Obituary

A Pioneer South Australian. — Mr. Daniel Cox died at Koolunga (S.A.) on December 28, at the age of 71 years, after only a few days' illness. Mr. Cox. came to Australia in the first emigrant ship, the Africaine, commanded by Captain J. F. Duff, and landed on Kangaroo Island on Novem ber 2, 1836. At an early date he returned to the old country, when after a short stay he once more came to Australia. He was for some time in the service of the late Mr. J. Hallett, and worked under him in the old Worthing Mine. About the year 1847 he started farm ing in Morphett Vale, and remained there until 1876, when he removed with his family to Koolunga, where he followed farming up to the time of his death. The deceased could give interesting accounts of the "early days." At one time he was minding sheep on the plains north of Adelaide when he and a mate were attacked by the blacks. He defended himself by keeping the sheep between him and the blacks. But his mate was killed by them, for which one of the blacks was hanged. This was one of the first men hanged in Adelaide. One of his earliest business transactions in the colony was the purchase for £5 of a town acre; he afterward selling it for £10. Mr. Cox was a thrifty colonist, and was much against flying to the Government for every little requirement, as also against the surrendering of land to the Government, and buying it back at a much re duced price. Although living among farmers who surrendered their land, it is noteworthy of him that by dint of hard work and careful management he cleared his selection of 550 acres, at £3 5s per acre in less than 12 years ; and his land was private purchase. He left a wife, five sons, and four daughters.
