THE LATE MR. FREDERICK HANNAFORD.

On Friday, March 18, the funeral of the late Mr. Frederick Hannaford took place. The deceased gentleman was a native of Devonshire and had been a colonist for nearly 60 years. He was a farmer in years gone by, having first engaged in the industry on the Adelaide plains. Subsequently he went to Gumeracha, in which constituency he became so popular that he afterwards entered the House of Assembly as one of its representatives. After spending some years in the Gumeracha district he went to the Gilbert and still carried on farming. Later on he kept an hotel at Riverton, and still later conducted milling operations at Clare. He spent some years in the north, but was eventually induced to return to Gumeracha, and it was while residing there this time that he developed a desire to enter into public life. Apart from his Parliamentary work he acted as a member of the Central Road Board for some years. Increasing age prevented him from taking a prominent part in public affairs lately, and he died at Kent Town on March 16. The funeral service was conducted by Pastor Rankine, and the company round the grave included Messrs. Elliott and William Hannaford (sons). Mrs. G. McMillan (daughter), Messrs. G. and J. H. Hannaford (brothers), G. H., John, and Stephen Hannaford (nephews), I. McMillan (son-in-law), Mrs. E. Hannaford, Mrs. W. Hannaford, Captain W. R Randell, Messrs. J. Williams, A. Bethune, E. Kelly, and A. C. Weir.
