Obituary
The death occurred at his home at Aldgate on Wednesday of Mr. Richard Gwynne, who was widely known in business circles in South Australia. Mr. Gwynne, who was a son of the late Judge Gwynne, was in his sixty-second year, and up to the time of his death was in the employ of Elder, Smith, & Co., Limited. The deceased gentleman was a fine athlete, and he distinguished himself particularly at football and cricket. At St. Peter's College, where he was educated, he was a member of both teams, and was known as a hard hitter and a long "kick". On June 16, 1880, Mr. Gwynne entered the service of Elder, Smith. & Company, and occupied a position in the land department. He was attached to that branch of the company for more than 42 years, and was highly esteemed by the company and his fellow-employes. His generous nature and his sporting activities won him great popularity. A little over a year ago Mr. Gwynne's health failed, and he was unable to attend duty. A widow, two sons, and a daughter survive him.
