Biography

Obituary 5 Sep 1881 A SAD OCCURRENCE.—A painful sensation was caused in the city shortly before noon to-day by the report that Mr. Thelissima Aubert, a well known and highly respected old colonist, had committed suicide. .... Mr. Aubert was over 60 years of age, and had spent forty years in South Australia. On arriving in the colony he settled near Salisbury, on the River Para, as a farmer, and remained there for many years. Relinquishing farming he joined Mr. H. Noltenius in the business of a wine and spirit merchant, in Grenfell-street, and the firm was well known as that of H. Noltenius & Co. Since its dissolution during the last year or so he has not been engaged in business beyond vinegrowing, but has lived at Hackney. During the last few days it has been remarked that he was much depressed—a fact especially noticeable, as he was generally of a very genial jovial disposition. Mr. Noltenius last saw him alive and conscious on Saturday, when he seemed to be in his usual health and spirits. It is somewhat singular that Mr. Aubert was mentioned in last Friday's issues of the Register and Journal as one of "A Quintette of Pioneers" who met casually in one of the city hotels early last week, and of whom it was remarked that "seldom would an equal number be thrown ? together whose term of colonial residence would exceed that of those present. On going into the matter it was found that among them they could count up over 216 years of South Australian life. The old colonists were—Messrs. E. M. Bagot, John Haimes, A. G. Burt, H. Mdseley, and T. Aubert."^[1]
