About CHAPMAN, Richard

RICHARD CHAPMAN, agriculturist and grazier, Point Marsden, Kingscote, Kangaroo Island, is the only son of the late Mr. William Chapman, of the same place, this gentleman having embarked for South Australia in 1836 by the sailing vessel "Rajasthan." Being under engagement with the late Major Allen, he proceeded direct to Tapley Hill, and it was not until 1855 that he settled at Antechamber Bay, on Kangaroo Island. Here he combined the industries of farming and fishing, and subsequently removed to Cape Borda to undertake the duties of lighthouse-keeper, in which connection he continued for about eighteen months. He afterwards accepted the contract for landing the English mails at Glenelg, which he retained for a similar period, and in 1863 came again to the island, taking up some sections of land on the Cygnet River from the South Australian Company, which he farmed for about two years. He then acquired some fourteen square miles under lease from the Government, at Point Marsden, and later on purchased an additional fifty-six acres, and on the combined properties carried on agricultural and grazing operations until the time of his decease in the year 1880. The subject of this memoir was born at Port Adelaide in 1849, and was associated with his father in his various enterprises until the death of the latter gentleman.

About this period the territory known as the Hundred of Menzies was under survey by the Government, and Mr. Richard Chapman took up 950 acres with right of purchase, acquiring it as his freehold some eighteen years later. He was very successful in the cultivation of this property during the earlier part of his occupation, but latterly has confined his attention to sheep-farming pursuits, and has met with excellent results. His continued prosperity has enabled him to extend his boundaries by 1,500 acres, and at the present time his landed possessions comprise about 2,500 acres of some of the best grazing land in the island. The estate carries in all about 4,000 sheep, averaging three or four to the acre over the major portion of the land. 

Mr. Chapman's homestead is most picturesquely situated, overlooking on the south the pretty "Bay of Shoals," while on the north the full sweep of the Southern Ocean is seen to great advantage. He has interested himself in public affairs generally, and served as a member of the Kingscote District Council for six years; has acted on various occasions as Treasurer for different social and other functions, and is an enthusiast in matters of sport, having held a similar office for twenty years in connection with the Racing Club. He owns and races a few horses, and has won the distinction of carrying off every trophy open to competitors at the Kingscote Races.

In 1878 Mr. Chapman married Eliza Jane, daughter of the late Mr. W. Thompson, of Point Marsden, and two sons and one daughter survive of a family of four children.

Widespread regret was expressed throughout the town and district on Sunday when it became known that another old Island pioneer and highly esteemed resident, in the person of Mr Richard Chapman, had passed away. He appeared in his usual health on Sunday morning when be was seen going aboard his motor boat, The Afric, but shortly after midday Mr S. Brittain hailed him, and gaining no response be rowed alongside The Afric, and saw Mr Chapman reclining in a peaceful position on the seat apparently dead. He reported the matter to Mr Priest and with him confirmed his suspicions that Mr Chapman was dead, and the matter was reported to Sgt. McEwen, of the local Police Station. Dr. Kane was summoned and gave his opinion that deceased had died from heart failure. The Coroner (Mr E. W. Priest), considered an inquest unnecessary. The deceased, who was 74 years of age, was the only son of the late Wm. Chapman, formerly of Point Marsden, who arrived in the State in 1836 by the ship ' Rajashtan.' ... The late Mr Richard Chapman was born at Port Adelaide in 1849, and was associated with his father in his various enterprises. When the Hd. of Menzies was under survey by the Government Mr Richard Chapman took up 950 acres, with the right of purchase, acquiring it on freehold about 18 years later. He was successful on this property, and after disposing of Point Marsden, retired and lived in Kingscote. He interested himself in all public affairs and was a great supporter of all forms of sport. He was also a member of the Kingscote Council for six years. Deceased has left a widow, two sons (Messrs R. W. and M. B. Chapman, of this district), and a daughter {Mrs F. E. Kasehagen of Shoal Bay), and 16 grandchildren. The funeral took place at the local cemetery on Tuesday morning last, when a large number of relatives and friends assembled at the graveside. The Rev.

