I stumbled across this article whilst doing research on Victor. I am a member of the North Adelaide Football Club History Committee and this has proved most helpful as we didn’t have a date of death.
I have a head shot of him from the 1894 team if you are interested to see it,. More than happy to share it. Let me know,
Cheers
Nick

Hi Steven I originally thought that a previous owner may have been a relative but a search proved this wrong. Then I thought that as the ‘Pioneer Cemetery’ was going to be closed soon after his death they had held on to the headstone so it could be erected in the new cemetery. Quite a lot of bodies were exhumed and moved to the new cemetery after 1904. I guess we will never know. As the headstone was lying face down I don’t think anyone would realise it over the years.

At least they didnt break it up. And where did they get it from. Perhaps a deceased estate auction?
