 Dr. Andrew Mclntyre IED at Glasgow, Scotland, October 1883. A highly respected colonist, and identified with South Australia for upwards of thirty years. 

William Hill, J.P., N enterprising colonist, who, for upwards of thirty-two years, was connected with the well-known milling firm of John Dunn & Co., of Adelaide. He was a native of Cornwall, born in 1830, and arrived in South Australia at an early age, Mr. Hill was respected for his energy, urbanity, tact, and general business ability; and from the first day he entered the service of Messrs. Dunn & Co., until the close of his useful career, exhibited these qualities in a marked degree. He was placed in charge of their Adelaide store, and in course of time admitted into partnership. Though widely known and esteemed in commercial circles, Mr. Hill had but little to do with public life. He was for a while an acceptable lay preacher, and afterwards, for a period, a member of the Glenelg Municipal Council In his various relationships in private life he was admired, and his loss as a member of the firm to which he belonged was deeply deplored by his partners. On the thirtieth anniversary of his connection with the establishment, his confreres presented him with a valuable gold watch to show the sense they entertained of his services. About five years ago he visited England, returning by way of America. Mr. Hill was married to Miss Dunn, a daughter of John Dunn, sen., Esq., J.P., of Mount Barker, and sister of the Hon. John Dunn, jun., M.L.C.; of a family of five, three daughters survive. He was one who externally appeared likely to live to the age of three score and ten, but he died somewhat suddenly at Glenelg, on September 11, 1885, in his 55th year.
