The founding and maintaining of a hospital in Gawler was made possible by the funds from the estate of a Mr Thomas Hutchinson who died on the 30th of August 1901, and had been a resident of the town for over 50 years, serving as Town Inspector and later as a Councillor. The funds, approximately 10 Thousand Pounds, became available on the death of his wife on 12th April 1911. The family home in High Street was sold to provide the funds. The first Hospital Board was formed and at their first meeting on 28th August 1911 it was decided to purchase two acres of land, from a Mr Copley for 100 pounds, on an elevated site on East Terrace for the Hospital.

The well know Adelaide architect Mr Alfred Wells prepared the plans and on the 15th July 1912 a tender from J T Quinn & Co, of Hamley Bridge to erect the building at a cost of 3,346 pounds was accepted by the Board. This was actually the lowest tender.

At a meeting of the Hospital Board on the 27th September 1913, Sister Treuman the matron of the Pinnaroo District Hospital, and formerly from the Kapunda Hospital, was appointed as matron. There were nine applications for the position. At the same meeting a letter from the Chief Secretary indicated that the Government were prepared to match pound for pound any bequests or donations made towards the building and its management.

The Hutchinson Hospital was officially opened on the 19th November 1913 by Mr A J Murray with a silver key presented to him by Mr E H Coombe, the Chairman of the Hospital Board. The capital value of the buildings was 5,761 pounds, 10 shillings and 6 pence. The Hospital comprised two wards of four to five beds in each, an operating room, four bedrooms and other facilities.

On Sunday 23rd May 1937, Mr William Dawkins, aged 86, died in the Hutchinson Hospital. He was a former Gawler Mayor, and one of the original Trustees appointed to administer the will that provided for construction of the Hospital.

Over the years there were several other trusts established which were able to take advantage of the pound for pound offer made by the Government to assist in the operation of the Hospital: John Potts in 1915, James Commons in 1937, John Dingle in 1944 Lydia Helps in 1944 and Ann Magarey in 1947.

In September 1994 the name of the Hutchinson Hospital was changed to "Gawler Health Service Incorporated" and in October 1994 the board relocated its operations to the new public hospital. Proceeds from the sale of the Hutchinson Hospital were paid to the South Australian Health Commission to offset the cost of building and equipping the new public hospital.

The Engine and Driver is the original name of the hotel now known as the [[Criterion Tavern 18 Nineteenth Street|Criterion Tavern]], which is located at 18 Nineteenth Street, Gawler South (formerly Murray Street, [[Bassett Town]]), opposite the [[Gawler Railway Station Nineteenth Street|Gawler Railway Station]]. The hotel operated as the Engine and Driver from when it was first licensed in 1858 until 1863, when on the 14th September the proprietor Mr Catchlove applied to the Bench of Magistrates quarterly meeting to ''“alter the name of his house at Bassett Town from the Engine and Driver to the Criterion Hotel”'' (South Australian Register 15 Sep 1863).

Around the time of the name change the hotel underwent extensive building work. The Gawler Correspondent to The Adelaide Express reported:

''“Great revolutions and alterations are taking place amongst our hostelries.'' ''The Engine and Driver Hotel at the Railway Station has become the “Criterion” and has been improved and beautified so as to form one of the most picturesque buildings of the kind in the colony.'' ''Mr Catchlove leaves us much regretted, and Mr Bassett succeeds him.''”'' ''(The Adelaide Express 9 Mar 1864).''

It is sometimes suggested that the Engine and Driver Hotel was located at 13 or 15 [[Twenty First Street]], Gawler South. However, the hotel at this address is likely to have been Evanston's [[Ram's Head Hotel Evanston|Ram's Head Hotel]].

For information and photographs of the hotel in later years see [[Criterion Tavern 18 Nineteenth Street|Criterion Tavern]].

'''PREFACE'''<br />

During the course of a Board Meeting, the history of our club was raised. It was suggested that one member who had been in the club since its commencement undertake this task. That limited the choice to one.

As I pondered what should be included in the book I contacted our current photographer Ray Hobart. He turned up with all the albums and assisted me in scanning a cross section of one album. For starters we selected the best quality photos which depicted events. There were so many memories in each snap making it more difficult to choose. May I suggest that you take the time to contact Ray and view all albums.

My memory required some help in recalling all of those people who had been members since charter. The Birthday Book was of some help along with the Handover Programs which my wife Nancy, has faithfully kept. I have listed 84 of them in alphabetical order.
Each President had his or her own style of leadership and what better way to record that but to include their Annual Reports. There have been many excellent community service projects, many varied fundraisers and great fellowship ideas. I have added some details below the photos to bring them alive. I do hope you enjoy reading of the achievements, fun and fellowship enjoyed over the years.

'''Mayor 1861-64, 1868, 1877-78 and 1887'''

George E.Loyau. "The Gawler Handbook" p52 James Martin "...left Cornwall, of which he is a native, in his 25th year, and arrived in Adelaide July 1st, 1847. He worked in the metropolis for eleven months, when he went to Gawler, and hired a blacksmith's shop from Mr. Henry Calton."

Derek Whitelock "Gawler" p63 "The young millwright [James Martin] who could turn his hand to anything met Henry Calton of the "Old Spot" who arranged to rent a workshop in Murray Street. He thought Calton "a very fine fellow....who owned a great deal of Gawler."

JAMES MARTIN

Born at Foundry in St. Stithians, Cornwall, England on April 23, 1821, to John and Jane Martin. His father, who died before his birth, had run the foundry which gave the village its name.

James had little education when he began work to help his widowed mother raise seven children. According to Robert Haysom's and Kenny Weller's research [RHr] as a youth he worked for a millwright named Hiplet in Truro and then in 1841, James worked at the Treseaven copper Mine in Gwennap. In 1842 he designed and built the first mine elevator [there were no plans given to him; just a rough sketch and verbal instructions]. This elevator was exhibited in the Falmouth Hall for the Polytechnic Society of Falmouth, won 1500 pounds for the Company and that amount covered one third of the cost of installing the machine in the Mine. He started at the Ponsanooh Woolen Mills and his asthma condition deteriorated.

James migrated to South Australia from Plymouth on 4th April 1847 on the “Belle Alliance”, with Thomas Martin, one of his cousins from Stithians who was a copper miner living in Treboast. [Thomas went to work in the Willunga slate mine]. One of the passengers on the ship was Christiana Fox.

