Birth:17 June 18563629 -- Westbrook Farm, Mount Barker, South Australia, Australia Death:7 November 1926 (Age 70) -- Marion Street, Unley, South Australia, Australia
Note: Arthur was educated by tutor at home at Mt. Barker, then at the Hahndorf Academy. His first employment (clerical) at the acre of 15 in 1872 was at Dunn's Mill Bridgewater (now a fashionable restaurant). From there the firm transferred him to Wolseley in the south east. By 1894 he was manager at Murray Bridge for the same firm. By 1898 the much enlarged family was at Queens Street, Norwood with his mother-in-law who had remarried Joseph Gillard. By this time Arthur had left the employment with Dunn's Mills and joined his brother Oscar at his drapery and manchester business at Rundle Street, Adelaide. Arthur daily rode a bicycle from Norwood and later from Paradise to the business, sitting stiffly upright and dressed in formal frock coat and top hat as his daughters recalled with amusement.
In 1903 he purchased a large property at Paradise to extend his love of gardening. The partnership with Oscar lasted from 1898 to approximately 1906 when the business folded. Oscar removed to Sydney. Arthur applied for, and was successful in obtaining the position of Town Clerk at Bordertown in the south east where he boarded at a local hotel until accommodation was found for his family. As has been already told in his sister Marion Lakeman's account he sold the Paradise property and moved his family to Bordertown at Christmas 1909.
Arthur retired from Bordertown to Marion Street, Unley, taking over this house from his son Allister and died there in 1926.
