Mathieson Jacoby
Mathieson Harry Jacoby (1 July 1869 – 3 April 1915) was an Australian politician who twice represented the seat of Swan in the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia, from 1901 to 1905 and then again from 1908 to 1911. He was Speaker of the Legislative Assembly from 1904 to 1905. Outside of politics, Jacoby was a noted viticulturist, one of the pioneers of the West Australian wine industry.
==Early life and business career==
Jacoby was born in Adelaide to Hannah (née Mathieson) and Daniel Jacoby.〔Black, David, and Bolton, Geoffrey (1990). ''(Biographical Register of Members of the Parliament of Western Australia: Volume One (1870–1930) )'', p. 105.〕 The Jacoby family moved from to Western Australia in 1891, and Mathieson Jacoby (who had worked for the Telegraph Department in South Australia) initially gained work in Perth as an agent for Adelaide firms. In 1893, assisted by their father, he and his two brothers (Frederick and Ted) bought a vineyard in the Perth Hills, abutting the Smiths Mill Line of the Eastern Railway.〔Jenny Mills (2012). ("Weir Valley Farm, Mundaring, Western Australia: land in transition" ), in Brett J. Stubbs (ed.), ''Proceedings of the Eighth National Conference on Australian Forest History'', p. 5〕 After talking with the Aboriginal inhabitants of the area, Jacoby decided to adopt "Mundaring", an approximation of their name for the area, as the name of the property, which was subsequently extended to the nearby railway siding and eventually to the surrounding locality.〔("Origin of Mundaring." ) – ''The West Australian'', 30 September 1937.〕 In December 1897, the vineyard was incorporated as a limited liability company – the Mundaring Vineyard Company. Jacoby was made managing director, despite having lost his left eye in a blasting accident earlier in the year. He already had poor sight in his other eye, which had been struck by a stockwhip when he was thirteen.〔Geoffrey Dell, ("MR SPEAKER!" ) – ''The West Australian'', 6 August 1904.〕 One of the nurses at the hospital where Jacoby recovered after his accident was Mary Cresswell.〔("PEEPS AT PEOPLE." ) – ''The Sunday Times'', 1 January 1905.〕 The two married in January 1899, and had three sons and a daughter together.〔