[RSr] James Martin married Christiana Fox on 28th March 1848 at Holy Trinity Church in Adelaide, [Christiana was born in 1818] and James worked for John Ridley in Hindmarsh. [Ridley invented the famous Ridley reaping machine].

James Martin arrived in Gawler on June 15, 1848 with a dray containing his young wife Christiana, some furniture and a few tools, and commenced business in the town. He rented some land from Calton and his first job was to cut down a large tree and, from it he made work benches and a lathe. James commenced building bullock drays but by 1852, he started the manufacture of agricultural implements; primarily reaping machines. Around this time he was able to employ about 30 men which meant a considerable expansion of his premises.

On 16th December 1850, James and Christiana had a son, John.
John was to be called "Captain Jack" in his lifetime.
[On 27th December, 1882 in St Georges Church in Gawler, John married Adelaide Isabel Annie Parr who was born on 5th March 1851 and died in 1933. Adelaide's mother was Mrs Joseph Freake. John died in 1925.]

Unfortunately Christiana passed away on 16th April 1852 when giving birth to their daughter, also named Christiana. His wife was buried in the Town of Gawler cemetery [in what is now Pioneer Park]. Their daughter Christiana was Baptised in St Georges Anglican Church and sadly died [from "decline"] at the age of 2 months and 10 days and, on 20th June 1852 was also buried in the Town of Gawler Cemetery.

Eleven months later, on 6th March 1853, James then married 34 year old Ann Lock (born 1818 and daughter of J. Lock from Dartmouth, Devon) in St Georges Church, Gawler, but she died during childbirth on 7th December 1853 and was buried on 9th December 1853 in the Town of Gawler Cemetery.

On August 2, 1858, in Christ Church North Adelaide, James married Charlotte Vickerstaff Bradley, [born 1819] who was the widow of the first Publican of the Gawler Arms Hotel. She survived until age 75 and died on 7th November 1894.

[RHr] In 1860, his brother Felix [born 23rd May 1813 in Stithians, Cornwell] arrived in Gawler with his son John [born 14th August 1844 in Stithians and who married Christina McNeil and John died in 1916] and Felix died in that year. James became John's Guardian.

That year James became a Master of the Lodge of Fidelity and continued in that position until 1870. In 1857 he was Alderman in Gawler's first Council. In the years 1858 -1860 and 1867 James was President of the Gawler Institute. Becoming Mayor of Gawler in 1861, he also became Vice-President of the Gawler AH&F Society, Director of a Building Society and in 1863 became President of Gawler AH&F Society [as well as 1864, 1869, 1874 and 1877] and in 1864 became a JP.

In 1866, James built his home "outside of town", calling it "Trevu".

Thomas Loutit entered into partnership with Mr. James Martin in 1858, which lasted until 1868 when it dissolved as a consequence of Thomas’ deteriorating health. While working with Mr. Martin, he introduced steam power, and improved machinery, which helped lay the foundation of Gawler’s reputation for engineering. The partners set up the Phoenix Factory, which enabled the firm to extend its range of production, as farming was expanded in the Gawler region. They were one of the leaders in this type of industry in Australia at the time.

In 1869, James presented the land [now 91 Murray Street] to establish the Gawler Institute building and in 1870, the Institute foundation stone was laid by Governor James Fergusson.

In 1874, Fred May and John Felix Martin were taken into partnership with James. On 17th October, a serious boiler explosion sent the end of a boiler across the road into the garden of James Harris [land on the NW corner of High Street currently occupied by Centrelink].

In 1880, James returned to England for 10 months, returning with plan to manufacture railway locomotives. In this year, John Martin died [James' eldest brother], and the first railway wagon was built and in 1881 a tender was accepted for the building of 200 railway wagons. In 1883, James became a member of the Gawler Racing Club. On 4th March 1885 his partnership with Fred May ended and on 8th May, James was elected Member of the Legislative Council and retained that position until 1899.

Possessing a natural ability with anything mechanical, James built his business up to such a degree that at one time he employed around 700 men on a property that covered 18 acres. Starting with farm implements, he then produced mining machinery and finally railway locomotives and rolling stock.

In 1888, his tender was accepted by the SA Government for the manufacture of 47 locomotive engines for a contract price of 167,000 Pounds, The first locomotive was delivered 11th April 1890 and he then secured a contract for another 92.

In March 1891, the SA Cornish Association was formed in Gawler with Hon James Martin M.L.C as President.

By 1892, James was employing 700 men in Gawler. James was responsible for building 268 locomotives and these were sent all over Australia.

In 1893 James was elected member of the Gawler School of Mines Council and he was a Co- Trustee of the St Georges Church Fund, and in 1850 was Co-Trustee of the Gawler Methodist Church and supporter for the building of the Presbyterian Church. He was a Committee Member of the Gawler Bible Society, Gawler Race Club, Captain of the Gawler Rifles and from 1873 was a member of the Gawler Club.

On 23rd December 1894 the 100th Locomotive was built. On 15th June 1898, 1500 people were at a celebration at Gawler Oval in honour of James living 50 years in Gawler.

James Martin seemed to have a hand in almost every Gawler venture, and beside his eight years as Mayor [in 1861 - 1864, 1868, 1877 - 1878 and 1887], he was the Member for Parliament for the Barossa from 1865-1868 and a Member of the Legislative Council from 1885 until his death on December 24, 1899.

One of the founders of the Institute – he donated some of the land for the building – he laid the foundation stones of the Gawler Primary School (April 12, 1877), and the Town Hall (April 16, 1878). He was a Committee Member for the Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Gawler’s most famous “father”, James Martin served the town well, and helped establish Gawler after the hard times, when, after only six men were left in the town through the 1850s gold-rush, his enterprise gave work to many people to help build a thriving community.

An alderman on Gawler’s first council in 1857, James Martin is regarded as the father of Gawler.

James Martin died 27th December 1899 and a special train ran from Adelaide to convey mourners to the funeral. His funeral procession towards the Willaston Cemetery was one mile long. The funeral service finished before the last of the procession arrived at the Cemetery.

A statue of him, made of white marble, was erected on the corner of Calton Road and Murray Street on 15th August 1903 and unveiled by Sir Samuel Way. On 2nd June 1969, it was shifted to proudly stand tall in Whitelaw Terrace. It was cleaned and repaired in 2014, the year Gawler was celebrating its 175th year.

