Pen Pictures of Peak Hill's Trusted Townsman
A man of recognised principle, he speaks plainly and backs his words with actions. He knows mining well, fears no authority, and invests in mining ventures, yet avoids horse racing and farming shows. He preaches sermons, travels for The Master, opposes Sabbath games, leads without ostentation, and earns broad public trust as a capable chairman and potential mayor. He is a captain, a capable rifle shot, and a loyal Australian defender, likely to become J.P. soon.
