Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1891, and migrated to Australia as a
young man. He was baptised into Christ by Pastor H. C.
White in Hobart, Tasmania. For many years he was an elder
of the Hobart church, a member of the Tasmanian
Conference Executive Committee, and a prominent Hoban
photographer. He retired in New South Wales and passed
peacefully to rest at the Sydney Adventist Hospital on
Wednesday morning, March 28, 1979, aged eighty-eight
years. His wife, Margaret (née Eyre) predeceased him, but an
only daughter, June, mourns the loss of a loving father.
Words of hope and comfort were spoken at the Northern
Suburbs Crematorium on March 29 by Pastor G. Maywald
and the writer. E. I. Totenhofer.