Evidently his sister Jane organised for a memorial to be erected in the Stithians Parish Church to honor James.

James estate amounted to 27,000 pounds [equivalent to about $4 million in 2017] and it included land which he left to his son John, a farmer, and his business went to his nephew John Felix Martin.

James Martin's Last Will and Testament has been scanned and appears when one clicks onto the "photos of James Martin" link below.

An oil painting of Mr. Martin, which was presented to the Institute in the 1860s, remains in the Gawler Library, and on 17th August 2017 a further painting of James Martin was presented to Town of Gawler by the Lodge of Fidelity.

The following summary of the life of James Martin was presented to John Dawkins MLC by the South Australian Parliament Research Library in 2018.....

"Apprenticed to a millwright, the young James Martin had little formal education. Despite the status of his education, he showcased a tremendous talent for innovation, which was first shown by his involvement in the invention of a 'man engine': a kind of elevator, which was widely adopted in the hazardous mines. As a blacksmith, he could turn his hand to anything and the quality of his work, once recognized, lead him into the manufacturing of farming tools, bullock drays and iron work. Soon his company - James Martin & Co. - had spread to other towns including Quorn and Gladstone. He won a Government Contract in 1888 to construct 52 locomotives after James Martin & Co. expanded, introducing railway rolling stock into the business. His trains were beautifully designed and served to launch James Martin & Co to the peak of its success.

Martin was elected Mayor of Gawler several times and was a leading member and patron of most of the town's organisations. He represented Barossa in the House of Assembly in 1865-68 and North-Eastern Province in the Legislative Council in 1885-99.

In 1865 he had supported Goyder's valuations of the pastoral runs and in 1885 a protective tariff, both popular causes, but by 1894 he had moved to the right. On the hustings he criticized the Labor Party and favoured the programme of the conservative National Defence League which endorsed his candidature.

His greatest parliamentary achievement was to secure the construction of the Barossa reservoir which supplied Gawler with water from 1902. In 1903 a statue with the inscription 'A tribute to his public worth' was placed in the town's main street; it now stands in a park on the banks of the South Para River."

George E. Loyau "The Gawler Handbook" [G.E.L.] pp166 and 167 "After McKinlay's death it was universally felt that something should be done to perpetuate his memory, and accordingly, meetings were held in Gawler and a Committee was formed to carry out the wish of the people - vis., that a suitable monument should be erected "to commemorate his personal worth and the services rendered by him to the colonies as an explorer." The site selected was at the terminal point of Murray-street, at its junction with Cowan-street, and adjacent to the old burial ground. The Committee chosen to carry out the matter, and who brought it to a successful issue, were as follows:- Chairman, W.F. Wincey, Esq., J.P., Mayor of Gawler; Treasurers, J.

Around this time he was able to employ about 30 men which meant a considerable expansion of his premises.

On 16th December 1850, James and Christiana had a son, John.
John was to be called "Captain Jack" in his lifetime.
[On 27th December, 1882 in St Georges Church in Gawler, John married Adelaide Isabel Annie Parr who was born on 5th March 1851 and died in 1933. Adelaide's mother was Mrs Joseph Freake. John died in 1925.]

Unfortunately Christiana passed away on 16th April 1852 when giving birth to their daughter, also named Christiana. His wife was buried in the Town of Gawler cemetery [in what is now Pioneer Park]. Their daughter Christiana was Baptised in St Georges Anglican Church and sadly died [from "decline"] at the age of 2 months and 10 days and, on 20th June 1852 was also buried in the Town of Gawler Cemetery.

Eleven months later, on 6th March 1853, James then married 34 year old Ann Lock (born 1818 and daughter of J. Lock from Dartmouth, Devon) in St Georges Church, Gawler, but she died during childbirth on 7th December 1853 and was buried on 9th December 1853 in the Town of Gawler Cemetery.

On August 2, 1858, in Christ Church North Adelaide, James married Charlotte Vickerstaff Bradley, [born 1819] who was the widow of the first Publican of the Gawler Arms Hotel. She survived until age 75 and died on 7th November 1894.

[RHr] In 1860, his brother Felix [born 23rd May 1813 in Stithians, Cornwell] arrived in Gawler with his son John [born 14th August 1844 in Stithians and who married Christina McNeil and John died in 1916] and Felix died in that year. James became John's Guardian.

That year James became a Master of the Lodge of Fidelity and continued in that position until 1870. In 1857 he was Alderman in Gawler's first Council. In the years 1858 -1860 and 1867 James was President of the Gawler Institute. Becoming Mayor of Gawler in 1861, he also became Vice-President of the Gawler AH&F Society, Director of a Building Society and in 1863 became President of Gawler AH&F Society [as well as 1864, 1869, 1874 and 1877] and in 1864 became a JP.

In 1866, James built his home "outside of town", calling it "Trevu".

Thomas Loutit entered into partnership with Mr. James Martin in 1858, which lasted until 1868 when it dissolved as a consequence of Thomas’ deteriorating health. While working with Mr. Martin, he introduced steam power, and improved machinery, which helped lay the foundation of Gawler’s reputation for engineering. The partners set up the Phoenix Factory, which enabled the firm to extend its range of production, as farming was expanded in the Gawler region. They were one of the leaders in this type of industry in Australia at the time.

In 1869, James presented the land [now 91 Murray Street] to establish the Gawler Institute building and in 1870, the Institute foundation stone was laid by Governor James Fergusson.

In 1874, Fred May and John Felix Martin were taken into partnership with James. On 17th October, a serious boiler explosion sent the end of a boiler across the road into the garden of James Harris [land on the NW corner of High Street currently occupied by Centrelink].

In 1880, James returned to England for 10 months, returning with plan to manufacture railway locomotives. In this year, John Martin died [James' eldest brother], and the first railway wagon was built and in 1881 a tender was accepted for the building of 200 railway wagons. In 1883, James became a member of the Gawler Racing Club. On 4th March 1885 his partnership with Fred May ended and on 8th May, James was elected Member of the Legislative Council and retained that position until 1899.

Possessing a natural ability with anything mechanical, James built his business up to such a degree that at one time he employed around 700 men on a property that covered 18 acres. Starting with farm implements, he then produced mining machinery and finally railway locomotives and rolling stock.

