  • 17 Mar 1862: Death of mother: WILLDER. — On the 20th January, at Kensington, near London, of bronchitis, in the sixty fourth year of her age, Sophia, for forty seven years the devoted and affectionate wife of John Willder, and mother of Derbin Willder, of St. Kilda, to the inexpressible grief of her large and sorrowing family. "Her end was peace."14
  • 1 Jun 1875: Death of father: WILLDER. - On the 5th April, at Kensington, London, John Willder, father of Derbin Willder, of this city, in the 91st year of his age. He was present at the Battle of Copenhagen, under Admiral Sir Hyde Parker.15
  • 23 Sep 1878: THE WILLDER DIVORCE SUIT. - An application was made to Mr. Justice Barry on Saturday, by Mr. Molesworth, in the divorce suit of Willder v. Willder and Clutterbuck, on behalf of the co-respondent Clutterbuck, for leave to defend the suit. The case had been set down for trial at the last sittings, but was postponed (says the Argus) on the application of Mrs. Willder, who alleged that the petitioner had been previously married, and that his first wife was alive at the date of the second marriage, and therefore, the later marriage being void, there could be no divorce. The hearing of the suit has been appointed for the 27th inst. Mrs. Willder has lately obtained leave to defend on the ground that she has obtained through Mr. Berliner, information that the first wife is alive. It was on the same ground that the present application was made. Mr. Neighbour, on behalf of the petitioner, read an affidavit by Mr. Willder that, in 1868, he employed Mr. Berliner to ascertain where his wife was, or whether she was alive, and that Mr, Berliner had, after some months, reported that she could not be found, but promising to give any information when he obtained it. His Honor granted the application, the co-respondent to pay the costs. Otto Berliner and Co. wrote to the Argus stating that as Mr. Willder only gave them £10 to prosecute the search, they could not get the information for him ; but did get it for Mrs. Willder, who spent a good deal of money. On Monday an application was made to Mr. Justice Barry by Mr. Lewes, on behalf of the respondent, for a commission to take evidence in San Francisco, to prove that the first Mrs. Willder was still alive. The application was opposed on behalf of the petitioner, but Mr. Justice Barry said that there must be an inquiry as to whether the first wife was alive or not, and he granted the commission, directing that it should be returned in six months. Christina Mary Johnston16
  • 23 Oct 1880: Amongst the latest of petitions of divorce we have one of Mr. Derbin Willder, the well-known sharebroker, praying for a dissolution of his marriage with his first wife, Phillis Mary, who eloped to San Francisco with a person named John Frederick Henderson. Mr Willder states that he was originally a draper ; that he is forty-six years of ago, his wife being three years his junior ; that he lived with his first spouse at Geelong, Melbourne, and Maryborough ; that she left him ; and that, after waiting eight years, he contracted a form of marriage with a Miss Christian Mary Johnson. Four years after this form of marriage certain proceedings for divorce, in consequence of the elopement of this lady with Mr. Arthur Clutterbuck, acquainted him with the fact that his first wife was still alive, and he now seeks to be relieved of her also.
    Gossip, which has dealt freely with Mr. Willder's domestic relations for years past, may now be satisfied that another stage has been reached in one of those sad life histories which it is not wise to comment too minutely upon. Christina Mary Willder17
  • 30 Aug 1882: Re-marriage of first wife: HENDERSON—WILLDER.—On the 26th June, at Sacramento city, California, U.S.A., by Rev. T. H. B. Anderson, D.D., John Frederic Henderson to Mrs. Phillis Mary Willder, both formerly of Melbourne.18
  • 12 Sep 1889: DERBIN WILLDER begs to THANK most cordially his numerous friends for the number of vehicles which they have so generously lent for This Day, and will be glad of further offers of assistance.
    ELECTORS.—VOTE for DERBIN WILLDER, sound practical business man, over 30 years' experience.19
  • 22 Jun 1892: DEATH OF MR. DERBIN WILLDER.
    It was announced this afternoon that Mr. Derbin Willder, for many years a member of the Stock Exchange of Melboune, died on the voyage from Queensland, whither he had gone a short time ago in ill-health.
    LATER. To-day Mr. H. G. Everard received a telegram from Mrs. Willder, dated from Sydney, stating that her husband fell overboard on the 18th. The body was not recovered. The accident must have occurred shortly after the Aramac left Brisbane.
    Acting on medical advice, three weeks ago Mr Willder left by the Aramac for Brisbane, accompanied by Mrs Willder. His condition becoming rapidly worse, he was advised to return home as soon as possible. He was born in London in 1833, and arrived in Victoria in 1852. His career was very prosperous till about two years ago, when he lost very heavily by the fall in tramway shares and the collapse of the land boom. His reverses seriously affected his health. He was one of the founders of the Stock Exchange of Melbourne. He several times unsuccessfully attempted to enter Parliament. The late Mr. Willder was of a very charitable disposition. In 1888 he distinguished himself by the share he took in collecting £10,000 in 10 days towards the hospitals. He was thrice married, and leaves a widow and six children.

To A J Skene Esq., Surveyor General of Victoria, Melbourne
Sir, We the selectors and residents of Gembrook and Packenham County of Mornington humbly request that you will please order that a new road may be surveyed through the selection of Mr Arthur Knight in the Parish of Packenham. This road we request will be to start from the north east corner of Mr Knight's selection, thence south west distant at about five chains more or less and being west from the two chain road and thence ending at the south east corner of the said selection. This new line of road will be on the side of a very high hill and with little expense can be made into a very good road. The present one chain road is too steep that it is almost impossible for us to get either up or down it and ought never to have been surveyed in that place. Trusting that you will give this a favourable consideration.
We have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servants.

(Witness) Land-Note20 Feb 1878 Packenham, Febr 20th 1878
To A J Skene Esq., Surveyor General of Victoria, Melbourne
Sir, We the selectors and residents of Gembrook and Packenham County of Mornington humbly request that you will please order that a new road may be surveyed through the selection of Mr Arthur Knight in the Parish of Packenham. This road we request will be to start from the north east corner of Mr Knight's selection, thence south west distant at about five chains more or less and being west from the two chain road and thence ending at the south east corner of the said selection. This new line of road will be on the side of a very high hill and with little expense can be made into a very good road. The present one chain road is too steep that it is almost impossible for us to get either up or down it and ought never to have been surveyed in that place. Trusting that you will give this a favourable consideration.
We have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servants.

  • 29 Jan 1872: LOST, a POCKETBOOK, on the 24th January, Finder rewarded John J. Modral, builder, Wilson-street, South Yarra.8
  • 17 Jul 1876: WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, (Before his Honour Judge Noel). RE JOHN JAMES MODRAL.
    An examination was held in the estate of J. J. Modral, of South Yarra, contractor, Mr. Braham appearing for the trustee, and Mr. O'Halloran for the insolvent.
    J. J, Modral, the insolvent, and J. C. Loughrey, a creditor, were examined. From their evidence it appeared that early in June last Modral, who owned a house in Wilson street, South Yarra, worth about £500, and on which there was then a mortgage for £260, gave a second mortgage over the house to Loughrey, to secure him for a debt of £109 17s. 7d. Insolvent said the mortgage was given under a threat from Loughrey that he would issue a writ for the debt, but Loughrey denied that any threat was used, and also said that any statement of the insolvent, to the effect that he said he owed money to other creditors, and it would not be right to give the mortgage, was untrue. The examination then closed.9
  • 9 May 1877: STOLEN or Strayed from Wilson-street, South Yarra, dark-bay HORSE, branded T.N.C.N, near shoulder, bar shoe near fore foot. Reward on recovery. Modral, builder.10
