William Whitridge Roberts Whitridge (ca.1824 – 26 May 1861) was a newspaper editor in the early days of South Australia. ==History== Whitridge emigrated from England on the ''Panama'', arriving in South Australia in October 1850. A fellow passenger, with whom he was to found a lasting friendship, was John Lorenzo Young, founder in 1852 of the Adelaide Educational Institution.〔(Diana ''Adelaide's Dissenting Headmaster'' 2014; Wakefield Press, South Australia. ISBN 978 1 74305 240 2 )〕 Whitridge worked for the ''Austral Examiner'' before taking a job as editor with the South Australian Register around 1859. He was a member of the Free Rifles corps and a foundation member of the Philosophical Society and the South Australian Society of Arts. He was married and had a home "Kurltoparinga", Inman Valley (which served as the local church), then "Pine Villa", Enfield, where he died suddenly, aged 36. He had created a sufficient impression among art and literature lovers of Adelaide that a well-attended lecture was given in White's Assembly Rooms by W. Townsend for the benefit of his widow and family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「W. W. R. Whitridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