In 1888, his tender was accepted by the SA Government for the manufacture of 47 locomotive engines for a contract price of 167,000 Pounds, The first locomotive was delivered 11th April 1890 and he then secured a contract for another 92.

In March 1891, the SA Cornish Association was formed in Gawler with Hon James Martin M.L.C as President.

By 1892, James was employing 700 men in Gawler. James was responsible for building 268 locomotives and these were sent all over Australia.

In 1893 James was elected member of the Gawler School of Mines Council and he was a Co- Trustee of the St Georges Church Fund, and in 1850 was Co-Trustee of the Gawler Methodist Church and supporter for the building of the Presbyterian Church. He was a Committee Member of the Gawler Bible Society, Gawler Race Club, Captain of the Gawler Rifles and from 1873 was a member of the Gawler Club.

On 23rd December 1894 the 100th Locomotive was built. On 15th June 1898, 1500 people were at a celebration at Gawler Oval in honour of James living 50 years in Gawler.

James Martin seemed to have a hand in almost every Gawler venture, and beside his eight years as Mayor [in 1861 - 1864, 1868, 1877 - 1878 and 1887], he was the Member for Parliament for the Barossa from 1865-1868 and a Member of the Legislative Council from 1885 until his death on December 24, 1899.

One of the founders of the Institute – he donated some of the land for the building – he laid the foundation stones of the Gawler Primary School (April 12, 1877), and the Town Hall (April 16, 1878). He was a Committee Member for the Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Gawler’s most famous “father”, James Martin served the town well, and helped establish Gawler after the hard times, when, after only six men were left in the town through the 1850s gold-rush, his enterprise gave work to many people to help build a thriving community.

An alderman on Gawler’s first council in 1857, James Martin is regarded as the father of Gawler.

James Martin died 27th December 1899 and a special train ran from Adelaide to convey mourners to the funeral. His funeral procession towards the Willaston Cemetery was one mile long. The funeral service finished before the last of the procession arrived at the Cemetery.

A statue of him, made of white marble, was erected on the corner of Calton Road and Murray Street on 15th August 1903 and unveiled by Sir Samuel Way. On 2nd June 1969, it was shifted to proudly stand tall in Whitelaw Terrace. It was cleaned and repaired in 2014, the year Gawler was celebrating its 175th year.

Evidently his sister Jane organised for a memorial to be erected in the Stithians Parish Church to honor James.

James estate amounted to 27,000 pounds [equivalent to about $4 million in 2017] and it included land which he left to his son John, a farmer, and his business went to his nephew John Felix Martin.

James Martin's Last Will and Testament has been scanned and appears when one clicks onto the "photos of James Martin" link below.

An oil painting of Mr. Martin, which was presented to the Institute in the 1860s, remains in the Gawler Library, and on 17th August 2017 a further painting of James Martin was presented to Town of Gawler by the Lodge of Fidelity.

The following summary of the life of James Martin was presented to John Dawkins MLC by the South Australian Parliament Research Library in 2018.....

"Apprenticed to a millwright, the young James Martin had little formal education. Despite the status of his education, he showcased a tremendous talent for innovation, which was first shown by his involvement in the invention of a 'man engine': a kind of elevator, which was widely adopted in the hazardous mines. As a blacksmith, he could turn his hand to anything and the quality of his work, once recognized, lead him into the manufacturing of farming tools, bullock drays and iron work. Soon his company - James Martin & Co. - had spread to other towns including Quorn and Gladstone. He won a Government Contract in 1888 to construct 52 locomotives after James Martin & Co. expanded, introducing railway rolling stock into the business. His trains were beautifully designed and served to launch James Martin & Co to the peak of its success.

Martin was elected Mayor of Gawler several times and was a leading member and patron of most of the town's organisations. He represented Barossa in the House of Assembly in 1865-68 and North-Eastern Province in the Legislative Council in 1885-99.

In 1865 he had supported Goyder's valuations of the pastoral runs and in 1885 a protective tariff, both popular causes, but by 1894 he had moved to the right. On the hustings he criticized the Labor Party and favoured the programme of the conservative National Defence League which endorsed his candidature.

His greatest parliamentary achievement was to secure the construction of the Barossa reservoir which supplied Gawler with water from 1902. In 1903 a statue with the inscription 'A tribute to his public worth' was placed in the town's main street; it now stands in a park on the banks of the South Para River."

George E. Loyau "The Gawler Handbook" [G.E.L.] pp166 and 167 "After McKinlay's death it was universally felt that something should be done to perpetuate his memory, and accordingly, meetings were held in Gawler and a Committee was formed to carry out the wish of the people - vis., that a suitable monument should be erected "to commemorate his personal worth and the services rendered by him to the colonies as an explorer." The site selected was at the terminal point of Murray-street, at its junction with Cowan-street, and adjacent to the old burial ground. The Committee chosen to carry out the matter, and who brought it to a successful issue, were as follows:- Chairman, W.F. Wincey, Esq., J.P., Mayor of Gawler; Treasurers, J. Thornley, Esq., J.P., Manager Bank of South Australia, Gawler, Richard Holland, Esq., J.P., Turretfield, near Gawler; Hon. Secretary, John Rudall, Esq., Gawler;

'''Mayor 1861-64, 1868, 1877-78 and 1887'''

George E.Loyau. "The Gawler Handbook" p52 James Martin "...left Cornwall, of which he is a native, in his 25th year, and arrived in Adelaide July 1st, 1847. He worked in the metropolis for eleven months, when he went to Gawler, and hired a blacksmith's shop from Mr. Henry Calton."

Derek Whitelock "Gawler" p63 "The young millwright [James Martin] who could turn his hand to anything met Henry Calton of the "Old Spot" who arranged to rent a workshop in Murray Street. He thought Calton "a very fine fellow....who owned a great deal of Gawler."

JAMES MARTIN

Born at Foundry in St. Stithians, Cornwall, England on April 23, 1821, to John and Jane Martin. His father, who died before his birth, had run the foundry which gave the village its name.

James had little education when he began work to help his widowed mother raise seven children. According to Robert Haysom's and Kenny Weller's research [RHr] as a youth he worked for a millwright named Hiplet in Truro and then in 1841, James worked at the Treseaven copper Mine in Gwennap. In 1842 he designed and built the first mine elevator [there were no plans given to him; just a rough sketch and verbal instructions]. This elevator was exhibited in the Falmouth Hall for the Polytechnic Society of Falmouth, won 1500 pounds for the Company and that amount covered one third of the cost of installing the machine in the Mine. He started at the Ponsanooh Woolen Mills and his asthma condition deteriorated.

