        MR. GEORGE HANNAFORD DEAD.

        FIRST TO EXPORT APPLES.

        Mr. George Hannaford died at his home, North-terrace, Kent Town, yesterday, after a long illness. He was well-known in Adelaide, because he was the first South Australian to export apples from here to England and Germany. He was born at Hartley Valley, near Gumeracha, in 1851, and was the third son of Mr. George William Hannaford. When only 15 years of age Mr. Hannaford, with three of his brothers, left home for Riverton, where they started farming. In 1875 he married Miss B. Linfield, of Kent, England. She died in 1823. After his marriage he left Riverton, and continued farming on Yorke Peninsula. While there he re-ceived an appointment of manager of a Government experimental farm at Manna-hill. From there he shifted to Cudlee Creek, where he was engaged in fruit-growing. His orchard was producing well in 1896, and he made arrangements for the first shipment of apples to be sent from South Australia to England and Germany. They were packed by his sons, and on arrival of the shipment at the overseas markets they brought high prices. Mr. Hannaford was well known for his move in exporting his fruit, and before he retired he had a large business in exporting apples and pears. After leaving Cudlee Creek he came to Adelaide, and settled at Kent Town. He was an active member of the Baptist and Methodist churches in the districts where he had lived. For many years he contributed items of pubic interest to the Adelaide press. He leaves three sons and three daughters. Messrs E. H. Hannaford, M.P., and mayor of St Peters: H. H. Hannaford, Mile End; and H. O. Hannaford, Belair: and Mesdames Allan P. Poole. St. Peters; A. W. Lillecrapp, Eden Valley: and W. S. Hood, North Sydney. Another son, Mr. George Hannaford died in 1900. The funeral will lake place at the Cudlee Creek Cemetery where his remains will be interred in the family vault.
