OBITUARY

Mr. C.A. Amderson, Of Kingscote

Mr. Charles Alfred Anderson, 55, of Kingscote, Kangaroo Island, who died on Saturday after a brief illness, was well known throughout the State as the proprietor of the Queenscliff Hotel. He was the fourth son of the, late John Bernard Anderson, formerly of Avendal. Norway. His father, having obtained the first licence issued for a public house on the island, opened the present Queenscliff Hotel, which was the pioneer building of any note to be constructed there. At that time there was no jetty or wharf, the only means of getting ashore being on the backs of sailors. He owned and traded with the ketch Hawthorn between Port Adelaide and Kingscote. and in 1890 founded the first eucalyptus oil factory on Kangaroo Island. The product of this factory rapidly became well known, and samples were forwarded to all parts of the world by Mr. Anderson. He assumed control or the hotel in 1907, and during his management it came to be recognised as one of the most popular resorts of Adelaide business men and sportsmen. He has left a widow and four children—Mrs. A. Wainwright, of Melbourne; Miss Edna Anderson, and Messrs. C. B. and J. Anderson.
