Personal Notes:

The Northern Miner (Charters Towers) 25 March 1952 HARRY PORTER When Harry Porter passed away early this month within few days of his 85th birthday, one of the oldest pioneers was removed from North Queensland. He was a member of the well known Porter clan whose blood is represented in countless families in the Lower Burdekin district. Harry Porter was born at the Don River in the Bowen area in 1867, but shortly afterwards the family shifted to Euri Creek where they continued to reside tor some years. At 18 years of age, Harry Porter took a job at Inkerman Station and held It for the following 20 years. Then in partnership with his father he purchased Broughton Vale, a cattle property not far from Inkerman. In 1903 he took up the family property at Airedale, Where he resided until his death, and which is still held by members of his family. In 1898 he married Miss Margaret Mackersie. There are five surviving children of this marriage - Mesdames Lennon, Pask, Garoch, Miss Annie Porter and Mr. George Porter. His wife predeceased him In 1943. Harry Porter was a quiet natured man who knew only hard work. Born to a stern bush life he had no edu cation whatever, and consequently took no part in public life. An injury caused by a fall from a horse early in life caused Great trouble in his latter years. He was truly a pioneer, having in his boyhood and youth known the Burdekin when it was little more than a wilderness, he was one of the ten children to William and Mary Porter, of whom only three survive - Mrs Soper, Mrs Carcary and Mrs Seldon. One of his earliest recollections was seeing a younger brother taken by an alligator at Euri Creek. He also said that he Was the first man to drive a herd of cattle to Alligator Creek meatworks.
