a manure heap, where she had hidden them. Mr. Linklater pursued his legal studies under Mr. Rowland Vaughan Williams (whom he aided in the drafting of the famous Judicature Bill), Mr. Marcus Martin, the conveyancer, and Mr. Kekewich, and was called to the Bar in 1873, During his studentship and afterwards, while practising in the Court of Chancery, he was appointed dramatic and operatic critic to the Pall Mall Gazette, a position which he occupied for two years and a-half, contributing also to Routledge's Magazine and other periodicals. Mr. Linklater left for New South Wales in 1876; joined the Bar there, and had a considerable practice, wrote a treatise on the Law of Divorce, and was Government reporter in the Supreme Court. But, in spite of these engagements, which would have exhausted the energies of a less zealous litterateur, he found time to serve the newspapers as dramatic critic and to furnish contributions based on his experience as a traveller and a soldier. Leaving Kew South Wales in 1880, he came ​to South Australia, where he practises his profession in spite of the dramatic taste which has resulted in some theatrical successes, and which has earned him the confidence of the editor of the leading London theatrical journal, whose correspondent he is. His contributions to dramatic literature in Adelaide include "Pinbehind," which was produced at the Academy, "My Uncle's Wife," in which Bland Holt acted at the Royal; an adaptation of the "Field of the Cloth of Gold" played at the same theatre; the "Debutante," and a Pantomime which came out at the Academy. This last was a great feat, for the order was given on one Friday, and the rehearsal took place on the next. On the following Friday the Pantomime was exhibited, and alas! on the fourth Friday the Academy was in ashes, and the Pantomime extinguished. And now we have brought down to date a very active, diversified and romantic career, which before its close may attain to the brilliancy which it has narrowly missed.
# Notable South Australians/F. W. Andrews

Layout 2
F. W. Andrews,
TAXIDERMIST, was about sixty years of age at the time of his death, which occurred on the 19th October, 1884, near Mount Jagged, Willunga. He is supposed to have lost his life by falling into a waterhole whilst suffering from the effects of sunstroke. He was engaged as a collector for over thirty years in this colony, having been "inducted" to that office by Mr. Waterhouse, late Curator of the Adelaide Museum. For a considerable time he was stationed at Port Lincoln, and afterwards accompanied the late Mr. Lewis on his expedition to Lake Eyre, where he made discoveries of two species of birds new to science, besides gathering a large and valuable collection of the fauna of that locality. When Mr. S. White projected his unfortunate expedition to Cape York and New Guinea, he secured Mr. Andrews' services, and he obtained an immense collection of rare and valuable specimens of natural history, which, upon Mr. White's decease, were placed in charge of the Curator of the South Australian Museum. Although at first Mr. Andrews had but slight knowledge of natural history, he, during the thirty years of ​active collection, acquired an almost profound acquaintance with the fauna of Australia, and especially of that of the back country to the westward and north and north-eastward of Adelaide. He was an acute observer, and knew the habits of nearly all of our native birds and other animals. He was also very quick as a taxidermist, and collections of specimens of natural history of South Australia made by him may be found in museums all over the world. Prior to arrival in the colony, he was one of the band of the Coldstream Guards when that regiment was at Dublin, Ireland, and was an excellent performer on the ophecleide. It is satisfactory to know that the majority of the specimens collected by Mr. Andrews were secured for the S.A. Museum, where they can be inspected by those curious in such matters.
# Notable South Australians/Frances Keith Sheridan

