Narrative

Adelaide Snell’s father was John Snell. He died on 20 March 1914, aged 80, and is buried at the Burra Cemetery (Headstone Plot 1936). He was born at Chacewater, Cornwall in 1833 and began work at the Great Consols Mine, Cornwall. He married in 1857 and soon after left with his wife in the Neptune for Australia where he came straight to Burra and worked in the Burra Mine. He spent a short time on the Victorian Goldfields. He worked for some years on the main engine at Morphett’s Shaft and was one of the contractors that put down Grave’s Shaft, considered the best piece of work on the property. When the mine closed he set up business as a jeweler and was for some years a member of the Town Council (1876-77 and 1903-06). He was connected to the Oddfellows Lodge and an earnest worker for the Bible Christian Church and later the Methodist Church. He was a local preacher and Sunday school teacher. His wife died in 1902. He was survived by 3 sons: Joseph (Broken Hill), John M (Adelaide), Fred (Pt Pirie) and 4 daughters, Annie (Burra), Mrs Adelaide Ralph (Adelaide), Mrs White (Adelaide) and Mrs Floirie (WA). Obituary dated 25 March 1914.
