Events in Alexander Mervyn HIMSTEDT (1910 - 1950)'s life
Date Age Event Place Notes Src
23 Dec 1910 Alexander Mervyn HIMSTEDT was born Esk, Queensland, Australia 1911/C10888
04 Jul 1936 25 Married Mary (Molly) Isobel FRY (aged 23) Gladstone, Queensland, Australia 17
Jun 1950 39 Alexander Mervyn HIMSTEDT died Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 1950/27442 17
Personal Notes:
Alex was born in Esk, the last surviving son of Ada and Fred. Interestingly but sadly, three brothers died at the age of 3-4 years, highlighting the health risks a child ran, less than a century ago! He enrolled for his primary schooling at Yarraman and went on from there to Gatton Agricultural College. He played cricket, tennis and rugby league well and was an outstanding footrunner.

Taking an interest in the land and its associated industries, he became a dairy factory manager and was first employed at Esk. He moved to the Gladstone factory where he met and married Molly Fry in 1936. They eventually had a family of four children.

Alex and Molly were very keen ballroom dancers and took every opportunity to involve
themselves in this past time. From Gladstone, they moved to Wowan, southwest of Rockhampton, just a fortnight before the Second World War broke out. They were there for ten years when Alex contracted encephalitis, which brought to an end, the career ofthe father of a very young family before he had reached his fortieth birthday.

Molly suffered ill health for many years and died in 1998.
