Mr. Alfred Isaac Raphael

Mr. Alfred Isaac Raphael, who was a Member of the Christchurch City Council in 1874 and 1875, was a progressive and useful member, whose earnest and untiring efforts contributed considerably to the city's progress. He was born in England in 1833, and educated in London. After leaving school he sailed for Australia, and was for some time in Melbourne, which he left in the latter part of 1862, when he arrived in Christchurch, where he carried on an estate, commission and financial agency business fill the time of his death in 1875. Mr. Raphael took a deep interest in all that concerned the welfare of the community. He was married in 1856, and left a widow, six sons, and three daughters.
