John Tait (1843–1934)
The death occurred in Melbourne on July 8 of Mr. John Tait, aged 91 years. He was born at Parramatta (N.S.W.) and was the second son of the late Rev. John Tait, of Geelong, one of the leaders of the early Presbyterian Church of Victoria and clerk of the Presbyterian Assembly, in which he was succeeded by another son, the Rev. George Tait.
