George Kedwell 'was a native of Maitland, and [lived to] 60 years of age. He served his time as a photographer with the late Mr. M. Moss in premises in High-street, now occupied by Messrs. Poulton, Cameron, and Morris, and later for several years had a studio in Hart’s buildings. He was a very successful amateur actor, and was conductor of several dramatic societies that met with a large measure of success in Maitland. He always associated himself with charitable entertainments, and was one of the most popular artists on the amateur stage in the north. He went to Sydney [in about 1905], and succeeded so well in the hotel business that he was able to retire and take a trip to Europe’ – from the Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners’ Advocate, 6 March 1925, page 6.
