McLAREN VALE, October 10. —The
death of Mr. Daniel Wickham, in his 85th
year, has removed another of the pioneers
of settlement in South Australia, and a
gentleman who was widely known and re
spected in this district. It is 75 years since
Mr. Wickham arrived with his parents at
Holdfast Bay in the ship Africaine. After
some years' residence at Adelaide and the
Reedbeds the deceased's father (Mr. Ben
jamin Wickham) removed with his family
to the McLaren Vale district, where he
engaged in sheepfarming. Mr. Benjamin

Wickham attained the remarkable age of
104 years, and died in 1875, when his son
carried on the sheep run. Mr. Daniel Wick
ham heard Governor Hindmarsh read the
proclamation, of the province at Glenelg,
and was acquainted with Colonel Light and
John McDouall Stuart. He had also had
the singular experience of having shaken
hands with every Governor of South Aus  
tralia from Captain Hindmarsh down to
Sir Day Bosanquet, whom he met at    
Glenelg last December. He left a widow
and family of nine children, and there are
a large number of grandchildren.
