James Michael Beerworth (22 Apr 1884 – 11 Mar 1959) was a South Australian Labor Party politician. HistoryBeerworth was the third son of William Carl Beerworth (ca.1848 – 10 May 1913) and his wife Mary Beerworth, née McInerney (20 October 1844 – 15 July 1921), later of Kooringa. They had a farm some {{convert|20|miles|km}} north of Carrieton, in the Hundred of Boolcunda.[1] Beerworth joined the South Australian Police force in 1911, serving until 1925, when bought the Pastoral Hotel in Port Augusta in 1925.[2] He was elected unopposed to the Corporate Town of Port Augusta West council in 1926 for the Ebenezer ward, and continued on that council, serving as mayor from 1928 to 1930. It was amalgamated into the Corporate Town of Port Augusta in 1932, and Beerworth was elected the first mayor of the enlarged Port Augusta municipality, retaining that position until 1935, when he was succeeded by Lindsay Riches. Beerworth stood unsuccessfully as an Australian Labor Party candidate for a Northern district seat on the South Australian Legislative Council in 1930, then in 1933 was elected to the seat of Newcastle in the House of Assembly. At the following election, in 1938, he and Charles Leonard Davis were Labor candidates for the Northern district seat on the Legislative Council, but were beaten by Liberal and Country League (LCL) candidates Lyell McEwin and George Ritchie. Another seat in the same district became vacant when H. G. Hawkins died in 1939, and Beerworth won the resulting by-election. He held the seat until 1947, when he stood for re-election but was defeated. Longtime residents of Port Augusta, the Beerworths left for Adelaide in 1950.[3] FamilyBeerworth married Jean Murphy, of 'The Pines,' Bendleby on 11 August 1915. Their only daughter Moryah married Jack Curtis Fullerton of Port Augusta sometime around 1940.
