Mackay Mercury 1 Dec 1913
GEORGE IRONSIDE
In the death of Mr. George Iron-
side, which occurred at his residence,
Nebo Road, on Saturday forenoon.
Mackay lost one of its earliest pion-
eers, and one who did much for the
advancement of the district. The
deceased, who attained the age of
71 years, was a native of Scotland.
He came to Mackay about 1870 from
Peak Downs, where he had been en-
gaged as a carrier. Upon arrival
here he pursued a similar calling,
being engaged with his team between
Mackay and outlying stations. Dur-
ing that time he took up a selection
in the neighbourhood of the Barrie
Estate, Eton. About 1880 he sel-
ected "Aberdeen," also in the Eton
district, and engaged in cane grow-
ing, which he continued up till four
or five years ago, when he took up
his residence in own. The deceased
was one of the promoters of the
North Eton Central Mill, one of the
first two central mills to be erected
in the district. He took an active
interest in the progress of the fac-
tory from its inception up to the time
of his death, and occupied a seat on
the directorate. Of a jovial nature
the late Mr. Ironside made firm
friends of all with whom he came in
contact, and the news of his death
will be learnt with keen regret. The
deceased took ill a couple of months
ago, and had been ailing ever since.
He was twice married, his first wife
predeceasing him 13 or 14 years ago,
while his second wife, who was the
relict of the late Mr. H. Langford, of
Eton, survives him. He leaves a
family of four, three daughters and
one son. The former are Mesdames
H. Robertson (Mackay), T. Wolfe
(New South Wales), and T. Cowan
(Mirani), while Mr. George Ironside,
his son, is farming at Eton. The
funeral took place yesterday after-
noon, the Rev. D. Galloway officiating
at the graveside.

District News
ETON FARMS (From Our Correspondent.)
George Ironside's farm, known as the Brightly Estate, purchased by Mr. Ironside about two years ago, has been subdivided and fenced off. Forty acres of the best plant cane Mr. Iron- side ever produced and 40 acres of good first rations grown on old land that has been following for 20 years should return a good tonnage not withstanding, the present unfavourable outlook new yards and new stables have been erected, and the old Brightly homestead at the big lagoon has been improved and added to, and taken together there is a look of comfort and solidity around.

Daily Mercury (Mackay) 21 May 1930
A serious, accident, an almost cer
tain fatality, was narrowly avoided
on Saturday afternoon by presence
of mind and — luck. Mr. George
Ironside, of Brightlea, Eton, was
driving home, accompanied by his
wife, when approaching the Juliet-
street level crossing his attention was
momentarily distracted, causing him
to look away. On turning his eyes
back to the road the rail motor
loomed up before him, speeding on
its way to Eton. He immediately
applied the brake and brought his
car to a standstill within a foot of
the passing motor. Mr. Ironside;
acknowledges that had an accident
occurred the blame would have been
his own.


Daily Mercury (Mackay) 27 Feb 1931
THROWN FROM HORSE.
Thrown from a horse on Wednes-
day, George Ironside (58), farmer, of
Brightly, suffered an injury to his
right hip. The Ambulance transported
him to a private hospital.

Daily Mercury (Mackay) 16 Dec 1936
It was a great shock to the
community when the sudden death of
Mr. George Ironside of Eton . (late of
Brightly) was announced. The late
Mr. Ironside was speaking to a friend
about midday on Friday, when he
dropped dead. He had not been In the
best of health for many a year, but
you never heard him complaining. He
was one of the oldest residents of
Brightly. It was just before the crush
ing that the late Mr. Ironside disposed
of his farm to two of his sons, Hugh
and Percy. This farm belonged tp the
late Mr. Ironside's father, who will
be remembered by the old people of the.
district. To his sorrowing wife and
family we extend our deepest sym
pathy.
Brlghtly, December 12.
