Innes, an able man of moderate views, was an excellent treasurer.
When he first took office the finances of the colony were in a very serious condition, and he carried a heavy burden during his five and a half years of office.
But neither parliament nor people were prepared to face the extra taxation involved, though Innes put the position quite clearly in his financial statement made early in 1862.
With his thick white hair, flowing beard, and plastic cutlery protruding from his bedraggled coat, Dr. Frederick Rush Innes was often mistaken for a homeless man. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Innes enjoyed the give-and-take of offering his pieces to gallery owners for exhibit and sale.
Innes leaves three sisters, Adelaide Peale of Concord, N.H., Nancy Ross of San Diego, and Helen of Boulder, Colo.
