Arthur Edward Gliddon
DIED at Silverton in May, 1885. He was for many years associated with the town of Laura, and instrumental in advancing its interests. The Laura Institute, one of the finest in the Northern Areas, was the work of his untiring labours, and the Great Northern Racing Club also developed under his energy as secretary. He took an active part in promoting the railway to Laura, and in the formation of the local Rifle Corps, of which he was captain.
