    *** News Friday 10 January 1936 GLENELG RESIDENT. DIES AT 85 Relative of Dickens Mr. Henry John Cawley, whose death has occurred at his home at St. Leo- nards at the age of 85 years, was a re- lative of Charles Dickens. His grand father was a brother of the immortal novelist. Mr. Henry Cawley's uncle, the late Dr. Cawley, wished to have him trained for the medical profession, but the young man ran away to seek the open spaces of the then sparsely popu- lated north. Later he was ordained by Bishop Kennion as a deacon of the Anglican Church. He devoted himself largely to the duties incurred among the scattered stations. He and his wife were prominent figures- at each Commemoration Day banquet. The Rev. W. Hawke con ducted the burial service in the North Brighton Cemetery. Mr. Cawley was born in Angas street, Adelaide.
