Deceased was a native of Heligoland, then a British possession. He became a seaman, eventually gaining a master's certificate. He arrived at Melbourne, and came on to Newcastle 54 years ago, and was therefore one of Newcastle's oldest residents. He resided upwards of 30 years in the Carrington district.
