Notes - The late Mr W. T. S. Hewison, whose death was reported in these columns last week, was born in Scotland and came to South Australia in the sailing ship "Rupert" about forty-seven years ago. On arriving at Port Adelaide, he immediately proceeded ot Streaky Bay where he was engaged by Mr J. M. Linklater, of Kirkala Station, to whom he was related. Some little time later he was appointed overseer at Kirkala, and when the property was sold to Messrs W. H. Simms and Colley, he was appointed manager, Mr Colley removing to Adelaide. When Kirkala was cut up for closer settlement purposes, Mr Hewison removed to Carina, where he managed a property for Mr Colley. He remained in this position some time, relinquishing it to accept the p position of clerk of the Streaky Bay district council which had been in existence for a few years only at that time. Mr Hewison conducted the affairs of the district council with marked ability for a number of years, but resigned the position to accept a offer as manager at Nullabor Station for Mr T. Browne. Later he tried his fortunes in Western Australia, returning after a few years to live with his daughter, Mrs John Mudge, of Chandada. But he only remained there for two or three y years before going to Adelaide to reside with another daughter. Ill-health and old age began to tell on his vitality and just before Christmas, Mr Hewison again returned to Streaky Bay, finally going to Chandada where he spent his last days. The deceased gentleman married about forty-four years ago, Alice Maud, daughter of the late Mr James Turner, of Semaphore, who predeceased him thirty years ago. There was a family of three sons and four daughters, of whom three survive: viz., James Hewison, who is employed in Ireland in the cable service; Mrs John Mudge, of Chandada; and Mrs T. Wilson, of Barmera.
