Biographical Notes
Fr T.J. Linane, From Abel to Zundolovich, Vol. 2: Biographies of Priests on the Australian Scene up to 1900, 1980, p 124:
Daly, Hubert, SJ, Irish
Revered Teacher at East Melbourne and Xavier, Kew
Regrettably we cannot say anything about origin and studies save that he was born in County Galway on 2 July 1845 and that he was probably a brother of Oliver Daly SJ. He appears to have come to the Melbourne scene in 1880 or earlier. For more than 18 years he was a teacher at St. Patrick's College, East Melbourne and served intermittently in that capacity at Xavier College, Kew.
The following years, from 1900 (circa) were spent at the Jesuit College, Seven Hills, South Australia. But what his assignments were in these years is not clear. Death claimed the soul of the 75 year old on 7 February 1918 while he was receiving medical attention in Adelaide. His remains were laid to rest in the crypt of the Seven Hills Church.
