He was born in Auckland, New Zealand on 12 May 1891.[1] Early lifeAfter leaving school in 1906, Eady worked for his father, Lewis Roberts Eady, a musician who tuned pianos and traded in second-hand instruments. When the firm moved from Karangahape Road to Queen Street shortly after the First World War, Eady became managing director.[1] On 17 February 1917 at Mount Eden, Auckland, Eady married Agnes Amelia Adams, a teacher.[1] CouncillorBetween 1925 and 1929, Eady was on the Auckland City Council. He was enthusiastic about libraries, and in 1926 he presented Auckland Public Library with a collection of over 600 volumes of music and music literature. He continued to donate until a substantial collection of music material was established. In the 1956 New Year Honours he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for services to the community in Auckland, especially as a city councillor.[2] Business OwnerIn 1928, the firm, now Lewis Eady Limited, moved to a seven-storey building on Queen Street that had a concert chamber, soundproofed audition rooms, and studios and professional chambers for music teachers.[1] In 1930, the firm established its own radio station, 1ZR, in the Queen Street premises. Pioneer broadcasters included Aunt Daisy, Dudley Wrathall and Rod Talbot. A "radio church", the 'Friendly Road', was run by 'Uncle Tom' Garland and the Reverend Colin Scrimgeour.[1] Other ActivitiesIn 1932, Eady established the first Junior Chamber of Commerce ('Jaycees') in the southern hemisphere, and during the 1940s took leading roles in the Rotary Club of Auckland. He was also active in the Congregational church.[1] Later lifeLewis Alfred Eady died at Remuera on 21 April 1965, survived by his wife and son and daughter.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{DNZB|title=Lewis Alfred Eady|first= Fay|last= Hercock|id=4e1|accessdate=23 April 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Eady, Lewis Alfred}}{{NewZealand-musician-stub}}2. ^{{London Gazette |issue=40671 |date=2 January 1956 |page=44 |supp=y }} 10 : 1891 births|1965 deaths|New Zealand philanthropists|New Zealand musicians|People from Auckland|New Zealand Officers of the Order of the British Empire|20th-century New Zealand businesspeople|20th-century New Zealand musicians|Auckland City Councillors|20th-century philanthropists |
