Personal:
Mr Louis Meincke, widely known for the last half century as railway and general carrier at Kapunda, died on Monday evening. While talking with the stationmaster on Friday evening at the railway station Mr. Meincke was stricken with illness, which proved to be a rupture of a blood vessel on the brain. He was conveyed to his home in a cab belonging to another old Kapundain, Mr. Ben Warrick, with whom over a long series of years there had been good personal and business relations. His advanced age, 79 years, told against any recovery, and he passed away quietly just three days, to the hour, after the seizure. The deceased was born at Schleswig, Germany, on October 7, 1835. He went to sea from the port of Hamburg, and arrived by sailing vessel at Port Adelaide. He joined the pilot service there and his eldest son, Mr. Fred Meincke, who has been associated with him in the carrying trade, was born on the old lightship. When the railway authorities were building the bridge over the Light to carry the railway to Kapunda Mr. Meincke was sent up as interpreter for the gangs of German workmen employed, and the result was that he settled in Kapunda as carrier for the railway. Excepting for one term as councillor for west Ward Mr. Meincke did not enter much into the public life of the town, but he was of a charitable disposition and no one ever appealed to him in vain. He was a subscribing member of the Lodge of Light for 43 years and was a past master of the lodge. His son, Mr. Julius Meincke, is at present the immediate pastmaster of the lodge. In addition to the widow there survive six children (Mrs. Evan James, Miss Edith of Kapunda, Mr. Fred of Kapunda, Mr. Julius of Kapunda, Mrs. F. Groth of Broken Hill, and Mrs. Hambly of Mile End), 27 grandchildren, and six great grandchildren.
