John Huxham (politician)
John Saunders Huxham (14 May 1861 – 4 August 1949) was an accountant and a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.
==Early life==
Huxham was born in Ivybridge, Devon,〔 to parents Simon Huxham, labourer, and his wife Agnes (née Chapman).〔(Huxham, John Saunders (1861–1949) ) — Australian Dictionary of Biography. Retrieved 30 May 2015.〕 He was born Samuel John Chapman Huxham but changed his name to John Saunders Huxham later in life. Educated in London and beforehand at Ivybridge Dame School which he later described as "harsh and desolate" where punishment consisted of "confinement in a dark cellar", he left school at age 12 to become a merchant seaman which on occasions took him to Australia.〔
In 1879 he settled in Sydney, and found work as a bookseller's accountant before heading to Townsville in 1889 to work for the general merchants, Alfred Shaw & Co.. In April 1893, he transferred to Brisbane to work in Shaw's Brisbane office.〔 Huxham left Alfred Shaw & Co. to begin work with music and instrument retailers, Pollard & Co. When the firm closed he went into partnership with Alex McKenzie to form John Huxham Co., importers, and retailers of sporting and musical goods.〔