Frances Keith Sheridan,
WIDOW of the above, was a daughter of the Rev, Daniel Keith, D.D. Her motto was:—"To work is to pray." Having established a school at Mackinnon-parade, she continued her labours there, and for a period of seven-and-twenty years encountered many difficulties and hardships—common, it is true, to most early colonists, but more particularly trying to one of her tastes and attainments, whose experience had been of refined literary circles in England—by an invincible spirit, energy, and brightness of disposition which neither years nor suffering could wholly subdue. Her contributions to the press were chiefly on political subjects, and these, with school duties, her devotion to her children, and a variety of literary pursuits, completely filled every interval of an unceasingly active life. To her pupils, while seeking to encourage talent, she strove to communicate an elevated tone of thought and feeling. Her reward (small indeed pecuniarily, self-seeking being one of those elements most foreign to her noble nature) was rather in the esteem and affection of those with whom she was brought in contact. ​Having seen her children occupying honourable positions in the colony (her son, Mr. J. B. Sheridan the eminent jurist* consult, and the late lamented Mr. Reginald Sheridan), she died in January 1882. Of her it may be said—
"'Tis not to die, To live in hearts we leave behind."

Francis Symonds, J.P.,
DIED at the Chain of Ponds, March 13, 1885, aged 90. Came to the colony in 1848. Was a member and chairman of the Para Wira Council for many years, and most strenuous in his endeavours to advance the interests of the district in which he resided.
# Notable South Australians/Frederick Charles Bayer, M.D.

Layout 2
Frederick Charles Bayer, M.D.,
BORN at Munich, Bavaria, and studied at the University of Erlangen. He subsequently visited several of the German Universities, with a view to perfect himself in the various branches of the profession to which he devoted his life. The circumstances which led to his leaving his native land show in a marked degree excellent traits of character, and the nice sense of honour which actuated him. Having attended a duel in Bavaria as a medical man, and refusing to give up to the authorities the names of the principals, he was denied any official employment in his native country, and resolved to emigrate to South Australia. He arrived here in the "Heloise," March 17, 1847, as surgeon superintendent of the vessel, and shortly after settled in Adelaide. Though he laboured under the disadvantage of being a foreigner, and had but a scanty knowledge of the English language, he speedily took a good position as an accomplished and skilful medical practitioner. His fame spread rapidly, and his practice increased to an inconvenient extent. In 1859 he re-visited his native land, and spent some time in the continental hospitals, where his active mind was ever on the alert to make his own whatever was new and valuable in his profession. On his return from Europe his popularity and practice increased, and his energies were stretched to their utmost point of tension. He may be truly said to have died in harness, as within a short period of his decease by apoplexy he was giving advice to patients. The sad event occurred on August 15, 1867, in his 52nd year of age. Dr. Bayer married ​a daughter of the late Dr. Kent, and left behind a large family. He was a man of large heart and wide benevolence. Eor any cause of charity his generous aid might be confidently reckoned upon, whilst his professional skill was ever at the service of the poorest and humblest.

Frederick Simeon Carus Driffield,
SIXTH son of the late Rev. C. G. T. Driffield, Vicar of Prescot, Lancashire; born 1825, came out to South Australia in the "Posthumous" in 1849, in partnership with his brother and James H. Parr, with whom, soon after their arrival, he built a flour mill near Woodside; went to the Victorian diggings in 1851, returning in 1853; became Secretary of the Agricultural and Horticultural Society in 1856, which he held for nearly ten years, during which time he started, and brought to a very successful issue, the West Adelaide Building Society; was the manager of the Adelaide Lloyd's, afterwards the Adelaide Insurance Company for eight or ten years, giving it up in 1872, when he became the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Married a daughter of the late Joseph McMinn, by whom he has one daughter and six sons.
# Notable South Australians/G. M. Waterhouse

Layout 2
G. M. Waterhouse,
BORN at Penzance, Cornwall, April 6, 1824. Son of the sf Rev. John Waterhouse, of that town. Educated at the Wesley an College, Kingswood, near Bristol. His father and family left England for Hobart and arrived there February 2, 1839, where the subject of this notice was employed in a merchant’s office. This gentleman having business relationships with Adelaide, Mr. Waterhouse was led to turn his attention to South Australia, and early in 1843 came here ​and commenced business on his own account. He was a successful merchant, ultimately retired, and turned his attention to politics. He represented East Torrens in the first Parliament (July, 1851), and held office in several successive Ministries. He voted against the first reading of the Bill to legalize State Aid to Religion, in August, 1851, and was instrumental in bringing about many excellent measures. He was a member of the Central Road Board in 1852, but resigned towards the close of the same year. He left for New Zealand in 1864, where he is now located. He is connected with the Legislative Council of that colony, and was recently Acting-Governor of the province.

