MR. W. T. CADELL.
Mr. William T. Cadell, of Deepwater Station, who died recently, was probably the best-known man in New England. Mr. Cadell was a descendant of a long line of active and enterprising Scottish ancestors. In 1839, one of the clan, John James Cadell, a graduate in medicine of the Edinburgh. University, emigrated to Australia, married at Windsor, on the Hawkesbury, and settled at Raymond Terrace, where the late William T. Cadell was born on July 15, 1845. After a successful medical career Dr. Cadell entered on pastoral pursuits at Dungowan Station, near Tamworth. Here his son joined him at the age of 16, and received the foundation of that practical knowledge of horses, cattle, and sheep which so distinguished him in later years. He continued at Dungowan for 14 years, marrying while there the eldest daughter of the Hon. J. H. Macansh. The young couple determined to set out for themselves, and in 1875 journeyed north from the old home, eventually settling at Deepwater Station. At this period fences were unknown, and 11 shepherds had charge of the 13,500 sheep which formed his flock. From the day of his entry on the station Mr. Cadell's ambition was to breed and to own only the very best and finest sheep and cattle, and in the main he was singularly successful. Deepwater cattle, sheep, and wool commanded the highest prices. They frequently topped the markets for weight, quality, and price. Apart from the work of the station Mr. Cadell had one abiding 'hobby,' and that was to foster the agricultural shows of the district. He was called by a writer in the "Stock and Station Journal" the "father of New England shows." His enthusiasm was well shown last year when he opened the Glen Innes show from his car, being unable to get about owing to ill-health.
