George Lucas (1813–1900)
from Richmond River Herald
At Canterbury last week Mr. George Lucas, a retired builder, passed away at the age of 87. He was the first to put a slate roof on a building in Sydney. Mr. Lucas was on Sir Henry Parkes' first committee, and it used to be an axiom that any person he supported got into Parliament. He was one to institute the shilling subscription to pay Dr. Lang's fine in a libel action brought against that gentleman by Governor Fitzroy, and was a powerful advocate of the Public Instruction Act of 1866.