§28. This exceptional fact must be tested by experience. Let those who doubt it become Christians.
Is this, then, a slight proof of the weakness of death? or is it a slight demonstration of the victory won over him by the Saviour, when the youths and young maidens that are in Christ despise this life and practise to die? 2. For man is by nature afraid of death and of the dissolution of the body; but there is this most startling fact, that he who has put on the faith of the Cross despises even what is naturally fearful, and for Christ’s sake is not afraid of death. 3. And just as, whereas fire has the natural property of burning, if some one said there was a substance which did not fear its burning, but on the contrary proved it weak—as the asbestos among the Indians is said to do—then one who did not believe the story, if he wished to put it to the test, is at any rate, after putting on the fireproof material and touching the fire, thereupon assured of the weakness attributed to the fire: 4. or if any one wished to see the tyrant bound, at any rate by going into the country and domain of his conqueror he may see the man, a terror to others, reduced to weakness; so if a man is incredulous even still after so many proofs and after so many who have become martyrs in Christ, and after the scorn shewn for death every day by those who are illustrious in Christ, still, if his mind be even yet doubtful as to whether death has been brought to nought and had an end, he does well to wonder at so great a thing, only let him not prove obstinate in incredulity, nor case-hardened in the face of what is so plain. 5. But just as he who has got the asbestos knows that fire has no burning power over it, and as he who would see the tyrant bound goes over to the empire of his conqueror, so too let him who is incredulous about the victory over death receive the faith of Christ, and pass over to His teaching, and he shall see the weakness of death, and the triumph over it. For many who were formerly incredulous and scoffers have afterwards believed and so despised death as even to become martyrs for Christ Himself.

§31. If Power is the sign of life, what do we learn from the impotence of idols, for good or evil, and the constraining power of Christ and of the Sign of the Cross? Death and the demons are by this proved to have lost their sovereignty. Coincidence of the above argument from facts with that from the Personality of Christ.
But they who disbelieve in the Resurrection afford a strong proof against themselves, if instead of all the spirits and the gods worshipped by them casting out Christ, Who, they say, is dead, Christ on the contrary proves them all to be dead. 2. For if it be true that one dead can exert no power, while the Saviour does daily so many works, drawing men to religion, persuading to virtue, teaching of immortality, leading on to a desire for heavenly things, revealing the knowledge of the Father, inspiring strength to meet death, shewing Himself to each one, and displacing the godlessness of idolatry, and the gods and spirits of the unbelievers can do none of these things, but rather shew themselves dead at the presence of Christ, their pomp being reduced to impotence and vanity; whereas by the sign of the Cross all magic is stopped, and all witchcraft brought to nought, and all the idols are being deserted and left, and every unruly pleasure is checked, and every one is looking up from earth to heaven: Whom is one to pronounce dead? Christ, that is doing so many works? But to work is not proper to one dead. Or him that exerts no power at all, but lies as it were without life? which is essentially proper to the idols and spirits, dead as they are. 3. For the Son of God is “living and active,” and works day by day, and brings about the salvation of all. But death is daily proved to have lost all his power, and idols and spirits are proved to be dead rather than Christ, so that henceforth no man can any longer doubt of the Resurrection of His body. 4. But he who is incredulous of the Resurrection of the Lord’s body would seem to be ignorant of the power of the Word and Wisdom of God. For if He took a body to Himself at all, and—in reasonable consistency, as our argument shewed— appropriated it as His own, what was the Lord to do with it? or what should be the end of the body when the Word had once descended upon it? For it could not but die, inasmuch as it was mortal, and to be offered unto death on behalf of all: for which purpose it was that the Saviour fashioned it for Himself. But it was impossible for it to remain dead, because it had been made the temple of life. Whence, while it died as mortal, it came to life again by reason of the Life in it; and of its Resurrection the works are a sign.