James migrated to South Australia from Plymouth on 4th April 1847 on the “Belle Alliance”, with Thomas Martin, one of his cousins from Stithians who was a copper miner living in Treboast. [Thomas went to work in the Willunga slate mine]. One of the passengers on the ship was Christiana Fox.

[RSr] James Martin married Christiana Fox on 28th March 1848 at Holy Trinity Church in Adelaide, [Christiana was born in 1818] and James worked for John Ridley in Hindmarsh. [Ridley invented the famous Ridley reaping machine].

James Martin arrived in Gawler on June 15, 1848 with a dray containing his young wife Christiana, some furniture and a few tools, and commenced business in the town. He rented some land from Calton and his first job was to cut down a large tree and, from it he made work benches and a lathe. James commenced building bullock drays but by 1852, he started the manufacture of agricultural implements; primarily reaping machines. Around this time he was able to employ about 30 men which meant a considerable expansion of his premises.

On 16th December 1850, James and Christiana had a son, John.
John was to be called "Captain Jack" in his lifetime.
[On 27th December, 1882 in St Georges Church in Gawler, John married Adelaide Isabel Annie Parr who was born on 5th March 1851 and died in 1933. Adelaide's mother was Mrs Joseph Freake. John died in 1925.]

Unfortunately Christiana passed away on 16th April 1852 when giving birth to their daughter, also named Christiana. His wife was buried in the Town of Gawler cemetery [in what is now Pioneer Park]. Their daughter Christiana was Baptised in St Georges Anglican Church and sadly died [from "decline"] at the age of 2 months and 10 days and, on 20th June 1852 was also buried in the Town of Gawler Cemetery.

Eleven months later, on 6th March 1853, James then married 34 year old Ann Lock (born 1818 and daughter of J. Lock from Dartmouth, Devon) in St Georges Church, Gawler, but she died during childbirth on 7th December 1853 and was buried on 9th December 1853 in the Town of Gawler Cemetery.

On August 2, 1858, in Christ Church North Adelaide, James married Charlotte Vickerstaff Bradley, [born 1819] who was the widow of the first Publican of the Gawler Arms Hotel. She survived until age 75 and died on 7th November 1894.

[RHr] In 1860, his brother Felix [born 23rd May 1813 in Stithians, Cornwell] arrived in Gawler with his son John [born 14th August 1844 in Stithians and who married Christina McNeil and John died in 1916] and Felix died in that year. James became John's Guardian.

That year James became a Master of the Lodge of Fidelity and continued in that position until 1870. In 1857 he was Alderman in Gawler's first Council. In the years 1858 -1860 and 1867 James was President of the Gawler Institute. Becoming Mayor of Gawler in 1861, he also became Vice-President of the Gawler AH&F Society, Director of a Building Society and in 1863 became President of Gawler AH&F Society [as well as 1864, 1869, 1874 and 1877] and in 1864 became a JP.

In 1866, James built his home "outside of town", calling it "Trevu".

Thomas Loutit entered into partnership with Mr. James Martin in 1858, which lasted until 1868 when it dissolved as a consequence of Thomas’ deteriorating health. While working with Mr. Martin, he introduced steam power, and improved machinery, which helped lay the foundation of Gawler’s reputation for engineering. The partners set up the Phoenix Factory, which enabled the firm to extend its range of production, as farming was expanded in the Gawler region. They were one of the leaders in this type of industry in Australia at the time.

In 1869, James presented the land [now 91 Murray Street] to establish the Gawler Institute building and in 1870, the Institute foundation stone was laid by Governor James Fergusson.

In 1874, Fred May and John Felix Martin were taken into partnership with James. On 17th October, a serious boiler explosion sent the end of a boiler across the road into the garden of James Harris [land on the NW corner of High Street currently occupied by Centrelink].

In 1880, James returned to England for 10 months, returning with plan to manufacture railway locomotives. In this year, John Martin died [James' eldest brother], and the first railway wagon was built and in 1881 a tender was accepted for the building of 200 railway wagons. In 1883, James became a member of the Gawler Racing Club. On 4th March 1885 his partnership with Fred May ended and on 8th May, James was elected Member of the Legislative Council and retained that position until 1899.

He was a Committee Member of the Gawler Bible Society, Gawler Race Club, Captain of the Gawler Rifles and from 1873 was a member of the Gawler Club.

On 23rd December 1894 the 100th Locomotive was built. On 15th June 1898, 1500 people were at a celebration at Gawler Oval in honour of James living 50 years in Gawler.

Lillian passed away at age 92 years on 16th April 2019.

She married Robert Lethbridge Bartlett who was Councillor for the Town of Gawler Evanston Ward
in 1882 – 1984, and Turner Ward from 1985 – 1987. He was a Gawler Alderman 1987 – 1989 and
held the Gawler Mayor 1989 to 1993.

Lillian became Councillor for Turner Ward 1995 – 2000 and became an Area Councillor 2000 – 2010.
She was a feisty Councillor, with many opinions, and possessing great determination on Council. She
and Cr Warren Dibben pushed hard to have a lift installed in the Institute, and, once achieved,
Council named the lift after her.

Brian Thom remembers the time when Council was placed in the position of deciding whether to
take over from a private contractor the total running of what is now the Gawler Sport and
Recreation Centre. In the debate, Lillian said “My late Husband Robert would turn over in his grave if
that went ahead.” Needless to say that when the vote was taken, in a very close vote, Lillian voted
for Council to take it over. We Councillors were somewhat perplexed.

gawlerhistory.com launch 2nd may 2019 - TRANSCRIPT OF OPENING SPEECH

Ladies and gentlemen, over the last 8 years, the Gawler History Team Inc. has significantly benefited by the expertise and vision of Dr Darren Peacock, who assisted us to create our first website gawler.nowandthen.net.au

We acknowledge Darren’s passion for towns like Gawler to showcase its photographic history and articles for the world to see.

We are thrilled that we now have over 21,000 such items available on the website template that Darren Peacock created for us to use. The time had come, however, for the website layout to be modernized so that current technology is effectively embraced; especially when people are using their mobile phones to a much greater extent. Accordingly, the decision was made to create a new website to accommodate that need for clarity and simplicity, and a website that we are able to be in complete control of; especially when cyber gremlins invade periodically to cause problems.

