  Article was written about Palmer Ockenden - "Death of a Pioneer", Adelaide Observer, 16-3-1895, p29, col e.
  "We have to record the death of Mr. Palmer Ockenden who arrived in South Australiain January, 1839, by the ship Resource (Captain Boyle), and with the exception of three short visits to Victoria, he lived here ever since.  He was born in Littlehampton, Sussex, England on April 16, 1816, so he had nearly reached his seventy ninth year.  He married in England, and his wife, who survives him, came out with him.  He carried on business for a number of years in different parts of the province.  He had lived a retired life for nearly thirty years.  Mr and Mrs Ockenden were among the mourners at Colonel Light's funeral, and many a tale they could tell of the early settlers.  Mr Ockenden leaves a widow and six children - Mrs S F Bayly, Coromandel Valley; Mrs J W Weidenhofer, Broken Hill; Mrs Furner Taylor, Wallaroo; Mr W M Ockenden, Gumeracha; Mr Palmer Ockenden, Cheltenham, Victoria; Mr H G Ockenden, of the Parade, Norwood. Forty-two Grandchildren and twenty-eight great-grandchildren also survive."
