OBITUARY.
Mr. Johann Friedrich Baum, who died
on Thursday, at the age of 84 years, at
the residence of his son-in-law (Mr. J.
F. Hammerschmidt, Mile-End) was among
the pioneer farmers of the north, and re
tired only six years ago from active work
on his farm at Hoyleton. Born in Silesia,
he migrated to Australia in 1858, when 18
years of age. He did not want to enter
the Prussian Army, so decided to try his
luck in the more peaceful land of Austra
lia—then much talked of as a good farm
ing country. He arrived from Hamburg
in the sailing ship Sophia, and got
employment at Daveyston; near Freeling. He
later met Miss Caroline Augusta Herde at
Concordia, and the couple were married
—in 1863— at Rosenthal, by Pastor Dost.
Mixed farming was carried on amid great
difficulties, for the machinery was prlmi
tive, and stock very dear. Horses were
few and far between, and when Mr. Baum
could afford to get one he felt he was
like a millionaire. Good and bad years
of crop were experienced. Wheat had to
be carted to Auburn, and it had thence to
be carted to the city. Ploughing was done
with a pair of oxen. The sickle was used
for reaping, and the flail for threshing. The
young farmer also used to take butter
and eggs to Auburn (12 miles), and then
walk back, and also find time to put in
half a day's work. The couple later re
moved to the Gawler district, and after
four years went to Hoyleton. There they
remained for nigh half a century, with
varying fortunes, as good or indifferent
seasons were experienced. Mrs Baum
survives her husband. The couple in
October of last year celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary, an event which was
attended by the eight survivors of their
10 children, as follow:— Messrs. Frederick
William Baum (Mile-End), Hermann Fer
dinand Baum (Auburn), Alfred Richard
Baum (Hoyleton), and Edward Albert
Baum (Skilly, near Auburn); Mesdames J.
Saunders (Highgate), A. G. Neinder (Para
kee), J. A. Berghouse (Highgate), and J.
F. Hammerschmidt (Mile-End).