The challenge to create the new website was taken up and I acknowledge the expertise of David Ward, Tim Kipling and Raff Stomaci who took on the role to create gawlerhistory.com

With the assistance of Paul Barnet and Ian McDonnell and other Gawler History Team members, I believe that the end result truly satisfys the objectives we set.

Before I ask Mayor Redman to officially launch gawlerhistory.com I ask Darren Peacock to address us, CEO of the Town of Gawler Henry Inat to address us and then Raff Stomanci to give us an insight into the technological problems faced by David, Tim and Raff.

Please welcome Dr. Darren Peacock, the creator of NowandThen.

It gives me great pleasure to invite the CEO of the Town of Gawler Henry Inat to say a few words.

I now ask Raff Stomaci to address us on the challenges the technical team faced.

It gives me great pleasure to invite Mayor Karen Redman to officially launch gawlerhistory.com

Willaston Migrant Hostel

'''Willaston Migrant Hostel'''<br />

After World War II the Air Force buildings at Willaston were used as accommodation for a Migrant Hostel. Migrants came from Central and Eastern Europe (so called, Displaced Persons), and then a second wave from the United Kingdom. Willaston was selected as there was a railway line nearby to enable migrants to travel to their employment. Accommodation was rent free until residents found their first jobs.

[["The Bunyip" newspaper|The Bunyip]] on December 2nd, 1949 reported that- “New arrivals at Hostel all placed in employment. Some have begun work in local industries, whilst the majority have gone to city manufacturing concerns such as General-Motors Holdens Ltd, and Chrysler-Dodge Ltd.” The paper mentioned that a Serbian civil engineer was working at a glass factory, a draughtsman and surveyor had obtained work at an asbestos works. There was also a lawyer and music conductor. With this intake there were 400 people at the hostel, including 85 married couples. Some women were employed by the [[Timer Fashions Limited|Timer factory]] in Gawler.
The hostel closed in September 1952, with the last tenants moving to either the Glenelg or Finsbury Hostels. Some 50 migrants were able to find accommodation in the Gawler area.<br />

The post-war period was a bleak time for some, with a lack of housing and work. Derek Whitelock in his book “Gawler: Colonel Light’s Country Town” stated that none of the thousand houses in Gawler was unoccupied and that 150 families were sharing homes with one or more other families. No new building had been erected in Willaston for ten years.
On 13th May 1955, The Bunyip announced that the Migrant Hostel would be re-opening.
“It is understood the Migrant Hostel at Willaston will be reopened next month. About 700 migrants are expected to occupy the buildings. Most of them will be married couples. The majority of newcomers will be British, it is believed.”<br />

In January 1956, the Bunyip reported the arrival of over 300 British migrants to the Gawler (Willaston) Hostel. They had travelled from England on the Italian liner “Fairsea” and were brought to Gawler by bus. Statements of welcome were issued by the Mayor, [[Goodger Elliott Chivell|Mr. E.C. Goodger]] and other civic leaders. The local branch of the Good Neighbour Council organised a social at the hostel on Saturday 14th January 1956. The social programme included musical items, dancing and supper .Over 500 people attended the social, including 300 migrants and 200 locals. A further 8 migrant families arrived in February, travelling from England on the “Iberia”. Further families arrived in March 1956, travelling from England on the “New Australia”. They arrived in Melbourne and then travelled by rail to Adelaide and then on to the hostel.<br />

Over time, some families remained in the area, whilst others moved to Elizabeth and Salisbury to work in industries like General Motors-Holden.

Rawlings Neptune Service Station - By Allen Tiller

In the latter 1940s and early 1950’s The South Australian Highways Department planned to build a new bypass road around Gawler. The Highways Department plan included a double lane road that passed through the land of Mr D.G. Willison south of Gawler at the southern end of the racecourse. It then travelled along O’Toole’s Road to the west, crossing Angle Vale Road at Prizabella’s Corner, then over Winkels Bridge, out around Willaston, and then south of Willaston Cemetery, connecting again to Main North Road.

The intersection where the new highway was going to reconnect in Willaston was near land that was owned by the Rawlings family. The Rawlings were approached by Petrol company Shell, to purchase the land so they could build a service station. Instead, Laurie Rawlings, decided he would build and run the service station himself, on his land, under Shell’s licensing as a Neptune Service Station.

Mr Rawlings drew up a plan for a small service station. Rawlings poured his own concrete bricks, building the service station himself. Rawlings Neptune Service Station opened in the early 1950’s.

As fate would have it, the proposed Bypass was altered many times, and when it was eventually built, passed the northern side of the Willaston cemetery. This left the Neptune Service Station a long distance from the highway it was intended to service.

Laurence and his wife, Joan persevered with their service station, the only 24 hours service station in Gawler at the time. Joan would work days, and Laurie nights. A service bell was installed that could be heard next door at the Rawlings House. Laurie would wake up, walk next door and pump petrol or check oil for afterhours customers.

Rawlings Neptune Service Station phone number in the 1950s was: 526-U.

The Neptune Service Station closed in 1963.

Denise Schumann – Gawler History Team's Chairman Brian Thom’s introduction of her on 2/5/2019...

“I have had the pleasure of working with Denise Schumann OAM for over 8 years; especially over the last 4 years being a member of the Gawler Heritage Collection Committee; with Denise being present at most of the monthly meetings.

Our committee has made every effort to encourage Town of Gawler Council to continually engage Denise for her advise on many aspects of the fine-tuning needed in the planning to achieve the transformation of the Gawler Institute and Gawler Town Hall into the new Gawler Civic Centre.

Whether it be input regarding levels of airconditoning, appropriate lighting, wall colours, the placement of piping, shelving or cabinets, Denise’s determination and input has been consistantly impressive; soas to create many positive outcomes.

Obviously her experience gained from her involvement during the restoration of the Norwood, Payneham and St Peters Council building has had a positive benefit for Gawler.

Then we see her expertise in the necessary scanning, recording, display design and storing arrangements of the thousands of Gawler’s historic artifacts, followed by her selection of same to create the “Into the Light” exhibition now to be seen within the old Council Chambers.
Wow!!! A magnificent display has been created.

Thank you Denise for your concern, experience and enthusiasm to always seek the best and most artistically correct outcome, so that we all can be extremely proud of the final designs incorporated within Gawler Civic Centre.”

