John Alfred Hallam was born 17 August 1865 and died 21st. February 1933 John married Henrietta Forsyth on 1 Oct 1895 in St Davids Church Hobart. Henrietta was born about 1871, was christened in 1871, and was buried on 18 Oct 1935 in Cornelian Bay. According to the Hallam Family History: "General Notes: Obituary: The Mercury. Took a keen interest in local government and was a member and later chairman of the Moonah Town Board. It was not until about seven years ago that he became a member of the Glenorchy Council, but during his period of five years at the Council he made a name for himself as one of the most capable men who had represented the ratepayers of the municipality. His council was invariably sound and there was widespread regret when he found it necessary to resign about two years ago. He held office as treasurer of the council. He was an undoubted authority on matters relating to Glenorchy and his vgiews were respected throughout the district. In his younger days he was employed by the council as an inspector and collector. At one time, he was a storekeeper at Glenorchy and for some years was associated with the Hobart legal firm of Messrs. Roberts and Allport. His funeral at Cornelian Bay on 22 Feb 1933 was also reported. It was conducted by the Rev'd L.E. Wilkinson of the New Town Methodist Church and his sons Leonard, Archie, Ralph and Ray were listed as chief mourners. Many dignataries including the Premier, J.C.McPhee. tje Mayor of Hobart, J.J.Wignall and the Warden of Glenorchy, B.Watkins MHA were also present. 1915 Electoral Roll tells us that John Alfred was living at Kempton and was a Council Clerk. He was a member of the Ramblers Bicycle club at the same time Thomas Frederick was captain."
