Sir William John Sowden (26 April 1858 – 10 October 1943) was a journalist in South Australia, who was knighted in 1918. ==History== He was born in Castlemaine, Victoria, the son of Thomas Sowden (ca.1832 – 3 May 1888), a miner from Cornwall, and his wife Mary Ann, née Hocking. They spent some years in Kapunda, but had returned to Castlemaine by 1867, where William completed his schooling and started in the newspaper trade. They moved to Moonta in 1874, where William started work with the ''Yorke's Peninsula Advertiser'', then in 1879 he joined the ''Port Adelaide News''〔Carl Bridge, ('Sowden, Sir William John (1858–1943)' ), ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, published first in hardcopy 1990, accessed online 17 February 2015〕 (both owned by Edwin Henry Derrington, whose feuds with Ebenezer Ward were legendary) and in 1881 started working for the ''South Australian Register'', and was selected to accompany a group of parliamentarians (J. Langdon Parsons, H. E. Bright, L. L. Furner, J. H. Bagster), Professor Ralph Tate and others, to the Northern Territory on the ''Menmuir'' (Captain Ellis) as a representative of the ''Register''. On his return he was given a position on the reporting staff and became chief leader writer in 1892. From 1897 to 1899 he was acting editor, and subsequently became editor, remaining in that position until his retirement in September, 1922.〔 Reference to ''Port Adelaide Advertiser'' is an error.〕 He became part-proprietor of the ''Register'' in 1899. He wrote, as "A. Pencil", a regular satirical column as city correspondent for the ''Kapunda Herald'', much as C. R. Wilton, as "Autolycus", wrote for the ''Mount Marker Courier''. He also wrote, as "A. Scribbler", a regular column "Echoes from the Smoking Room" for the ''Register''. He retired around 1925 to "Castlemaine", the house designed by architect Henry Ernest Fuller in Victor Harbor, where he died.
