Edward Dyson

Edward Dyson was born on 4 March 1865 in Morrisons, near Ballarat, the son of a miner from London. He spent his childhood in the gold towns, worked in the mines, then in a factory in South Melbourne. His mining stories, noticed by J. F. Archibald, enabled him to live by his pen; he wrote for the Bulletin and for the Melbourne Punch. Brother of the cartoonists Will and Ambrose Dyson, he died on 22 August 1931 at home, in St Kilda (in Elwood according to the Australian Dictionary of Biography).
