1872
COTTON.—On the 30th September, at Warrow,
Port Lincoln, Richard Cotton, the beloved
brother of Mrs. Sarah Kither, Adelaide, and
Mrs. George Stephens, Gawler, in the 57th year
of his age.

That can't fit.

There is only one death in SA in the index in 1872 for a Richard Cotton.

DEATH AT THE HOSPITAL.—On Tuesday even-

There is a Richard Cotton, grocer of Rundle-street, Adelaide in 1850s.

Seems to be no death in the index for the grocer.