§27. The change wrought by the Cross in the relation of Death to Man.
For that death is destroyed, and that the Cross is become the victory over it, and that it has no more power but is verily dead, this is no small proof, or rather an evident warrant, that it is despised by all Christ’s disciples, and that they all take the aggressive against it and no longer fear it; but by the sign of the Cross and by faith in Christ tread it down as dead. 2. For of old, before the divine sojourn of the Saviour took place, even to the saints death was terrible, and all wept for the dead as though they perished. But now that the Saviour has raised His body, death is no longer terrible; for all who believe in Christ tread him under as nought, and choose rather to die than to deny their faith in Christ. For they verily know that when they die they are not destroyed, but actually [begin to] live, and become incorruptible through the Resurrection. 3. And that devil that once maliciously exulted in death, now that its pains were loosed, remained the only one truly dead. And a proof of this is, that before men believe Christ, they see in death an object of terror, and play the coward before him. But when they are gone over to Christ’s faith and teaching, their contempt for death is so great that they even eagerly rush upon it, and become witnesses for the Resurrection the Saviour has accomplished against it. For while still tender in years they make haste to die, and not men only, but women also, exercise themselves by bodily discipline against it. So weak has he become, that even women who were formerly deceived by him, now mock at him as dead and paralyzed. 4. For as when a tyrant has been defeated by a real king, and bound hand and foot, then all that pass by laugh him to scorn, buffeting and reviling him, no longer fearing his fury and barbarity, because of the king who has conquered him; so also, death having been conquered and exposed by the Saviour on the Cross, and bound hand and foot, all they who are in Christ, as they pass by, trample on him, and witnessing to Christ scoff at death, jesting at him, and saying what has been written against him of old: “O death, where is thy victory? O grave, where is thy sting.”

§29. Here then are wonderful effects, and a sufficient cause, the Cross, to account for them, as sunrise accounts for daylight.
Now if by the sign of the Cross, and by faith in Christ, death is trampled down, it must be evident before the tribunal of truth that it is none other than Christ Himself that has displayed trophies and triumphs over death, and made him lose all his strength. 2. And if, while previously death was strong, and for that reason terrible, now after the sojourn of the Saviour and the death and Resurrection of His body it is despised, it must be evident that death has been brought to nought and conquered by the very Christ that ascended the Cross. 3. For as, if after night-time the sun rises, and the whole region of earth is illumined by him, it is at any rate not open to doubt that it is the sun who has revealed his light everywhere, that has also driven away the dark and given light to all things; so, now that death has come into contempt, and been trodden under foot, from the time when the Saviour’s saving manifestation in the flesh and His death on the Cross took place, it must be quite plain that it is the very Saviour that also appeared in the body, Who has brought death to nought, and Who displays the signs of victory over him day by day in His own disciples. 4. For when one sees men, weak by nature, leaping forward to death, and not fearing its corruption nor frightened of the descent into Hades, but with eager soul challenging it; and not flinching from torture, but on the contrary, for Christ’s sake electing to rush upon death in preference to life upon earth, or even if one be an eye-witness of men and females and young children rushing and leaping upon death for the sake of Christ’s religion; who is so silly, or who is so incredulous, or who so maimed in his mind, as not to see and infer that Christ, to Whom the people witness, Himself supplies and gives to each the victory over death, depriving him of all his power in each one of them that hold His faith and bear the sign of the Cross. 5. For he that sees the serpent trodden under foot, especially knowing his former fierceness no longer doubts that he is dead and has quite lost his strength, unless he is perverted in mind and has not even his bodily senses sound. For who that sees a lion, either, made sport of by children, fails to see that he is either dead or has lost all his power? 6. Just as, then, it is possible to see with the eyes the truth of all this, so, now that death is made sport of and despised by believers in Christ let none any longer doubt, nor any prove incredulous, of death having been brought to nought by Christ, and the corruption of death destroyed and stayed.