<small>''History of The Kiwanis Club of Gawler SA Inc.''</small>

'''PREFACE'''<br />

During the course of a Board Meeting, the history of our club was raised. It was suggested that one member who had been in the club since its commencement undertake this task. That limited the choice to one.

As I pondered what should be included in the book I contacted our current photographer Ray Hobart. He turned up with all the albums and assisted me in scanning a cross section of one album. For starters we selected the best quality photos which depicted events. There were so many memories in each snap making it more difficult to choose. May I suggest that you take the time to contact Ray and view all albums.

My memory required some help in recalling all of those people who had been members since charter. The Birthday Book was of some help along with the Handover Programs which my wife Nancy, has faithfully kept. I have listed 84 of them in alphabetical order.
Each President had his or her own style of leadership and what better way to record that but to include their Annual Reports. There have been many excellent community service projects, many varied fundraisers and great fellowship ideas. I have added some details below the photos to bring them alive. I do hope you enjoy reading of the achievements, fun and fellowship enjoyed over the years.

I do hope you enjoy reading of the achievements, fun and fellowship enjoyed over the years.

The Town of Gawler has recently appointed renowned Adelaide artist Greg Johns to construct his sculptural work “Land Lines” at the southern entrance of Gawler to appropriately address the historical significance, economic development, rural aesthetic and future vision of the Gawler Township.

The importance of the artwork is to enrich many of the quintessential qualities of Gawler which are defined through the unique nature of its topography, panoramic views and pastoral land uses that separate the town physically and culturally from the northern suburbs of Adelaide.
The project is two sculptures located on either side of Main North Road between Tiver Road and the Gawler Bypass. Each sculpture consists of twenty-five elements made of weathering steel to reflect the colours of the Australian inland.

During installation the elements will be positioned along a wavering landscaped mound that stretches out over one hundred metres which will create a visual illusion that the sculptures move when you drive past.

Denise Schumann – chairman brian thom’s introduction of her 2/5/2019
“i have had the pleasure of working with denise schumann oam for over 8 years;
Especially over the last 4 years being a member of the gawler heritage collection committee; with denise being present at most of the monthly meetings.

Our committee has made every effort to encourage town of gawler council to continually engage denise for her advise on many aspects of the fine-tuning needed in the planning to achieve the transformation of the gawler institute and gawler town hall into the new gawler civic centre.

Whether it be input regarding levels of airconditoning, appropriate lighting, wall colours, the placement of piping, shelving or cabinets, denise’s determination and input has been consistantly impressive; soas to create many positive outcomes.

Obviously her experience gained from her involvement during the restoration of the norwood, payneham and st peters council building has had a positive benefit for gawler.

Then we see her expertise in the necessary scanning, recording, display design and storing arrangements of the thousands of gawler’s historic artifacts, followed by her selection of same to create the “into the light” exhibition now to be seen within the old council chambers.
Wow!!! A magnificent display has been created.
Thank you denise for your concern, experience and enthusiasm to always seek the best and most artistically correct outcome, so that we all can be extremely proud of the final designs incorporated within gawler civic centre.”

gawlerhistory.com launch 2nd may 2019 - TRANSCRIPT OF OPENING SPEECH

Ladies and gentlemen, over the last 8 years, the Gawler History Team Inc. has significantly benefited by the expertise and vision of Dr Darren Peacock, who assisted us to create our first website gawler.nowandthen.net.au

We acknowledge Darren’s passion for towns like Gawler to showcase its photographic history and articles for the world to see.

We are thrilled that we now have over 21,000 such items available on the website template that Darren Peacock created for us to use. The time had come, however, for the website layout to be modernized so that current technology is effectively embraced; especially when people are using their mobile phones to a much greater extent. Accordingly, the decision was made to create a new website to accommodate that need for clarity and simplicity, and a website that we are able to be in complete control of; especially when cyber gremlins invade periodically to cause problems.

The challenge to create the new website was taken up and I acknowledge the expertise of David Ward, Tim Kipling and Raff Stomaci who took on the role to create gawlerhistory.com

With the assistance of Paul Barnet and Ian McDonnell and other Gawler History Team members, I believe that the end result truly satisfys the objectives we set.

Before I ask Mayor Redman to officially launch gawlerhistory.com I ask Darren Peacock to address us, CEO of the Town of Gawler Henry Inat to address us and then Raff Stomanci to give us an insight into the technological problems faced by David, Tim and Raff.

Please welcome Dr. Darren Peacock, the creator of NowandThen.

It gives me great pleasure to invite the CEO of the Town of Gawler Henry Inat to say a few words.

I now ask Raff Stomaci to address us on the challenges the technical team faced.

It gives me great pleasure to invite Mayor Karen Redman to officially launch gawlerhistory.com

Lillian passed away at age 92 years on 16th April 2019.

She married Robert Lethbridge Bartlett who was Councillor for the Town of Gawler Evanston Ward
in 1882 – 1984, and Turner Ward from 1985 – 1987. He was a Gawler Alderman 1987 – 1989 and
held the Gawler Mayor 1989 to 1993.

Lillian became Councillor for Turner Ward 1995 – 2000 and became an Area Councillor 2000 – 2010.
She was a feisty Councillor, with many opinions, and possessing great determination on Council. She
and Cr Warren Dibben pushed hard to have a lift installed in the Institute, and, once achieved,
Council named the lift after her.

Brian Thom remembers the time when Council was placed in the position of deciding whether to
take over from a private contractor the total running of what is now the Gawler Sport and
Recreation Centre. In the debate, Lillian said “My late Husband Robert would turn over in his grave if
that went ahead.” Needless to say that when the vote was taken, in a very close vote, Lillian voted
for Council to take it over. We Councillors were somewhat perplexed.

Town of Gawler Mayor Karen Redman's address on Monday, 8th April 2019

"A warm welcome to you all for this official launch of our inaugural cultural exhibition, aptly named: “Into the Light”.
Many of you have travelled long distances tonight so thank you for joining us.Thank you Uncle Mickey O’Brien for such a magnificent welcome to country

When we are asked we must do: We do this together .

It is my privilege to acknowledge this land that we meet on tonight is the traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the greater Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.

