J. C. Hansen,
WHO died on May 16, 1885, at Jardelund, in Schleswig-Holstein, was born at Osterby, in the same Duchy, in 1815, and arrived in South Australia about the year 1848. He was for several years engaged in the work of tuition, but ultimately removed to Unley, where he was known as a musical instructor of some note. He was a highly cultured man, and particularly excelled in the more abstruse departments of geometry, algebra, and fluxional analysis. He left this colony for his native land in 1877, but there are many of his old friends yet living who greatly respected him, not only for his talents, but for his sterling worth.
