Mr. Joel Badman, whose death occurred at Prospect road, Prospect, on July 17, was popular in city business circles. He was of a retiring disposition, and had never attempted to enter public life. Mr. Badman during the past 18 months had suffered from heart disease. He was born at Unley in 1853, and his father and the late Mr. Archibald Badman farmed for many years on the section which is now the pretty suburb of Unley Park. Mr. Joel Badman was connected with farming pursuits all his life. His first venture on his own account in agriculture was at Two Wells, where, as a young man, he purchased a farm. He remained there until about 14 years ago, when he went into the stock business with his son, under the style of J. & G. W. Badman. About six years ago the firm extended its business activities by opening and working the X. L. quarries and later Mr. Badman became Chairman of directors of Quarries, Limited. He was successful in all his ventures. He was a progressive man, and one of the first farmers in this State to use fertilizers by means of drills. He married in 1883 Miss Adelaide Whiting, of Two Wells, who survives, together with one son, Mr. G. W. Badman, of Park terrace, and two daughters, Mrs. V. Gameau, of Woodville and Mrs. F. Newson, of Prospect.
