Note: Mr. Joseph Henry Horwood, a well known Adelaide engineer, died suddenly on Thursday, at the age of 73 years. The deceased was a native of Oldham, Lancashire and arrived in South Australia with his parents in the sailing vessel Baboo when seven years of age. His father established engineering works in Hindley street, and during the Victorian gold digging period opened a branch in Bendigo. The late Mr. Horwood was a pupil of the educational academy conducted by Mr. J.L. Young. After having learned his trade at Bendigo the deceased returned to Adelaide, and contracted for a crushing plant for the Montacute Mine - the first erected in South Australia. In 1873 he was engineer for the Moonta Mining Company. He subsequently started business on North terrace, and the concern was amalgamated with that of Francis Clark and Sons, and afterwards became the Union Engineering Company, Limited. In the early eighties Mr. Horwood took over the business of Mr. Samuel Strapps, ironfounder and engineer, of Currie street, which was subsequently removed to Franklin street. For many years he was a member of the Chamber of Manufactures and of the council of the Royal Agricultural Society. He was a member of the Adelaide City Mission and the Flinders Street Baptist Church.
