Mr. Joseph Mansom, who died recently at his residence, King William road, Hyde Park, at the age of 85, was a highly respected resident of the district, and a greatly esteemed member of the Manthorpe Memorial Congregational Church. He was born at North Adelaide, and in early life was associated with the flour milling industry at Gawler. Later he spent about 30 years at Port Pirie, and during that period was an active member of the local Congregational Church, of which for several years he was a deacon. In 1809 he settled in Hyde Park. He was an enthusiastic bowler until a few months ago, when his health became delicate. He was genial and generous in disposition, and deserving charities had his sympathy. A Freemason and an Oddfellow, he made many friends in both Orders. He leaves two sons who reside in Western Australia, and one daughter, Miss E. A. Mansom, of Hyde Park.
