Note 2: Mat Lang in the Australia, Death Index, 1787-1985 Name: Mat Lang [Matthew Lang] Birth Year: abt 1830 Age: 63 Death Place: Sandringham, Victoria Father's Name: Mat Mother's Name: Margt Loudon Registration Year: 1893 Registration Place: Victoria Registration Number: 3700 Mount Alexander Mail (Victoria) 4 March 1893 MR MATTHEW LANG. The announcement of the death of Mr Mat thew Lang, M.L.O., who recently filled the mayoral chair of Melbourne for three successive years, has caused a general feeling of sincere regret. Mr Lang was born at the little town of Aidrie, in Lanarkshire, Scotland, in the year 1830; and next May would have been 63 years of age He received his schooling in the town of his birth, and at a comparatively early age he was sent to Liverpool, where he entered the em ploy of Mackie, Gladstone and Co., wine and spirits merchants. In 1853 he had so gained the confidence of his employers that he was sent to Melbourne to act as agent for the firm. He took premises on the spot now occupied by the Em pire buildings, Collins-street, and within two years of his arrival made arrangements by which he acquired the business for himself... He re mained in Collins-street until about six years ago, in partnership with his brother-in-law, Mr Alex. Scott, when he sold the premises to Mr C. H. James and removed to Market-street. At an early period in the history of the colony Mr Lang took a deep interest in commercial pur suits. Many years ago he joined the board of the National Mutual Life Association, and at the time of his death he was in addition a director of the Commercial Bank, the National Fire In surance Company, the Equity Trustees, Carlton Brewery Company and Gilllespie Bros., Limited. He also possessed an extensive station property at Mount Poole, In the north-west of New South Wales. It was at this place that Sturt, (the ex plorer, formed his historic , depot nearly half a century ago , when hemmed in by a terrible drought. It was only after long and persistant persuasion on the part of his friends that Mr Lang was induced to enter public life. Though warmhearted and generous, even lavish, in his hospitality, he had a singularly retiring disposi tion and held his worth in modest estimation. In 1876, however, he was induced to offer him self for a seat in the City Council, rendered vacant by the retirement of Cr Gatehouse, and in May of that year he was returned for Albert Ward. In 1878 he retired in order to visit Scot land. Eleven years later he re-entered the City Council, succeeding the late Mr John Wilks as representative of Lonsdale'Ward on 19th Feb ruary, 1889. In October of the same, year he was elected mayor of the city, and was re-elected to that position in the two succeeding years,: until last October of the same year he was elected mayor of the city, and was re-elected to that position in the two succeeding years, until last October, when he was succeeded by Cr Snowden, the present occupant of the position. Having once entered public life his services were much sought after, and honours in the shape of public trusts fell upon him fast. Three years ago he was elected by the merchants and traders of Mel-- bourne as one of their representatives on the Harbour Trust, and a year later the City Coun cil sent him as one of their commissioners on the. Metropolitan Board of Works. The crowning honour of his public career was attained a few months ago, when the electors of the South Yarra Province returned him unopposed to the Legislative Council to succeed the late Sir James MacBain. All these varied public positions were (says the ' Age ') filled with ability, and a scrupulous honesty of purpose. During his term as Mayor Mr Lang was called upon to exercise discretion and firmness in dealing with the troubles attending the great maritime strike, and he then showed that under a mild exterior he possessed a resolute will. It was in his pri vate life that he was seen at his best. His hos- pitality was unlimited, and the unobtrusive; charity that he dispensed is said by those best qualified to know to have been of the most
