Dean George Henry (227) DEATH OF THE VERY REV. DR. BACKHAUS. Bendigo Advertiser (Vic. : 1855 - 1918) Friday 8 September 1882 p 2 Article DEATH OF THE VERY REV. DR. BACKHAUS. Of all those identified with the early history of Bendigo, no one was better known or held in higher respect than the Very Rev. Dean Backhaus, whose decease yesterday afternoon, at the residence of Mr. John Crowley, in Rowan-street, it is our painful duty to record this morning. With the particulars of the recent severe illness which has carried him off, our readers are already familiar. He had for a considerable time past been subject to dangerous fits, and was on one occasion attacked suddenly whilst officiating in St. Kilian’s Church, and fell senseless at the foot of the altar. The change from Sandhurst to Brighton, where he has been living for a little over twelve months, does not appear to have had the effect of benefiting his health. In fact he found the climate too cold for him, and frequently expressed a desire to return to Sandhurst. Having about ten days ago been seized with another fit which threatened his life, and having so far recovered as to permit of his removal to this city where the best days of his life have been spent, he came up only to linger a few days, and to die. There is not a soul of whatever creed or class to whom he was known, and his circle of friends and acquaintances was numerous indeed, who will not sincerely lament the end of this worthy ecclesiastic and pioneer of religion and civilization in this originally wild and desert locality. We join with them in their deep regrets, hardly knowing, indeed, how to pay a sufficiently befitting tribute to his memory. That he was ever foremost in good works – that he was full of kindness and charity, tending the sick poor with a woman's tenderness and a physician's skill – and that he was a most estimable, energetic, and useful citizen – are facts well known to those who are acquainted with the particulars of his career, from those early days when he first commenced his labors as a Christian clergyman on this goldfield up to the time of his departure. Subjoined will be found full particulars of his career:- Henry Backhaus was born in February, 1811, at Paderborn, one of the principal towns in Westphalia, Prussia, situated 41 miles south of Minden, on the railway from Berlin to the Rhine. He was, therefore, in his 72nd year at the time of his decease. He was of comparatively humble extraction, his father being a boot merchant, but the whole of the family seem to have been of prudent and resolute character, for they all seem to have, in their time, advanced themselves in the world. He was the eldest of a fairly numerous family, consisting of five sons and four daughters. Pioneers of Bendigo https://www.bendigohistory.com/pioneersofbendigo/ Page 3 of 96 He was educated in his native town, and, while yet a youth, he was, with a younger brother, designed for the priesthood, his parents being very pious Roman Catholics. After pursuing his studies at Paderborn, where he was remarkable for his diligence and industry, he went to Rome, where he studied at the Propaganda, and at the latter end of 1835 he was, at the age of 24, ordained as a priest. He then proceeded to Ireland, and shortly afterwards received an appointment as chaplain to a regiment of British soldiers proceeding to India. He remained there for some years,
