Obituary
South Australian Register Saturday 20 June 1868 page 6
Death of Mr. John Hallett.— From the gradually diminishing list of surviving early settlers of South Australia the name of Mr. John Hallett has now to be erased. He first came to the colony in the Africaine. Captain Duff towards the end of the year 1836. Mr. John Hallett is mentioned as being the purchaser of a town acre at the first land sale held on the 27th March, 1837, and again as a contributor towards the erection of the first Wesleyan Chapel and to the Church of England funds. In the list of Grand Jurors published in January, 1838, his name appeared, and on March 25th of the same year he was appointed as one of six gentlemen elected by the colonists for the purpose of considering matters and recommending measures relative to the aborigines, his colleagues being the Revs. C. B. Howard. A.M. and T. Q. Stow, Messrs. J. B. Hack, E. Stephens. and J. Morphett.
On October 15, 1838, he joined in the address of congratulation and welcome to Governor Gawler on his arrival, and a few days later he was mentioned as among those whose liberal assistance had called forth sincere gratitude from the Catholics of South Australia.
It is, however, impossible to allude to every incident connected with his lengthened career in the colony. At an early date he entered into business as a merchant in connection with the late Captain Duff. On the close of this connection he engaged in pastoral pursuits, in which he continued to have an interest until the last.
At the time of his death he held the Murninnie Station on the Eastern Plains, 60 or 70 miles north of the Burra, and the Wandilta Station, not far from the Burra. At the same time he was concerned in mining, having been a share-holder of the Adelaide Land and Gold Company, and in various other associations, including the Worthing and the Murninnie. It is deserving of mention that at a time in the history of the colony when architecture was greatly neglected, he built a good substantial brick house on South-terrace, which afterwards was in the occupation of Captain Berkeley, but has now been demolished, like many other relics of primitive times. On March 9, 1857. Mr. Hallett was elected in conjunction with Mr. T. Reynolds, as a representative of the District of Sturt in the first House of Assembly under the new Constitution Act. On the 23rd of March, I860, he was re elected for the Sturt, in connection with Mr. Joseph Peacock, defeating Mr. K. B. Andrews by three votes. On the 21st October, 1862 Parliament was prorogued, and the next day dissolved by proclamation. Mr. Hallett once more offered himself as a candidate, but was defeated, the voting being in favour of Mr. K. B. Andrews and Mr. Joseph Peacock. In August of the following year he was one of five candidates for three vacancies in the Legislative Council, but at the conclusion of he scrutiny he was found to occupy the fourth place. Since then he has lived in comparative seclusion, and his name, which before had often figured in connection with public matter, was not again brought prominently before the public.
Eight years ago be took up his residence at Ilfracombe, near Beaumont. In July, 1868 he was taken ill, his complaint assuming apoplectic symptom. Although not actually confined to his bed he never enjoyed good health afterwards. The whole control of his business he transferred to his brother Alfred, and only once since the date above-mentioned has he been to Adelaide, namely, in September, 1866. Of late he has been suffering from softening of the brain, and he has had three attacks of serous apoplexy. About a fortnight ago bronchitis set in, which greatly reduced his strength. About noon on Wednesday last, June 10, Dr. Benson saw him, but observed nothing unusual in his state. At 9 o'clock he retired to rest, but shortly afterwards, evidently thinking that death was near, he called up his family. Between 10 and 11 o'clock the same night he breathed his last. His funeral took place on Saturday list when his remains were buried in the Magill Cemetery, the Rev. T. R. Neville officiating. Only a few friends were present at the grave, no notice having been given of the funeral in consequence of the deceased's express wish that the burial should be conducted in a strictly private manner. Mr. Hallett has left a widow and 10 children— five sons, and five daughters. Of the latter, one is married to Mr. Carlile, of Mickolo, Western Plains; one to Dr. Goldsmith, of Robe; and one to Mr. Woods, of the South Australian Bank, at the same place.
