NORTH QUEENSLAND'S OLDEST RESIDENT. The passing of Mrs. Christina Meiz ner on Sunday last at the age of 98 years, removed from our midst one who has lived in the Bowen district since the year after its first settle ment, and who was without doubt North Queensland's oldest resident. The late Mrs. Meissner was born in Poland on Christmas Eve 1838 and after her marriage to Carl Meizuer. came to Australia in the sailing ship Lar-a-Shelli, landing at Bowen in Bowen in 1802. The township then consisted of one building, the Customs House, and a number of tents. Liquor was sold, but before being consumed it had to be tasted by the Pidice,- one of whom was father of the late Alex. Lloyd, of Invorooua. The couple trav elled to Strathmore Station by bullock team the same year, when that station was in its foundation stage soon after being taken up by the late Edward Cunningham. They had then one child, and during the voyage out an other was born, which died at sea. The couple later worked at Havilah Station, which was also in its embryo stage. Then about sixty years ago they returned to Bowen, where Carl Meizner and his eldest son selected land on the Upper Don and grew maize, which they tanked for better prices. Mrs. Meizner, like all the true pioneer women, kept the home fires burning by running a dairy with others of the growing family and sup plied the town with milk, twelve to fifteen cows being milked daily. They raised a family of thirteen children and their descendants today include 55 grandchildren, 90 great-grandchildren and 33 great-great-grandchildren. For over thirty years this fine couple lived and worked their property on the Don, retiring about 20 years ago. Carl Meiz ner passed away only a year later, and since then "Grannie.” as the old lady was affectionately known, had resided at the old home, showing that, the hard pioneering life bred stayers by retaining all her faculties and watch ing her years multiply until the cen tury mark was in sight. Full of ener gy until her short illness during last year she proved her enduring qualit ies when a fall resulted in a broken arm. She bravely bore, the pain for four days until a neighbour obtained medical aid, and did not make a sound during (be painful treatment of the Injured member, which was swollen to several times its normal size. This ordeal, however, took its toll and but for its harmful effects she would have reached her hundredth birthday, an age she greatly hoped to achieve. A more perfect example of the finest type of the nation’s pioneers could not be found to excel her in the good qualities of unbounded energy, endurance and cheerfulness in the face of adversity. She fought the battle of life with a smile through many chequered years and leaves the example of her indom itable spirit for the coming generations to ponder on. She will be long remem bered by all who knew her, and their sympathy goes out to her surviving son, Mr. Fred Meizner and four daughters, Mrs. Drinkwater (Kelsey Creek), Mrs B. Hiuschen (Proserpine) Mrs. G. Dayes (Mareeba) and Mrs. C. Cameron (Bowen). The funeral left the residence of Mrs. M. Newman at 5 p.m. on Monday, Rev. T. H. Pren tis performing the last sad rites at the graveside. Following is a list of the wreaths re ceived ;—May, Arthur and family; Emily and family; Julia and Maurice; Mrs. Budge and family; Mrs. M. Whit ton and Baby: Mr. and Mrs. B. Christofferson; Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Darwen and family; Mr. and Mrs. W. O’Donoghue; Mr. and Mrs. W. Jinks: Mr. and Mrs. G.
