Emanuel Solomon (1800 – 3 October 1873) was a businessman and politician in the early days of the Colony of South Australia ==History== Emanuel was born in London, a son of Samuel Moss Solomon (ca.1769 – 13 May 1842) and his first wife Elizabeth née Moses (ca.1772–ca.1814). He and his brother Vaiben (1802 – 21 June 1860) were transported to Sydney and served time for larceny, arriving on 1 May 1818 aboard the ''Lady Castlereagh''〔Eric Richards, 'Solomon, Emanuel (1800–1873)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/solomon-emanuel-4623/text7613, published in hardcopy 1976, accessed online 14 September 2014.〕 He arrived in South Australia in 1837 and was one of the founders of the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation.〔 He founded the Queen's Theatre, Adelaide with brother Vaiben and occasional involvement of nephew Judah Moss Solomon (1818–1880), father of Vaiben Louis Solomon. In 1848 he and Matthew Smith purchased of land on Spencer Gulf and subdivided it as a township to be known as Port Pirie. Little development occurred on site and by the late 1860s there were only three woolsheds on the riverfront.〔Erik Eklund, ''(Mining Towns: making a living, making a life' )', New South Publishing, Sydney, 2012, p. 137〕 It was later re-surveyed and became Port Pirie's suburb Solomontown, commonly referred to as "Solly". Solomon is commemorated for the generosity he provided to Mary MacKillop. In November 1871 he gave the Sisters of St. Joseph, who had been evicted from their convent, a house rent free. In December 1871 he hosted a reception for 500 early settlers of South Australia to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the foundation of the colony.〔 An interesting list.〕 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「Emanuel Solomon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
