LATE MRS E. R. DADDOW.
The death of Mrs Eliza Roberts Daddow, relict of the late Mr S. Daddow of Wallaroo Mines, removes another of the very few remaining pioneers. The late Mrs Daddow, who attained the age of 89 years, was born in Key Parish, Truro, Corwall, in December 1836, and left England with her parents, Mr and Mrs Williams, for Australia in 1853, in the ship Undaunted, the voyage to Melbourne taking 133 days. The family went to the Ballarat gold diggings, to join a brother already there. It was here where Miss Williams met and married Mr Samuel Daddow, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Knight in November 1865, in the Neal St. Manse, Ballarat. Mr Daddow predeceased his wife at Wallaroo Mines in 1888. In 1870 Mr and Mrs Daddow left the diggings for Adelaide in the ship Claude Hamilton, and from there took vessel (s.s. Kangaroo) to Wallaroo, Mr Daddow finding employment at the Wallaroo Mines, near Kadina, where Mrs Daddow resided till her death, on August 20, 1926. The deceased, who was widely known and highly respected and esteemed by a large circle of friends, was an ardent supporter of the Methodist church. During the war period she was splendidly active as a leading member of the local Red Cross branch, and did much appreciated work. She was also one of the leaders in connection with the annual Old Folks At Home function, being one of the foundation members of the movement. A a member of the Wallaroo Mines Ladies' Guild, her services were also greatly appreciated. A staunch and sturdy pioneer, she will be much missed. She leaves three children, Mrs E. J. Paterson (Newtown, Kadina), John Daddow (Wallaroo Mines), and Samuel Daddow, of the Anglo-Persian Oil Co. (Persia). There are thirteen grandchildren and twenty-eight great grandchildren.
