Add my storyBiography contributed by Michael Silver
The son of Swiss immigrants, Alphonse Joseph Jules Francois Nadenbousch and his wfe Bertha Elisabeth Deppeler, John Nadenbousch was the fourth of ten children to the couple. He was born at Hazelwood in 1878 and educated at Morwell State School, Commercial Road, Morwell being actively associated with district sport.
He served during the Boer War as a member of the 1st Victorian Mounted Contingent. After returning, he continued his military service as a member of the Victorian Rangers and was selected for and attended the Coronation Ceremonies of King Edward VII in London in August 1902 with the Australian Coronation Corps.
John Nadenbousch married Mabel Cobain Kenyon of Sale in 1907 and they were to have six children. Residing in the Sale district, he was engaged in pastoral pursuits being favourably known before later moving to the Bairnsdale area.
His youngest brother 3491 Trooper Herbert Nadenbousch of the 8th Light Horse Regiment accidentally drowned in Egypt shortly after the end of World War I in December 1918.
It was with regret that old residents of the Morwell district learnt of the passing of their former well-known and highly respected resident at the Bairnsdale Hospital on 9 April 1946. He was survived by his wife Mabel, five daughters and one son.
