LATE MR FRANK PANNELL.
Mr Frank Norman Pannell, the well
known Kadina dentist, whose death
occurred suddenly on Wednesday, 26th.
June, was born at Mt. Gambier in 1894,
and was the second son of Mr and the
late Mrs Harry Pannell. The family
removed from Mt. Gambier to Stawell
(Victoria) while deceased was still
a baby, and in May, 1898, came to Ka
dina where Mr Pannell senr. com
menced his practice of dentistry at the
premises now occupied, by Dr. H. C.
Carden. After attending the public
school at Kadina, the deceased entered
Prince Alfred College, and was there
for several years. From health rea
sons, he was for a year on a farm, and
then joined his father at dentistry. To
increase his experience he worked
with Mr Chas. Webb and Mr Frank
Swan (both of Adelaide) for several
years, until he passed his exam's. He
then returned to Kadina, and on the
removal of his father to Adelaide, took
over the Kadina practice in 1920. Like
his father, Mr Frank Pannell was
widely known throughout the Penin
sula, and generally esteemed for his
many good qualities and cheery and
genial manner. In 1914 he married
Miss Nellie Allen, a daughter of the
late Mr and Mrs James Allen, of Cun
life, who survives with two sons,
Bronte and Brett. Mr Pannell, who
was a Rechabite from childhood, was
a great lover of the outdoors, and keen
on shooting and fishing. As a mem
ber of the Kadina show society he took
many prizes with ponies, dogs and
flowers, and until recently was an
active member of the Y.P. Trotting
Club committee. He was liberal in
the support of all healthy sport, and
his sudden death at the early age of 41
years came as a shock to his many
friends, who much deplore his demise.
Mr W. E. Pannell (Kadina) is a
brother, and Mesdames J. A. Robert
son (Kadina) and G. D. Moseley
(Keith) are sisters. The funeral took
place at the Kadina cemetery on
Thursday afternoon, and was largely
attended, there being numerous floral
tributes. The Rev. J.L. Bond (Angli
can) officiated at the graveside, and
Mr G. R. Haddy had charge of the
arrangements.
