"An old Colonist and respected resident of the district died at Great Western in the person of Mr. Isaac Brudenall, at the extreme age of 92 years. The sad event occurred yesterday morning. He had lived at the wine village for the past seventeen years. Seven members of his family survive him, including Mrs. John Patching and Miss Ellen Brudenall, of Great Western. The remains of the Deceased are to be removed to Yarra Glen today for interment in the cemetery there where he will be buried alongside his wife Sarah.
Isaac Henry Brudenell landed in Sydney at the age of 12-15 years of age. For a time he worked as a butcher's delivery boy delivering meat on horseback. Isaac married Sarah Moysey, their children being Elizabeth, Isaac, John, Harriet Ann, William, Sarah, Ellen, Thomas, Elizabeth and Betsy Selina. Isaac and Sarah were among the early pioneers of the district, and although the date of their arrival in the district is unknown, evidence shows that the family were living on the mount in 1865 as Elizabeth was one of the first children to attend the school which opened in that year.
Isaac worked with his bullock team on the sawmills, then later as a carrier from Geelong to Horsham, the trip taking three weeks, as at this time the railway line did not go past Ararat.
Issac Brudenell died at Ararat in Western Victoria at the age of 92 years."

Alan Pryce-Jones, a London-born book critic, author and journalist who was editor of The Times Literary Supplement, the prestigious British weekly, for a decade, died on Jan. 22 in Galveston, Tex. He was 91 and lived in Newport, R.I.

Mr. Pryce-Jones was viewed in the literary world with a mixture of respect and good humor, the latter sometimes bordering on ribbing. He was not only an eminent man of letters but also a very social being, fond of tarrying with old friends and making new ones, some with exalted status. In 1953 an article in The New York Times Magazine called him one of the articulate writers whose company Princess Margaret enjoyed.

In a 1972 essay Mr. Pryce-Jones wrote: ''Things might have been very different for me were I not a natural enjoyer. In this I am unlike most of my contemporaries who have made a name for themselves.''

Mr. Pryce-Jones was well known in the United States as well as Britain. Though he remained a British subject, he moved to New York in 1960 and later to Newport. In addition to his tenure at The Times Literary Supplement, where he was editor from 1948 to 1959, he was a book critic for The New York Herald Tribune, The World Journal Tribune and Newsday and a theater critic for Theater Arts. He also wrote reviews and essays for The New York Times Book Review.

Mr. Pryce-Jones, whose autobiography, ''The Bonus of Laughter,'' was published in 1987, knew most of the leading literary figures of his day. He once wrote wryly, ''I have attained, if any standing, that of a patriarch to whom strangers write asking if I have letters from E. Waugh or if I have ever met the Sitwells.''

His parents were Col. Henry Pryce-Jones, a highly placed British Army staff officer in World War I, and the former Vere Dawnay, granddaughter of a viscount.

Mr. Pryce-Jones graduated from Eton, where one of his teachers wrote, ''Keeping Pryce-Jones up to the mark is like breaking a butterfly on the wheel.'' After attending Oxford he was an assistant editor of The London Mercury, another literary publication, from 1928 to 1932.

In the 1930's he also wrote several books. His travel book about the Middle East, ''The Spring Journey'' (1931), won praise from critics. Some other works fared less well.

During World War II he was in British Army intelligence and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

He married Therese Fould-Springer, daughter of Baron Eugene Fould-Springer, in 1934. She died in 1953. He married Mary Jean Kempner Thorne in 1968. She died in 1969.

He is survived by a son, David Pryce-Jones of London and a stepson, Daniel K. Thorne of Galveston, Tex.

BRADDOCK - on the 8th May 1926 at her son-in-law's (Dr C Chewings) residence, Annie BRADDOCK in her eightieth year.

"The late Mrs E.T. (Annie) Braddock, who died at her son-in-law's residence, Glen Osmond, on Saturday, was well known in the far North in the 'sixties. She was the thirteenth child of Mr Cox, Contractor and builder of the old Supreme Court and many other buildings in Adelaide. She married Edward Thompson Braddock. second son of the late Dr John Braddock in 1864, and her wedding trip was by train to Burra and thence by the old style mail coach to Hookina, where her husband was in business. Later the family and business found themselves at Blinman. The Blinman Mine was then in full swing, and while Mr Braddock prospered in trade, Mrs Braddock gratuitiously assisted Dr Powell in his work. In those days there were no trained nurses in the bush, but the Dr discovered that Mrs Braddock was quite capable as such, and for years her services were greatly in demand at Blinman and Sliding Rock, to which latter place the family moved.

When the Sliding Rock Mine shut down, through a strike, the Braddock family journeyed to Farina, where the husband died. Mrs Braddock carried on the business, but eventually sold it, and moved to Marree (then called Hergott Springs). Her "farthest north" was a trip to Cowrie Station, on the Diamentina River, when the late Mr August Helling owned it.

Mrs Braddock was of vivacious and cheery temperament, always a voracious reader, and entertaining conversationalist, and a good hostess - qualities that endeared her to a large circle of friends in the lonely bush. She was a good horsewoman, and sometimes took a ride on camels. In fact, her great popularity largely lay in her capacity to adapt herself to all manner of persons and varying conditions as they came along, but probably for her sympathetic nursing and caring for the sick will her memory be treasured the most.

She had a happy but strenuous long life and passed away in her eightieth year. Three daughters - Mrs John Bannigan, of Unley; Mrs C. Chewings of Glen Osmond; and Mrs F.C. Siekmann of Kensington Gardens and one son Alfred Braddock of New Zealand, as well as several grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren survive."

He also erected the Colonel Light Monument.