In May 2015 the Town of Gawler secured Federal Government funding of 5.6 million dollars to transform the State Heritage listed Gawler Institute and Town Hall buildings into this dynamic, twenty-first century Civic Centre. This was indeed a watershed moment with a phone call from Senator Sean Edwards bringing us the good news that we had secured the money. It needs to be remembered however that our new Civic Centre and at its very core, the Gawler Heritage Collection, is the culmination of many years of planning and a great deal of hard work.

As we gather tonight in April 2019, it’s important to reflect just for a moment on the long and arduous journey that commenced in 1857 when the Institute was formed. A simple meeting of business and community minded people occurred in James Martin’s living room, just up the road a bit, here in Murray Street. Without the people who became the Institute committee, I don't believe we would be here tonight and we may not have the cultural heritage that we see around us. The value of Institutes to local communities and their contribution to the development of South Australia should not be underestimated. Tonight I’d like to focus on our cultural heritage and its importance to Gawler, our region and the State.

The history of Gawler and the stories associated with the Gawler Heritage Collection, some of which are showcased as part of ‘Into the Light’, are of state, national and international significance with regard to the arts and natural sciences. The beautiful room where we will take light refreshments tonight is what we now call the James Martin room, in recognition of the immense contribution of this great man. You may not be aware, but this room is also the site of the first public museum in South Australia.

The German scientists, who were escaping a war in Prussia, were encouraged to come to South Australia by George Angus, and some settled in Buchfelde, near Gawler in 1849. Two of these political refugees, Richard Schomburgk and Marianne Von Kroesler, were involved in that first museum; they were world-renowned in their respective fields and, with their contemporaries, proved to be important figures in South Australia at the time. I mention this snapshot of history because one, our little known German history is in fact significant but, it also contributes to the importance of cultural heritage in our region.

Moving on to 2019: A brief word about our new Civic Centre: This new centre, with its first class facilities, comprises so many spaces including a new library, youth space, performance spaces, business innovation hub and conference centre, Council chamber, social enterprise café and public meeting rooms.
As well as, and some may say most importantly, a very impressive cultural heritage centre comprising:
Cultural Heritage Research Centre
Heritage Archives facility
Heritage Gallery, the venue for our inaugural exhibition, which until recently was our Council chamber.
And of course, the refurbished, culturally significant Gawler Institute Reading Room with its original anteroom that held the subscription library.

As a central part of the Civic Centre redevelopment, the Town of Gawler recognised the importance of Gawler’s unique cultural heritage assets to both the community and the State and allocated space and resources for the long-term preservation and exhibition of the Gawler Heritage Collection. The impressive collection of Andrew MacCormac portraits in the James Martin room is just a taste of what we have. As a dedicated exhibition area, the Heritage Gallery allows us to celebrate the Gawler Heritage Collection and our unique history as well as host touring exhibitions. This new space will showcase intelligent and perceptive depictions of Gawler’s past, telling stories that inspire, educate and bridge the cultural divide. We have created a place of learning, scholarship and understanding.
It is an exciting time for us... As we are now the centre of cultural heritage in our region.
The key to this new brand is the Gawler Heritage Collection. There is now strong evidence that cultural heritage is a significant economic driver for communities who are willing to invest. Our Council is now a leader and innovator in this space.

The members of the Gawler Institute committee knew the significance of cultural heritage and safeguarded it for over 100 years. Yesterday I spoke about how the collection and the Institute building came to be under Council ownership and care. It was a difficult time and process.
I am pleased to say tonight that the Gawler Heritage Collection is undergoing a renaissance and so are we.

What sparked this new beginning resulting in our new Civic Centre? Like all major projects there are a lot of contributors but three events I think are worth mentioning:
Firstly, Manager of Library at the time, Helen Hennessy who is with us tonight, sought out a consultant to advise on the collection and it’s future. There had been previous consultants’ reports, most notably, the Crush report that I suspect overwhelmed the Administration and Council at the time. In 2013 Helen engaged Denise Schumann OAM. Denise proceeded to explore, review, and start to understand this extensive collection. hat Denise produced were two documents:
The Gawler Cultural Heritage Collection Management Plan and,
The Gawler Cultural Heritage Collection Action Plan; both of which Council went on to endorse.

Denise then engaged with the senior leadership of the Administration and importantly, the elected member body. A workshop and tour of the collection and buildings opened our eyes to the issues at hand and started a journey that has led us here to our beautiful Civic Centre tonight.

Secondly, Council agreed to formulate a grant application to seek monetary support. This involved reaching out to both local and interstate Councils who had achieved similar visionary projects. Much research, planning and contributions went into the final documentation.

Thirdly, a critical part of this journey grew from a recommendation in the action plan that Council form a committee to advise on the collection and our cultural heritage and to ensure that the Action Plan was implemented. Fortunately Council agreed with this recommendation and this committee was formed in August 2015. Tonight I wish to formally recognise the Gawler Cultural Heritage Committee. The committee, many of whom, in fact I think everyone is here tonight, have been so influential in the success of both the civic centre project, the renaissance of the collection and importantly, this exhibition. With your wisdom, tenacity, advice to Council and your preparedness to lobby and at times, corral people to invest in our heritage I’m not sure we would have achieved what we have. Thank you so much for your contribution: Adrian Shackley, Brian Thom, Paul Barnet ( direct descendant of Mr William Barnet first editor of the Bunyip printing press), Helen Hennessy, Paul Koch, Chair Judy Ferguson and now the new committee members, Cr Di Fraser and Cr Cody Davies.

Thank you to the administration, Henry Inat CEO who has been unwavering in his support, and staff who have come on board to drive this new centre and work with both the committee and Elected Members: David Barrett, Sam Irrgang, Jacinta Wiess, and Petra Brown

Finally, this event and this journey would not be complete without acknowledgement to the person who inspired us, challenged us, drove us, continually reminded us of why this needed to happen, and why history, it’s preservation but most importantly its celebration, needed to be centre stage - Denise Schumann OAM

I received a call last night from someone who wanted people to know just how many hours Denise has put into this project and this exhibition. It is important to stress that Denise was in charge of design for all the Cultural Heritage areas.John Schumann OAM wants everyone to know how amazing Denise is and even though he could not be here, he knows tonight will be a wonderful success. Thank you John

It’s an exciting time for Gawler and for cultural heritage in our region.

As you wisely said Paul Barnet: "Our History is our future".

Thank you, Kind regards,

Karen Redman

Mayor- Town of Gawler
