Hamilton Church.
MANY people in South Australia are not aware of the beauty of the little church of St. Matthew's, Hamilton, in the parish of Kapunda, and of early settlers who lie at rest in the little cemetery there. Laurie H. Ellis, of Hamilton, says:
One finds on a very old tablet the inscription:—"Sacred to the memory of Andrew Jacobs, who arrived in this colony on November 9, 1836. and departed this life on March 8, 1864, aged 58 years. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord."
He arrived in the ship Africaine, and was among the first settlers to set foot on South Australian soil.
