Richard Bowen Colley (13 December 1819 – 28 May 1875) was the first mayor of Glenelg, South Australia. Colley was born in London and visited South Australia in the 1830s, then emigrated with his family on the ''Competitor'', arriving in October 1847. He lived for a time in North Adelaide, then moved to St. Leonards (now Glenelg North) some time before 1864, and was a regular worshipper at St. Peter's Church, Glenelg; his house was later bought by William Rounsevell, and it was there ("Tremere") that Lady Daly died. He was a member of the Volunteer Reserve, serving as a Lieutenant under H. B. Wigley. He was an agent for the European Life Assurance Society and Secretary of the Kadina and Wallaroo Railway Company. He served a City Auditor, Government liquidator, Justice of the Peace, and Returning Officer for the Assembly seat of West Torrens. He suffered ill health and with his wife returned to England on the ''Orient'' in 1876 in the hope of finding a cure, but died the following year at Park Place, Regent's Park, London. ==Recognition== *Colley Reserve, Glenelg, was named for him. *A stained glass window in St. Peter's Cathedral, Adelaide was dedicated to his memory. 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「Richard Bowen Colley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
