| Personal Notes: |
|
Jack was born in Kingaroy, the first surviving child of Frank and Ethel. He was educated at the Alice Creek School and at Ipswich Grammar School.
His school days over, he returned home to work on thefamily farm. However, before long, his country needed him and Jack served with the Army in New Guinea, some ofthat service being in 'biscuit bombers' dropping supplies from planes. When peace was declared, Jack returned to the home farm and, as well, engaged in some contract work. He eventually acquired property ofhis own at Alice Creek some three or four kilometres away. To this farm he brought his new bride, Elinor, to whom he was married in the Presbyterian Church in Ipswich. Elinor had, some years previously, taught at the Alice Creek School and together they raised a family of six girls, including a set of twins. Jack was a member of the Boyneside Rifle Club in his late teens, pre-war, and took up rifle shooting again later on. He was also a member of the Kumbia and District Memorial Hall Committee for twenty-five years, for which the main fundraising activity was the running of the annual Easter campdraft. He was a very keen horseman and following the campdrafting circuit became his relaxation. He and the family farmed on at Alice Creek until the mid 1970's when they sold and moved to Peregian Beach. Elinor still lives at that address, having been widowed when Jack became the unfortunate victim of a fishing mishap in November 1979. |
