Notes

Death found: 1975, age 93. Confirmed via Lehmann/Henschke RootsWeb family card (moadstorage.blob.core.windows.net), which records "b. 1882, SA, d. 1975, age: 93". Exact date and location remain to be sourced.

⚠️ False lead — 1964 date disproven: The death date "4 Aug 1964, Mount Gambier, aged 91" previously attributed to John Roland Telfer is an algorithmic indexing artifact belonging to his older half-sister Martha Telfer Cameron (1873–1964), who died on that date at age 91.

Not found at Ryerson Index: No newspaper death notice found, suggesting he may have died in a rural area without a published notice, or outside the Ryenson coverage area.
