Regret was expressed in Yankalilla and district at the recent death of Mr. A. E. Lucy, of Edmund avenue, Unley.

These latter were afterwards exquisitely inlaid by Mr. George Roads, the veteran carpenter of Yankalilla, then in his eighties. Mr. and Ms. Lucy left the district to reside in Unley. Mrs. Lucy is a daughter (of) the late Rev. E. K. Miller, first head master of Pulteney Grammar School, and later incumbent of Willunga.
