| Personal Notes: |
|
After the family had moved to Biarra, in 1887 Elizabeth returned to Ipswich for the birth of James. He was enrolled at Biarra School in September 1892 at the age of fIve and left in December 1901. He lived with his parents at Biarra until 1912, when he moved to the Kumbia district after selecting Taabinga Resumption land at Glencliffe.
James married his cousin, Elsie, and they had two daughters and a son. In 1928 the family leased their property and moved to Kingaroy where James worked at the Kingaroy Butter Factory. In 1932 they returned to their property 'Surrey Hills' at Glencllffe. During their absence a new school had been built at Glencliffe, the previous one having been blown down by a windstorm prior to 1928. In 1940 a property was purchased near Kingaroy and the sale of the Glencliffe interests finalised in 1943. James farmed the Kingaroy block until 1945 when it was sold and the family moved to a home in Kingaroy. At the same time a grazing property was purchased at Gordonbrook. In 1948, after selling the Kingaroy and Gordonbrook properties, James and Elsie moved to Gordon Park, Brisbane, and later to Lutwyche where he was residing when he died. James was keen on sport, especially cricket, athletics (foot running) and tennis, and won bowling trophies for cricket and awards for 75 and 100 yards events in athletics. He was an original member of the Kumbia Progress Association formed in 1913. His particular interest was horse bloodlines and he was an enthusiastic supporter ofthe Kumbia Race Club, where he raced his horses as well as at club meetings throughout the South Bumett District. |