By the death of Mr. Richard Chapman, which occurred suddenly in his motor boat, the Afric, on Sunday, the residents of Kangaroo Island have lost a well-known and highly esteemed settler. The deceased, who was 74 years of age, was the only son of the late Mr. William Chapman, of Point Marsden, who arrived in South Australia in 1838 by the sailing vessel Rajashtan. Being under engagement with the late Major Allen. Mr. William Chapman proceeded direct to Tapley's Hill, and it was not until 1855 that he settled at Antechamber Bay, on Kangaroo Island. There he combined the industries of farming and fishing, and subsequently removed to Cape Borda to undertake the duties of lighthouse keeper, in which connection he continued for about 18 months. He afterwards accepted the contract for landing the English mails at Glenelg, which he retained for a similar period, and in 1863 went again to the island, taking up sections of land on the Cygnet River from the South Australian Company, which land he farmed for about two years. He then acquired about 14 square miles under lease from the Government at Point Marsden, and later purchased an additional 56 acres, and on the combined properties carried on agricultural and grazing operations until his death in 1880. The late Mr. Richard Chapman was born at Port Adelaide in 1849, and was associated with his father in his various enterprises. When the Hundred of Menzies was under survey by the Government, Mr. Richard Chapman took up 850 acres, with the right of purchase, acquiring it as his freehold about 18 years later. He was successful in the cultivation of this property during the early part of his occupation. He ex- tended his boundaries by 1,500 acres, and eventually to 2,500 acres. After the disposal of his Point Marsden holding, Mr. Richard Chapman lived at Kingscote. He interested himself in public affairs, and served as a member of the Kingscote Council for six years. He was a great supporter of sport. The deceased has left a widow, two sons— Mr. W. R. Chapman, of North Cape, and Mr. M. B. Chapman, of Kingscote— and a daughter Mrs. Kasehagen, of Bay of Shoals (K.I.). There are also 16 grandchildren.

====================================

Mr. Richard Chapman, late of North Cape, was found dead at 2.30 p.m. on Sunday, November 25, in his motor boat, Afric, which was moored off Kingscote jetty (said a telegram from our Kingscote, Kangaroo Island, correspondent). Mr. Chapman had been seen alive at about 1 o'clock, when he appeared to be all right. Death was due to heart failure. The coroner deemed an inquest unnecessary. Deceased was well known, and was a highly respected resident of the district. Mr. Chapman had a wide circle of friends in Adelaide, as well as on the island, to whom he was familiarly known as "Dick." Although in his seventy-fourth year, he had always been hale and hearty, and took an active interest in sport. He was for many years judge at the local race meetings, and was well-known to members of Tattersalls Club, or which he was a member. A week prior to his death he judged the grain and sheaf classes at the Kangaroo Island Agricultural Show. For more than 50 years Mr. Chapman was engaged in farming, and his farm at Port Marsden was well-known to visitors. About five years ago he sold his property, and removed to Kingscote, where he made fishing and boating his hobbies. There survive a widow and three children—Mrs. F. Kasehagen, and Messrs. R. W. and M. B. Chapman, of Kingscote.

—An Old Selector.— Nobody else is better known on Kangaroo Island and few have been here longer, than Mr. Richard Chapman, of Point Marsden. He was born at Port Adelaide in 1849, and reached Kangaroo Island with his parents in 1856. For some years the family resided at Antechamber Bay- whence they removed to Point Marsden (or North Cape as it is occasionally known), where Mr. Chapman's father had taken up a pastoral lease of 14 square miles. When the hundred was cut up into blocks, Mr Chapman (since deceased) purchased 2100 acres from the Government, and secured 400 acres under lease. On these properties his tireless son has won his way to considerable prosperity. On the day of my visit to the Station. Mrs. Chapman was seriously ill, and therefore my chat with her husband was short. Still, it was sufficiently long for me to ascertain that in addition to being the "Sheep King" of the island—though he does not give himself the title— Mr. Chapman has prosecuted agricultural pursuits with remarkable ability and determination. His principal crops have been of barley and wheat; but oats have also had attention. An idea of the rich quality of some of his land, which is composed chiefly of black sand, loam, and limestone, may be gathered from the fact that prior to the introduction of the artificial manures he frequently reaped 60 bushels of barley to the acre. Over 800 acres of his freehold are cleared, and a large proportion of the remainder of the lands provides fine grazing for sheep, horses, and cattle. Of cattle Mr. Chapman possesses about 200. During recent years he has devoted increasing time and care to sheep-raising. He and his son William, who has a property adjoining own between 3,000 and 4,000 mixed merino and crossbred sheep, and last season shore 70 odd bales, 35 of which were shipped direct to London. The prices obtained were highly satisfactory. In addition to the natural advantages indicated above Point Marsden Run has a plentiful supply of first rate stock water, and is enclosed by only a mile and a half of fencing. The latter is accounted for by the geographical situation of the property, which is almost surrounded by the sea.  Mr. Chapman was a member of the Kingscote District Council for five years, and acted as judge and treasurer for the Kangaroo Island Racing Club for a quarter of a century. His perennial cheerfulness, integrity, and courtesy have gained for him hosts of friends.
