ANGAS FAMILY PAPERS PRG 175 Series List John Howard Angas ___________________________________________________________________________ ANGAS FAMILY PAPERS PRG 175 Series List John Howard Angas (1823-1904) was the second son of George Fife Angas. He arrived in South Australia in September 1843, having been appointed to manage his father's estates in the colony. He settled at Tarrawatta near Angaston where he established a successful pastoral business and built a fine homestead called Collingrove. The purchase of further land and livestock soon made him one of the largest landowners and foremost stud-breeders in the colony. In 1871 he entered Parliament as the member for Barossa later becoming a member of the Legislative Council for the Central District from 1887-94. His social, religious and philanthropic interests were also extensive and influential, and he contributed generously towards the establishment of many colonial institutions, including the University of Adelaide. He left an estate worth some £800,000.1 Susanne Collins Angas, the wife of John Howard Angas, was the daughter of Richard Collins, a corn-factor of Bowden, near Manchester. Her marriage to J.H. Angas took place in England in May 1855. She returned with her husband to live at Collingrove, but ill-health caused them to return to England for some years during which time a son and daughter were born. She died in April 1910, six years after the death of her husband.2 Charles Howard Angas (1861-1928) was the son of J.H. Angas. After being educated at St. Peter's College Adelaide, and in England, he gradually assumed responsibility for his father's vast properties and interests. He too became prominent as a stock-breeder, most notably with Lincoln sheep, while his business interests included chairmanship of the Willowie Land and Pastoral Association and the S.A. Portland Cement Company. Other interests included polo and yatching. In 1885 he married Elizabeth Etty Dean, daughter of William Dean of Adelaide, and they took up residence at Lindsay House near Angaston, formerly occupied by his grandfather (G.F. Angas). They had four children, three sons - Ronald Fife Angas, Dudley Theyer Angas and John Keith Angas (later Sir Keith Angas) – and a daughter – Dorothy Beryl Angas. Charles Howard Angas died in December 1928.3 Ronald Fife Angas (1891-1978) was educated at St. Peter's Adelaide, and Oxford University. During the First World War he served as a Lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery in France and later as a wireless instructor with the Royal Air Force. In June 1915 he married Monica Murray and they later resided at Collingrove where he carried on the family interests in stockbreeding. His business connections were indeed, extensive and included the Directorship of Elders Trustee and Executor Company and the S.A. Portland Cement Company. He also showed a strong interest in sailing and motor cars. In 1976 he moved to Adelaide and officially presented Collingrove homestead to the National Trust of South Australia.4 1 Australian Dictionary of Biography, vol. 3, p.38. 2 Kinsgley Ireland, ‘The Angas Family of “Lindsay House” and “Collingrove”, Angaston’, Barossa Historic Bulletin, vol. 1, 1978, p.7. 3 Who’s Who in Adelaide 1921-22, p.103. 4 Ireland, op. cit. p.8.

It is a record of the colourful characters and individuals who have contributed so much to the development of our City. This entertaining booklet paints a picture of a community that is proud of its past and positive about its future; a community that welcomes and embraces people whose luck in life has run out and a community that includes many, very successful businesses and individuals. The Historic South West Corner booklet is a project initiated by the South West Community Network. The Network was instigated and is supported by Adelaide City Council. The Council encourages active engagement of local communities in City life and in making decisions about their neighbourhood. A method of accomplishing this is through the development of local projects such as the production of this booklet. The booklet presents a history of the South West Corner of the City that will inspire people to think of this area as an interesting place to live, work and visit. I hope that you will enjoy reading this exciting, factual and humorous account of how the South West community of the past created a great community spirit of the present.

HOW THE BARR SMITH LIBRARY GOT ITS NAME 1980 sees the fiftieth anniversary of the laying of the founda­ tion stone of the Barr Smith Library by Mary Isobel Barr Smith on 29th September 1930. The building was a gift to the University from her husband, Tom Elder Barr Smith, intended as a monument to his father, Robert, who during his lifetime contributed large sums 6f money for the purchase of books. In its early days the income of the University was small and Council allowed only £150 for the purchase of books each year, as it was difficult to provide much more than enough to pay for period­ icals and the cost of binding; nor was money forthcoming from the public. C.W. Holgate's survey of the chief libraries of Australia published in 1886 noted that the Library of the University of 1)1: Adelaide "has but few gifts of value, and in fact very few gifts at , "' .. all". Robert Barr Smith changed this unfortunate situation when in .!;" 1892 he made the first of his donations, which were to amount to - :;.;,~~ £9000, to be expended in the purchase of books for the Library. ~:i}}~ In appreciation of his liberality, the Council resolved in 1899 that ;'1 - the Library should bear the name of its benefactor. Irij~ The example of Robert Barr Smith had a stimulating influence, and has since been followed by a number of gifts and bequests af great value.

  • The Public Library of South Australia's Oral History Project, 1903-1908 B
    THE PUBLIC LIBRARY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA'S ORAL HISTORY PROJECT, 1903-1908 B. S. Baldwin The infant Historical Society of South Australia has recently been urging the State Library to interest itself more deeply in the field of oral history. Few people realise that the Library's parent body pioneered the concept in this country. Although, in the event, only one recording was produced at this early period, the project was far sighted in the extreme and unique for its time. Wax cylinder recordings were introduced to the Adelaide public on 25 November 1890 at a demonstration in the Town Hall, when Professor Douglas Archibald, M.A.(Oxon.), lectured on Edison's invention. A message spoken by Gladstone to Lord Carrington, Governor of New South Wales, was presented, and one by Lord Balfour of Burleigh to Lord Kintore, Governor of South Australia.1 Considerable further interest in the new medium was aroused at the time of Spencer and Gillen's Ethnographic Expedition to Central Australia in 1901-02, for James Angas Johnson (grandson of George Fife Angas and a Council member and benefactor of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia, South Australian Branch) presented· the expedition with an Edison Concert Phonograph. 2 The new large cylinders (five inches in diameter) for this machine had first been placed on sale in 1898 by Edison's rivals, the American Gramophone Company, and were subsequently sold also by Edison.3 Their effective playing time was only two or three minutes, but original recordings made on them had considerably more fidelity than those on the smaller, better known type of cylinder.

Miller’s letter was just one voice in the unparalleled surge of missives newspapers around the country received from local and international readers in response to the wreck. The outpouring of sympathy and support in the wake of the disaster was unprecedented. Never before had one single event mobilised colonial communities throughout Australia. ‘The calamity was one which afflicted all. Legislation was suspended, shops were empty, crowds stood in the street day and night for a week.’3 Parliamentary members were involved in relief efforts at a bureaucratic level, while communities local and interstate organised charity events, and popular visiting and local theatre stars of the period donated proceedings from performances to the cause.
