OBITUARY
MRS PAUL SPAETH
Mrs Paul Spaeth (nee Annie
Gunder), who was interred in the
West Terrace Cemetery, was tri-
buted for her extraordinary cour-
age by Rev. Fritsch. who minister-
ed at the service. This he coupled
with an admirable meekness of
spirit. After their marriage the
couple lived in Moppa for some
years, then they carved their way
in virgin scrub on the West Coast,
only to incur heart-breaking disap-
pointment, due mainly to poor wa-
ter supply. Leaving, they trekked
per buggy and cart to Pt Augus-
ta. where Mr. Spaeth worked on
the East-West line: then they mo-
ved to Wilmington, where they
took up land on the Pinda Plains,
They milked up to 36 cows and
reared calves, in addition to grow-
ing wheat—and saw a run of good
years. They later settled in Ade-
laide, where for a time they had
a dairy. In state of trials and ill
health, Mrs Spaeth showed tireless
industry. The family comprises
Bert, Pt. Augusta; Vera, Wilming-
ton; Ron, West Coast; Arthur, of
Wilmington; Norman, Dorrien; and
Kath., Adelaide.
