“Kapunda Marble.—We saw on Saturday a nice light marble foundation stone for the Semaphore Baptist Church, presented for that purpose by Mr. J. F. Mellor, J.P. On the same day we paid a visit to the Kapunda Marble and Marble-Lime Company's quarries (from which the stone came) and were more than ever impressed with the splendid quality and great variety of marble now being opened up, which includes some really handsome varie ties suitable for pillars and pedestals, as well as some of almost pure white and beautifully fine texture.” [Kapunda Herald 28 Nov 1882]
