<blockquote>" DEATH OF MR. A. W. PELZER<br>
<blockquote>" Mr. John Bohlmann, a colonist of 55 years, died at his residence, Kermode street, North Adelaide, on Tuesday night, at the age of 90 years. The deceased gentleman was born in Bremen, Germany, in 1811, and arrived in South Australia by the ship Patell in 1846. Soon after coming to this state he joined the Locomotive Department, which was then established at Bowden. Mr. Bohlmann retired in 1888, having retained the respect and regard of his superior officers and fellow-workmen. He resided in North Adelaide for 51 years, and up to within a few days of his death he enjoyed fairly good health. He has left a widow, three sons—Messrs. H. Bohlmann, of H.M. Customs; J. Bohlmann, of Messrs. H. Muecke & Co., Port Adelaide; and Mr. G. Bohlmann—and three daughters”. <ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line. |title= Death of Mr. Bartels|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/42992522 |work= The South Australian Register |location=Adelaide, South Australia |date=30 November 1878 |access-date=}}</ref></blockquote>" -->

Mr. Pelzer had previously appeared in good health, but collapsed after his evening meal, from a heart attack. He retired from his position as city gardener two years ago. He was appointed in 1899. <br>
"Under Mr. Pelzer's supervision, the work of laying out Adelaide's many municipal gardens was extraordinarily well done." said the Lord Mayor (Mr. Cain) last right. Mr Pelzer, he said, was one of Australia's leading authorities on landscape gardening. After his retirement, his services had been retained by the City Council in an advisory capacity - He was recently engaged on the arrangement of the decorations for the Mayoral Ball.<br>
Mr. Pelzer leaves a widow, a son, Malcolm, and a daughter, Greta. " <ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line. |title= Death of Mr. A. W.
