Mr. Bartsch was a surveyor in his younger days, and was with the famous Goyder party when the district round Mount Remarkable was surveyed. On a recent visit of his daughters to the scene, the remains of the flagmast planted on the mountain top were seen. Mr. Bartsch was also with Goyder's party when the well-known Goyder's line of rainfall was defined. After his marriage, Mr. Bartsch became a school teacher, and while in the employ of the Education Department lived in many country towns. Mr. Bartsch, who died in Lameroo about seven years ago, was well known and respected, both as a teacher and a musician. When the young couple returned to Clare to live he was prominent in the orchestra of that town. As a violinist he also played in the Theatre Royal Orchestra. They lived in Clare, Kapunda, Neil's Flat, Peep Hill, and Lameroo in turn.
