Robert Reid REID, ROBERT (1842-1904), merchant and politician, was born on 18 October 1842 at Leven, Fifeshire, Scotland, second son of Robert Reid, bookseller, and his wife Catherine, née Lambert. |

The family migrated to
Victoria, arriving in April 1855 on the
Ralph Waller, after barely surviving
collision with an iceberg. When his father
died weeks later, Robert, not yet 13, became
the support of his mother and five sisters.
Robert Reid was first a shop clerk in Collins Street,
Melbourne, then at Ballarat, but the news of
his having to work on the Sabbath outraged
his mother's 'strong Scottish Christian
opinions', and he was peremptorily recalled.
Robert Reid walked back to Melbourne to keep his £5
pay intact. |

| When the boom collapsed Robert Reid was one of the veterans called on to represent the new business movement, the National Association, in colonial politics and was returned to the Legislative Council in October 1892 for Melbourne Province. A free trader and a Federationist, Robert Reid was re-elected three times before he resigned in February 1903. Under (Sir) James Patterson Robert Reid held the defence and health portfolios from January 1893 to September 1894. |

Though Robert Reid refused the position of
agent-general in London through pressure of
business, the government charged him with
explaining the colonial financial situation
to help to restore credit there. Reid also
persuaded London shippers of the importance
of refrigeration, before returning through
North America. In 1901 Robert Reid stood
unsuccessfully for the Senate in the
free-trade interest, having faced the voters
as an opponent of the 'great darkness' of
protection and of women's suffrage, and as
an advocate of a White Australia yielding to coloured labour where necessary. Robert Reid was
restored to the Victorian ministry by (Sir)
William Irvine in June 1902 with charge of
public instruction and health. In January
1903, however, Reid was elected to the
Senate by the joint houses, to 'hold the
place' caused by the death of Sir Frederick Sargood, by 68 votes to 51 for Sir Alexander
Peacock. Robert Reid did not seek re-election in
December. Reid had a long connection with the Collins Street Baptist Church. Robert Reid was chairman of the Baptist Union of Victoria and secretary of its theological college for many years. A prominent philanthropist, Robert Reid contributed £1000 for a wing of the Homoeopathic Hospital. As a member of the royal commission on the sanitary condition of Melbourne (1888) Robert Reid had contributed comparative reports from his travels. Robert Reid was a member of the board of the National Mutual Life Association of Australasia.- Robert Reid oil painting on wood board, acrylic paintings- Robert Reid on canvas oil painting on wood board– on wood board oil paintings on canvas, Robert Reid Bio by America acrylic paintings oil of America acrylic painting Robert Reid. |

Reid had suffered from diabetes for ten years and died in diabetic coma on 12 May 1904 in a London hotel, while on holiday, and was buried in Hampstead cemetery. When the unexpected news reached 'The Lane', warehouse flags were flown at half-mast. Reid's wife, Mary Jane, née Clancy, whom Robert Reid had married at his mother's house in Punt Road, Richmond, on 2 February 1865, survived him with four sons and six daughters. His estate was sworn for probate at £196,501. Sons continued the family business and his daughter Isabelle Bruce (1883-1945) was an early woman veterinary surgeon. In 1966 Robert Reid & Co. amalgamated with its long-time competitor Paterson, Laing & Bruce, as Paterson, Reid & Bruce. | ||||||
