968	John could have received some of his education at Salisbury, then at Grace Plains School, He worked on the farm at Grace Plains and at Kybunga on land taken up by his father, Richard. Whilst working in a paddock, John had an experience that made him very sure that God was calling him to be a Pastor to people and to offer himself for the ministry. He came home and told his parents he had heard God's call. It is not known how old he was at the time. He attended Prince Alfred College for one year in 1887, then in 1889 he went to England for a year. The Bible Christian Church had no Theological College in Australia so it was necessary to gain training at Shebbear College in North Devon. By this time he was engaged to Jane Matthews, school teacher, and she helped finance some of the expenses for the year away. He was back in time to officiate at the marriage of his brother Richard to Eliza Marshman, Grace Plains in July 1891. His appointments were: 1890 Probationary year at Silverton, near Broken Hill 1891 Port Broughton 1892 Broken Hill; ordained in Adelaide at the Franklin St. Church (now Central Mission) 1894 Kadina 1897 Wirrabara 1900 With the Methodist Union of Bible Christian, Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist, he volunteered to go to Western Australia. He remained there until 1920 and had 10 circuits and was President of the Western Australian Methodist Conference in 1915 and Chairman of Districts in Western Australia in 1905 and 1915. Some of his circuits were Bunbury, York, Guildford, Boulder City, West Perth and Geraldton. 1920 Gladstone South Australia 1922 Supernumerary for one year, probably for health reasons 1923 Kadina 1926 Salisbury 1930 Torrensville 1933 Became Supernumerary Excerpt from Eulogy from minutes of South Australian Conference 1935 " John Tiller entered our Ministry in 1889 and labored for 24 years in important circuits in this state and for 20 years he served the sister Conference of Western Australia, where he was called to the chair in 1915. He labored faithfully in our work and with much acceptance to our people. His preaching was vigorous and evangelical. In all his circuits the work of God prospered. by the Faithful attention to his pastoral duties he won many friends, who thank God for his life and ministry. He loved the people and was loved by them. His mind was enriched by a wide range of reading. He was tireless in service, free from personal consideration, and gave himself loyally to the service of the Church. After a brief eventide he was called suddenly to his reward on 24th April 1934 in the 68th year of his age and the 46th year of his ministry. While John tiller was stationed at Gladstone, South Australia, the subject of a new Church was raise. The Trustees being unwilling to go into debt, the minister promised to quarry the stone if the parishioners would concentrate on money-raising. With this end in view, he set about the job of spending every available spare moment in the stone quarry. Much rubbish had to be cleared; this accomplished, the job of blasting and drilling began. With the exception of a few days at the close of the job, Mr Tiller worked alone. To his credit he now has the satisfaction of seeing about 200 cubit yards of splendid stone on the job ready for the hands of the expert workmen. The opening services were on 19th of February 1922. The President of the conference of that time Rev. J.H. Nield performed the opening ceremony. The cost of the new church was 2,250 pounds. After the special services held that day it was announced that the collections for the day had cleared the remaining debt. So the building was dedicated "free of debt". The congregation rose and all joined in singing the Doxology. Perhaps no Methodist or any other Minister has been held in higher regard by the people of Gladstone. To his effort most of the success of the enterprise is due." Extract from the areas express and Farmer Journal Friday March 3rd 1922 Friday, May 11th 1934 The Australian Christian Commonwealth John Tiller - A Man Indeed The Rev. john Tiller died on Anzac Day. The following tributes show how much he was beloved. His humble mind hid, from many, the fact that he was a fine student. He was a very strong man, and he loved beauty as a poet. He loved his dalias and chrysanthemums, and in return they gave to him their best. he was a prodigious worker in many gardens of the church, and were'er he worked the garden bloomed. The Chief tribute has been prepared by his beloved friend and colleague, Rev S.C, Mugford. Mr Mugford writes: ' In 1890 John Tiller was my colleague in Silverton circuit for the bible Christian Church, He had been studying for his work at Shebbear College in England, and with the late Rev H Trewren and Rev H Wilkinson we wrought together in successful evangelistic work in the streets and churches. We were young and enthusiastic, and 'whether we slept in a cave or the shed, sleep came soft on the hardest bed, fresh we woke on the Morrow, He next laboured in Port Broughton and in 1892 2as sent to Broken Hill upon his ordination and marriage. After very trying but successful service there and Kadina, and Wirrabara, in 1900 he was transferred to West Australia. He spent 20 arduous years in that state, and was President of the Conference. Since returning to his homeland in 1920, several circuits have rejoiced in his fruitful ministry. he was an enthusiastic worker for the new church in Gladstone, raising the stone in the quarry prior to it s building, taxing his great strength to the utmost. He was a devoted minister. "First Thing first' and Jesus' call were supreme to him. Those things for which he 'was made to minister' joined him inseparably to his saviour. His calling, to his fellows and his church. These made him a loyal comrade, and a whole-hearted evangelist. He was a preacher of the 'word' and brought his