Details: The Rev. William Knight Colyer, a veteran Church of England, clergyman, died at his residence Cross-street, West Maitland, on Thursday evening, after an illness of a few days. Though a minister of the Church of England, the deceased spent more time at the rostrum than in the pulpit, having devoted more than half a century of his life to teaching. In the early part of 1851 the first Bishop of Newcastle was anxious to establish schools in his diocese and he naturally turned to his old home to look for teachers. After many inquiries a selection was made for him in Mr. W. K. Colyer, a native of Northamptonshire, who had had some experience in schools in Buckinghamshire, Cheshire, Lincolnshire, and Edinburgh. Mr. Colyer was then 24 years of age. In 1853 he arrived in Sydney and came to Maitland where he was installed as head master of the Church of England Grammar School, a position he occupied for 40 years with credit to himself and for the advancement of his scholars, many of whom have since occupied a prominent place in public life. In 1866 he was ordained to the ministry, but never undertook any parochial charge beyond assisting the various rectors of St. Pauls Church at service or when vacancies occurred in the rectorship. He took a keen interest in the school of arts and was for years a well known visitor to the reading room. In 1855 he married Miss Capper, and leaves her with one son and seven daughters. He was 81 years of age, and had resided for nearly 57 years of that period in Maitland
