Notes (points of interest etc.)

The Chronicle, 8/2/1902.

An old resident of Prospect, Mr. Richard Hart passed away last week. Born in

Gloucestershire 78 years ago, he started for Victoria at an early age. His stay in that state was

very short, and he travelled overland to South Australia. Taking up land at Prospect, he, with

the exception of a few months spent on the Victorian goldfields, resided there until his death.

He was for a number of years chairman of the district council. He is survived by a widow, three sons, one daughter and nineteen grandchildren.
