• Notes

  transcribed from the Queenstown Free Press by Sunelia Heath: Tuesday, July 29, 1873 Local. DEATH OF ANOTHER BRITISH SETTLER. – Mr. S. DENHAM, one of the British Settlers of 1820, has gone to his last home. He died on Saturday last, at the advanced age of eighty-two years. Unlike many of his fellow settlers, he had not, during his earlier days, amassed sufficient wealth to spend his sidelining years in ease and comfort; we believe he died in abject poverty and was buried at the expense of a benevolent gentleman residing near him, on West-hill, who was most attentive to him during his last illness. – Star.
