Font. In memory of Charles Henry Coles died 21 May 1913 age 69, buried Riverton Cemetery.
“COLES. — [Died] On the 21st May, at his residence, Ring-street, Exeter, Charles Henry Coles, aged 68 years. At rest.” [Advertiser 22 May 1913]
“Mr. C. Coles, a- well-known resident of the Semaphore. . . was born in June. 1814, at Rotherhithe, England, and was the son of the tide surveyor there. Originally intended for the accountancy profession, he was articled in London. His health having failed at the age of 18, he came to Australia, but remained for only two years. However, the climate in England was too severe, and after some months he had to return to the Commonwealth and take up an open-air occupation. He settled at Riverton, and resided there for some years. On the decease of his wife, 25 years ago, he moved to the Semaphore district, where he had resided ever since. He was buried at Riverton on Friday last. . . A family of seven children survive — Messrs. C. F. Coles, of Bunbury. W.A.; D. G. Coles, of Semaphore; Mesdames A. F. Bond. Visalia, California, U.S.A.; E. V. Rogers, Wangan Hills, W.A.: W. S. Nock, Giles r Corner, S.A.: and Misses O. C Coles (Matron of the Kadina Hospital); and M Coles, of the Adelaide High School.” [Register 27 May 1913]

COLES.— [Died] On the 21st November, at Riverton, Emma, the beloved wife of C. H. Coles, aged 37 years.” [Advertiser 22 Nov 1888]
Church built 1867 as Wesleyan, using Melbourne bluestone brought to SA as ballast in wheat ships, architect W Deverall. Extensions (transept, vestry & schoolroom) foundation stone 20 Aug 1877 by Mrs George Shorney, designed by W Pett of Kent Town, re-opened 20 Jan 1878, Methodist after Union 1900, Uniting 1977.
“In 1865 a small preaching place and a Sunday school were opened at the corner of Hall street, and Woolnough road when the neighbourhood was a dreary waste of spinifex and reeds, and when the houses were few and poorly built.” [Register 6 Oct 1927]
“A neat little church was opened recently by the Wesleyans. It faces the road to the Semaphore, and is built of Melbourne stone, with brick dressings, porch and bell turret. The dimensions are 30 feet by 35 feet, and being 20 feet from the floor to the ceiling, it is capable of being doubled in length at a future time. It cost, with the land, £650, and is a credit to the neighborhood.” [Advertiser 7 Jan 1868]
“For the past ten years the Wesleyans residing in the locality of the Semaphore have been worshipping in a neat little gothic chapel, erected in 1867 on the south-eastern side of the road to the beach, and at that time it was considered a sufficiently commodious building, seating as it did some 170; but with the increase of population, and the added strength of the denomination, it has been found necessary to make extensive additions to the main building. . . The transept will be similar in design to the church . . . and will accommodate with the present building 400 people. At the back of this the schoolroom is to be erected . . . and in addition two classrooms.” [Register 21 Aug 1877]
“The Rev. S. Knight complimented the congregation on the improvements that had been made. He thought the first promoters of the church when they had it built did not believe the Semaphore would grow so rapidly as it had. In his opinion Glenelg had not developed so rapidly as the Semaphore, and from all appearances if they made the most economical use of their sitting room the present building would be large enough for six years. One thing he was sure the Wesleyans had been doing all over the colony, and that was erecting their churches twice over, much to the amusement of the spectators and their own astonishment. (Laughter.) They had old chapels lying like wrecks about the country.” [Chronicle & Weekly Mail 26 Jan 1878]
“On the night of March 27 road metal was thrown at the front windows of the Semaphore Methodist Church, and seven panes of glass were smashed. Fortunately the stained-glass window over the porch was untouched.” [The Mail 8 Apr 1916]
Semaphore Methodist Church. . . The story of this Church commenced in the days when LeFevre Peninsula was a dreary waste of spinifex, reeds, and drifting sand. Dwellings were few and far between, and of a humble description, the more populous part in the early days being Glanville way, clustered round the drink-shop (you could hardly call it an hotel). Of roads and footpaths there were none worthy of the name. . . From March till July, 1867, trustee meetings were held in the old Port Adelaide Methodist schoolroom. . . the purchase of land and the erection of a building were decided upon, the honorary architect being Mr. Diverall, and £100 cash being in hand. . . The first little church was opened for public worship in 1867, being then the only church on that side of the water.” [Aust Christian Commonwealth 14 Sep 1917]
