David Chaplin Sterry (8 July 1832 – 26 September 1904) was an English-born Australian politician and miner, who served as a member of both the Victorian Legislative Council and the Victorian Legislative Assembly.[1] He was also a Justice of the peace.[2]

Biography

Sterry was born on 8 July 1832 in Southwold, England.[1] His parents were William Sterry and Mary Sterry (née Chaplin).[3]

He emigrated to Bendigo in 1853. He worked as a miner, investing in multiple companies and pioneering quartz reef mining.[4] He served on Bendigo City Council from 1876 to 1888, including as mayor from 1878 to 1879.[4][2]

In 1859, Sterry married a widow.[2]

He was a Marong Shire councillor from 1888 to 1903, serving as president several times.[4]

He was elected to the Northern Province at the 1882 Victorian Legislative Council election.[5] He resigned from the council to stand for the Assembly in March 1889, triggering the 1889 Northern Province colonial by-election.[6]

Sterry was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly for the new seat of Sandhurst South at the 1889 Victorian colonial election.[7] This seat was abolished before 1904 election. He did not contest another seat due to poor health.[8]

Sterry died on 26 September 1904 from a stroke. He had a wife and 3 sons.[4]
