  • 6 Sep 1912: Obituary. THE LATE WILLIAM STUTT.
    The death of William Stutt, who passed away on Thursday, August 29, at his residence, "Tullamore," Doncaster tor, at the ripe old age of 91 years, removes one of Victoria's oldest citizens, an ex-member of parliament, a patriarch among hotelkeepers, a resident of Box Hill and Doncaster districts for many years, and a man who in his varied walks of life had proved himself to be large hearted, generous and broad-minded—in short a white man in the truest meaning of the term. William Stutt first saw the light in 1821 at Florence Court, near Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland. At a comparatively early age he quitted the parental roof and served three years in the Royal Irish constabulary, resigning to emigrate with his family to Canada.
    After nine years in Canada William Stutt and a brother moved on to Australia landing in Victoria on August 15, 1853. After trying their luck at the Mclvor diggings with indifferent success, they opened a produce store in Melbourne. Here the brother died, however, and William relinquished the store and took on dairy farming at Indented Heads, near St. Leonard's where he was subsequently appointed agent for a line of steamers trading with Melbourne. Later on he sold his dairy herd and went in for wheat buying, wheat being the chief product of that district. It was at the Indented Heads Mr. Stutt secured his first experience of municipal work; he was elected to the local road board, and during his term of office he assisted in purchased the City buffet hotel and restaurant in Bourke street, Melbourne, which then stood on the site of the present Bijou theatre, where he remained for five years. Then he sold out and bought an interest in a brewery at Williamstown and speculated in mining, but he lost money in both ventures, and he re-entered the licensed victualling business. He first took over an hotel in Latrobe street, and eventually he opened Stutt's family hotel at the corner of Bourke and Russell streets. Whilst in the City Buffet Mr. Stutt was elected a member of parliament for South Grant. There were then three seats for this constituency, and his colleagues were the late Peter Lalor (of Eureka Stokade fame, afterwards Speaker of the house), and the late J. R. Hopkins. At the next general election Mr Stutt was returned to parliament, and he took a prominent part with other members of the liberal party in the movement for unlocking the land. He also passed through many stirring scenes, his house being the rendezvous for liberal caucuses and ministries have been made and unmade there. After serving with distinction in two parliaments Mr. Stutt stood for Barwon, South Grant having been divided, but he was defeated by Mr. Levien. Mr. Stutt then retired from the hotel and tried mining speculation again, with indifferent success, and eventually he returned to the hotel business, and remained there until the land boom, when, he shared the common fate and lost heavily in real estate speculations. In 1890 he sold the hotel and finding the Doncaster hotel on his hands he moved out and remained there until a few years ago, when he retired altogether from business and lived privately at his residence in the same district. During his residence in Doncaster Mr. Stutt had associated himself generously with all movements for the advancement of the district; for several years he was a member of the Doncaster shire council, and he occupied the presidential chair with marked ability and success ??? of active life had
    ??? appreciable ex ???? advanced age he ??? his activity, ??? call of the last trump, and he passed to the Great Beyond with the philosophical calm and quiet fortitude which had characterised his long and
    useful career. Mr. Stutt leaves a widow and family of one son and one daughter, for whom state-wide condolence is felt. The remains were interred privately in the Box Hill cemetery on Saturday morning.7

  • 24 Jan 1917: Mr Dickie, who has been with Mr Waxmann, at Beaconsfield Upper, for some time, visited Dandenong on Saturday and purchased a horse for work on his new block above Officer. When returning the horse became unmanageable, and Mr Dickie, in putting forward all his efforts to hold the animal, was injured internally. Dr Griffith, who was sent for, ordered his removal to the hospital, and he was taken to Melbourne by Mr McBride, in his motor car. An operation has since been performed, which his friends will be pleased to hear was satisfactory and Mr Dickie hopes to be about again shortly. , Louis Waxman13
