| Rookswood Cemetery Also Arthur William Watson. Only son 20 May 1901 aged 18 years and 10 months. Death reported in Brisbane Courier dated 26 November 1894 as follows: During the week, under his real name of Arhur Watson Lloyd, the Herald columns have recorded the death of Mr Arthur Rigby, an esteemed member of Mr George Rignold's Operatic Company . Mr Rigby who was the eldest son of Sir Horatio Lloyd, , an English County Court Judge and Recorder of Chester, came to Australia in 1879 after some previous residence at the Cape. For some years he was with the Royal Comic Opera Company under Messrs. Williamson, Garner, and Musgrove, occasionally playing minor parts in which his excellent bass voice told well, and then in 1889 he joined the Rignold Dramatic Company and in the coarse of a steady and servicable career showed decided talent as a character actor. When Mr William Rignold made a great success of his life as Falstaff (Merry Wives of Windsor), Mr Rigby contributed a clever little character study as "mine Host of the Garter" with jolly unctuous laugh, who figured in the third scene of the comedy. His last appearance on stage was in "True as Steel" as long ago as February 1893 when appropriately enough his last words he said in public were " Well, anyhow, I've done my duty, and that's all I want" Many kind attentions were shown him during his long illness by Mr and Mrs Rignold - to whom he wrote very gratefully - and by the members of their company, and his old friend Mr Stirling Whyte remained with him almost to the last. The late Mr Rigby, who leaves a widow and one son, died at Katoomba, at the age of 36 years on the 20th November, and was buried at Rookwood last Thursday. The Sydney Morning Herald of 28 January 1893 reported under Amusements as follows: Her Majesty's Theatre: With the object of introducing Mr Lionel Rignold as Harry Ascalon the part which won him fame at the Adelphi Theatre some few years past, Mr George Rignold will this evening produce"London Day by Day" at her Majesty's Theatre. The drama will be illustrated by the fine series of pictures painted by Mr George Gordon to show the highways and byways of the great city, and the newly organised company will present the following interesting list of characters: Includes Mr Arthur Rigby as Detective Morgan. Probate to his wife value of 70 pounds. |