powers of keen and analytical mind to focus in search of the truth. There was in him a combination of mystic and poet, finding expression in his rugged eloquence, which rejoiced, not in iniquity but in unearthing a new turn of a text as he read his Greek Testament, he was gladdened as one who had come across rich spoil, His pastoral work was diligent and constant, ever seeking to commend to others his saviour and theirs, and in labours abounding, the whole of his great physique was consecrated to the advancement of the Kingdom for his crowned king. He loved books, he loved his fellow men, and his garden. He was a gardener seeking to plant and grow moral and spiritual fruits. He knew there was a sepulchre in the garden, but it did not signify an end, but the gateway of a palace. So in his garden he passed to be 'for ever with the Lord on April 25th 1934'.... ...The Rev,. A.W, Bray of Western Australia, pays tribute to his old friend:"our ministry has lost a devoted son of the Gospel of Jesus. His sincerity and devotedness were marks of his long and worthy ministry, and the work of God claimed all his powers." The Rev. Doctor Shaw writes heartfelt words of affection: 'My most intimate and trusted companion in New Testament studies has passed on to the higher fellowship. It is impossible for me to say how very dear became the fellowship we realized in Christ.' The secretary of the Conference Rev. E.M. Ingamells, B.A. says:' in my sorrow Mr. Tiller wrote me a very kind and beautiful letter, which was a true revelation of his own big loving heart. We shall always hold his in our memory as a good man and a faithful earnest Christian minister' Rev D. C Harris writes: 'So cheerful and brave in spite of the 'slings and arros' of life, and confronting all difficulties with faith, and optimism, he was a man indeed.' Rev. J.P.H. Tilbrook, M.A. from a sincere affection, adds a brief note: "We knew and love John Tiller, and had the greatest admiration for him and the work he did. Personally, I esteemed him very Highly, and found his words of counsel very helpful." These are all high tributes and the beauty is, they are fairly earned. The love of Methodism is with Mrs. Tiller in her sad loss, in which God will comfort and sustain her. Also from Western Australia, the Rev Milton R. Maley, chairman of the South-Western District, writes: 'John Tiller was a virile man, both in body and mind, with a wide vision of the Kingdom of God and the spiritual objectives of the Methodist Church.' The Rev. Principal Lade, M.A. one among many who loved John Tiller dearly writes: "The brave strong soul has entered into the life for which God's grace, he proved himself worthy. We all loved your husband for his Christian cheerfulness and his unselfish devotion to his great work." Our President, Rev.. J.C. Hughes, in a letter of sympathy says,"his gracious winning personality and his very fine work for god both in Western Australia and in our own state will long be remembered, not only by his brethren in the ministry, but by those of our people amongst who he laboured."

He was born on 21st February 1915 at 137 Cleveland St Redfern, New South Wales, the home of his grand parents John and Sarah Young. 1919 was the year electric lighting was first installed in Redfern and in 1920 John went to Cleveland Street Boys School. Johns first job, at the age of 14, was at Marchants Soft Drink factory in Bourke St Redfern. Then for a short time he worked at the glass works, but had to leave as the straw in the packing cases gave him hay fever. For recreation he played Rugby League and Cricket at Moore Park and at other times was part of the youth group at St Saviours Anglican Church. The Young's and the Burcher's being of Irish and German descent, were generally poor, but socially connected well with each other. There were the usual weddings and dances to attend and during the summer months swimming at Bronte Beach. As John grew older he would cycle to Cronulla to be with his cousins Jim and Jack Hughes. Their family owned a boat, so there was fishing and prawning as well as swimming and bush walking. These trips away from the inner city must have done him a lot of good. Away from the treeless brick streets and factories of Redfern and Waterloo. Away from the smoke grime and smells from their chimneys. Cronulla in the 1930's was still a bit like the country with scattered bush and paddocks and along the coast beaches, sand dunes and rocky outcrops. These were still the depression years, so because of the market gardens, chooks and dairy cows and the good fishing spots, it was easier for him to enjoy fresh vegetables, black berries, milk, eggs and fish - thank God he had these opportunities. Towards the end of the 1930's he joined the New South Wales Fire Brigade Reserve. On the 21st April 1941, John aged 26 Joined the Australian Army. He did basic training, but was discharged in March 1942 a medically unfit for service. John met and Married Lola Barnes in December 1941 at St Andrews Church of England, Summer Hill, New South Wales. John and Lola had three sons Harvey, Robert and David. In 1950 John worked for G J Coles and Co. as head storeman at their Liverpool Street City Store in Sydney. Earlier that year Coles had bought out Selfridges, a small department store, in Liverpool St, which backed onto Anthony Hordens. On the night of Friday 17th November 1950, there was a fire in the basement of Selfridges. John, being the head store man was asked to assess the damage to the stock, which was in the fire/water damaged basement. A section of the ceiling collapsed and John along with Sam Turner the Manager of Selfridges were killed. 10 other people were also injured. John loved his wife lola and their three boys and he was loved by all who knew him. His ashes are at Waverley cemetery with his Mother and Father, His grand parents John and Sarah Young.
