WAS born at Bow, London, in August, 1843, and is the second son of the late Wm. Kither, a much-respected tradesman of that place. Arrived in Adelaide in October, 1855, by the barque "Constance," and has carried on his business as a butcher in Rundle-street (with the exception of a few months) ever since. He succeeded his father in 1870, and has been very successful. He rebuilt, at a large cost, the extensive premises which bear his name, in 1880; was elected a member of the City Council in 1881, and an alderman in 1883; opened a soup-kitchen for the distressed poor of Adelaide in the winter of 1884, when bread and soup were daily dispensed gratis for many weeks. Mr. Kither is a ​Justice of the Peace, Governor of the Children's Hospital, and has been a large subscriber to the Blind and Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and to other institutions. He is of a genial and charitable disposition, and deservedly respected by all classes of the community.
