Note 3: See burial record Morning Post (Cairns) 12 Feb 1904 Death of Mrs W. H. Collin- son. On Tuesday morning when the death of Mrs W. H. Collinson was known in Cairns, the flags throughout the town were flown half-mast high, expressions of regret and sympathy with Mr Collinson and family were heard on all sides, and it was a foregone conclusion that the funeral cortege would be one of the largest ever seen in the district. The deceased, who at the time of her death was 50 years of age, had been a resident for over 27 years, and was universally respected and loved through- out the length and breadth of the Cairns district. The hospitality of Emerald Park was proverbial, and in the olden days, before the advent of the tramway, open house was kept. It was nothing unusual for 20 or 30 people to sit down to dinner at least four days out of the week, and no one thought of passing Emerald Park to or from town without calling and par- ticipating in the lavish hospitality which prevailed. It was the rendezvous of the whole district, and nearly the whole of the younger-generation at Hambledon, Wright's Creek, and Mulgrave looked upon the late Mrs Collinson as a second mother. This fact was testified to in a most eloquent way when the service at the grave side was being read. At least half of those present completely broke down, and the funeral service was read amidst tears and sobs that almost ren- dered the service inaudible. A special tram conveyed about 60 Cairns residents to Emerald Park on Tuesday afternoon, and when the sad procession wended its way to the Emerald Park Cemetery, at least 200 people took part in it. The coffin was smothered with flowers, wreaths, and crosses. The pall bearers were Messrs J. Lyons, M.L.A., J. Bastin, W. Hannaysee, D. O'Hara, W. Banner, and F. Lynehe. Kev. E. A. Fox read the burial service in a most impressive manner, but, as before stated, his words were hardly audible owing to the manifesta- tions of sincere grief round the grave- side. The deceased leaves a husband, two daughters, and three sons, to mourn their loss, and the utmost sympathy is extended to them in this, their dark hour.
