      John Rule of Camborne - Australian adventurer & author
      Cornish Lives
      John Rule - born in Camborne in the middle of the nineteenth century, and laid to rest in Camborne Parish churchyard - spent much of his life overseas. I hope you enjoy exploring aspects of his life through the images on this page. I am in the process of trying to find out more about the books he wrote (which are referred to in his obituary an Australian newspaper); do come back to check for an update ! John Rule's writing drew attention at home and abroad: while living at Glen Innes, the following article appeared in the local paper, quoting a poem from a book published by John: And after John's death, the same newspaper re-printed a review of John's book ' A Merry Party ', that had originally appeared in a Cornish newspaper in August 1920: Places in Camborne associated with John Rule include: When John lived in Camborne between 1907 - 1912, he lived with his eldest sister, Susan, on Enys Road . But it seems he wasn't always at home; a notification from a local paper reports that: On his return from America in mid-1921 in failing health, John stayed with his younger sister, Elizabeth (Susan having passed away) on Wesley Street , until his death. North Parade is where John's younger half-brother lived with his mother, Mary, until her death in 1891, and where he subsequently lived with his wife and son. References and Acknowledgements include: + Obituary of John Rule in the Glen Innes Examiner – Thursday 27th October 1921 + Census information from Find My Past, accessed at Kresen Kernow, Redruth + Advertisement for John Rule & Co. in The Queenslander- Saturday 1st July, 1905 + With thanks to Peter Williams, Tony Bennett, Spike Harwood & Karen Carmack Stadler for communications that improved the text. Request a delivery of a token of remembrance to the resting place of John Rule, in St Meriadoc churchyard, Camborne:
