NB conflicting ages in death notices and BDM deaths, two notices say aged 37, another 57, BDM deaths says 56 but probably misread by transcriber, the profile photo of him in 1869 does not appear to be a 41 year old.

The Bacchus Marsh Express (Vic.) Sat 28 Jan 1882
PRESENTATION TO MR. HENRY CHADWICK.
ON Saturday afternoon last, at the Courthouse,
Bacchus Marsh, a presentation was made to Mr.
Henry Chadwick, who, for the past twelve years,
has been local manager of the National Bank
and has now been promoted to the charge of the
same bank in Collingwood. About forty persons
were present, and the chair was taken by the
President of the Shire Council, Cr. Thomas Cain,
J.P., who said he was pleased to see so many
present to take part in making this presentation
to their friend, Mr. Chadwick. As the illuminated
address which was to be presented said about all
that he could say in reference to that gentleman,
he would ask Mr. Pearce, as the hon. Secretary to
the Testimonial Committee, to read the address.
Mr. T. G. Pearce accordingly read the address,
as follows:—
To Henry Chadwick, Esq., Manager of the
National Bank of Australasia at Bacchus Marsh
from December, 1869, till January, 1882. Dear
Sir,—By this address, accompanying a testimonial
subscribed for with the greatest heartiness and
unanimity by the inhabitants of Bacchus Marsh
and surrounding district, it is desired to express
to you the high honour and respect in which you
are held by the whole community of this township
and neighbourhood. During the past twelve years
you have occupied a position of great importance
and responsibility as manager of the National
Bank of Australasia here; a position which has
brought you into intimate relation with most of
the inhabitants, and we beg to assure you that
the manner in which you have discharged all
your duties has secured for you universal confidence and regard. We are happy also to remember that, as our fellow townsman, you have
always manifested an enlightened and lively interest in every movement for the promotion of the
public welfare. It was with unfeigned regret that
we recently learned of your approaching removal
from the district; but, at the same time, we offer
you our sincere and united congratulations on the
promotion you have deservedly received to the
management of the Bank in the city of Collingwood, and we assure you that our sincere good
wishes accompany you and yours to that larger
and more important sphere of duty. In name of
the inhabitants of Bacchus Marsh and neighbourhood,
Thos. CAIN, J.P. President of Shire Council of Bacchus Marsh, January, 1882.
Mr. Cains said he had much pleasure in congratulating Mr. Chadwick upon his advancement to the position of manager of the Bank in the city
of Collingwood, as it showed that his efficiency was
appreciated by the proprietors of the Bank, and
he begged to present to him, in addition to the
address, the silver tea and coffee service and salver
now on the table, and also the silver fruit knives
and spoons for Mrs. Chadwick. He hoped both
would be spared to a ripe old age to remember
their friends in Bacchus Marsh.
Mr. CHADWICK said he begged to thank Mr.
Cain, and all the gentlemen present, for their
kindness. It was very gratifying to go away,
after twelve years residence, with this valuable
and handsome present as a testimony of their
feelings towards him. On behalf of his wife, and
for himself, he thanked them very heartily, and
it would long remind them of the many friend-
ships they had made in Bacchus Marsh. In
twelve years the foibles and shortcomings of any
man would be manifested, and he could only say
that, to have been so popular among them, was a
thing he might well be proud of. It had arisen
from his keeping to the strict line of duty, irrespective of praise or blame, and this course, as it
always did sooner or later, had brought its reward. There was a popularity which he might
call spurious, where a man was popular for being
a good social fellow, with no other enemy but
himself. Such a popularity was bought at a very
great expense. At the expense of his health, and
perhaps of the interest of his famiily, and certainly of the welfare of his employers. He was
happy to feel that such popularity was not of the
kind he had attempted to secure. As regards the
National Bank, it had its early infantile troubles,
but by thorough good management it was now,
after an existence of twenty-five years, in the foremost place among financial institutions, whether
foreign or local, on this continent. The Bank's
success was largely due to the liberal manner in
which its officers had been treated. He could
testify to this after eighteen years service. He
was pleased to think that his successor in the
Bacchus Marsh branch was a gentleman not unworthy to receive the mantle which fell from his
(the speaker's) shoulders, and he asked them all
to mete out to him the same consideration they
had extended to him (the speaker), and thus add
one more to the many favours he had received at
their hands. (Applause.)
Mr. LEWIN was pleased to be present at these
proceedings testifying to the estimation in which
Mr. Chadwick was held. It did honour to him
and to the people of Bacchus Marsh, and he was
much gratified to be his successor in such a neighbourbood. (Applause.)
Cr. MEIKLE wished to remark that the subscribers
had as much pleasure in presenting the
testimonial as Mr. Chadwick had in receiving it.
Rev. Hugh MACFARLANE, as one of the ministers in the district, wished to say a single word
as testimony of how heartily he had assisted in
this movement, which had eventuated in the successful meeting of to day. He could not but view
Mr. Chadwick's departure with a feeling of sadness, although he was promoted. He had looked
upon him as a model banker. The banks were
not the least important of the influences which
held society together, and when they are managed
by a gentlemen of such integrity and unfailing
courtesy as were displayed by Mr. Chadwick, it
became any district to acknowledge such qualities, and he heard with satisfaction the success of
this movement. It gave him another reason for
feeling warm regard for and satisfaction with this
district, and its people. He gave his unfeigned
congratulations to one and all in this demonstration to Mr. Chadwick, and he wished, on behalf of
those present, to extend a very cordial welcome to
his successor. (Applause.)
Mr. W. GRANT, of the Border Mill, as Treasurer,
read a statement of the receipts and expenditure,
as follows :—Receipts, £62 3s. 6d.; expenditure,
£57; balance, £5, which he would hand to Mr.
Chadwick.
Mr. Chadwick said he wished to propose a vote
of thanks to the chairman. It afforded him great
pleasure to see Mr. Cain occupying the position,
and holding office as President of the Shire. It
enhanced very much the gratification with which
he received their present. (Applause.)
Mr. Cain thanked the company for the vote.
Rev. H. MacFarlane proposed a vote of thanks
to the Secretary and Treasurer for their labours.
(Applause.)
Mr. Grant said, as Mr. Pearce had performed
the lion's share of the work, he would allow him to
reply.
Mr. Pearce said the work had been heartily
entered into by all who took part in it, and the
collectors should have been included in the vote.
Mr. Chadwick invited the subscribers to the
Border Inn, where a number of toasts were drunk,
including the health of the President of the Shire,
and the healths of Mrs. Chadwick and family;
also of Mr. Chadwick's successor. Mutual compliments were exchanged, and Mr. Chadwick remarked that he could not but feel warmly attached to Bacchus Marsh as all his seven children
were born in the township, and he hoped it might
prosper. Mr. Lewin said he had been ???teen
years in the Bank's service, and was glad to come
to a little level country after being stationed for
some time in the mountainous region of Blackwood. The meeting shortly afterwards broke up,
and Mr. Chadwick returned to town the same
evening.
The address presented is a very handsome yet
neat piece of work, of which Messrs. Sands &
M'Dougall have reason to proud. The silver
salver is of large size, very handsomely chased,
and bears the following inscription— Presented,
to Henry Chwdwick, Esq., by the inhabitants of
Bacchus Marsh and neigbourhood, as a token
of respect and esteem on his departure, after a
residence of twelve years as manager of the National Bank of Australasia. 21st January,
1882." The other silver articles bore Mr. Chadwick's monogram.[2]
