Death of Father27 September 1919 Gawler Oval, Gawler, SA, Australia;
A painfully sudden death occurred on Saturday, when Mr. David Thomson collapsed while watching the football match between the Central and College teams, on the Gawler Oval. Mr. Thomson was a keen enthusiast of football, and in the third quarter he became greatly excited over the struggle. He was then observed to stagger and go behind the tool house, and immediately dropped dead. The deceased, who was 67 years of age, had been suffering from heart trouble, and his death was expected at any minute as latterly he had had several severe heart attacks. The remains were interred in the Willaston Cemetery on Monday afternoon, when a large gathering paid tribute to his memory. The burial service was read by the Rev. Frew Brown, also the service of the Foresters' and Athenian Lodges. The Central footballers and the Moulders' Union also appeared in body as a mark of respect to the deceased. Mr. Thomson was the second son of the late Mr. David Thomson, founder of the Eagle Foundry, and brother of Messrs. Daniel, Robert K., John, and James. His widow, 3 sons, and 4 daughters survive. Mr. Thomson did not take great interest in public affairs, but was a most enthusiastic worker in the interests of Friendly Societies, and was closely associated with the Foresters' Order and the Athenian lodge of Oddfellows. He, too, worked for the benefit of his fellow craftsmen, the ironmoulders, and was in office of the local Moulders' Union. For some years Mr. Thomson has lived a retired life in his home on Church Hill. He was born in Glasgow in 1852 and four years later sailed with his parents for South Australia.;Principal=David Thomson3
