Mr. Greenwood had been ailing for some time and passed peacefully away at his resid- ence on Tuesday morning last at the age of 76. The late Mr. Greenwood was born at Burnley, Lancashire, England. He started his working career when only a lad, and at the age of 18 was 'overlooker' in a cot- ton factory at Burnley, which posi- tion he held until he sailed for Aus- tralia in 1876. Leaving England on Xmas day on the sailing ship 'Scot- tish Night,' he landed at Rockhampton after 110 days voyage. He then went to the Palmer Goldrush and was also present at numerous other goldrushes. From the goldflelds he went to cen- tral West Queensland where he took up tank and dam sinking and it was not long before he was manager for H. Hudson a contractor in that line. Three Government dams, one at Mut- taburra township and two on Mut- taburra-Winton road were built under his supervision. While working on Lerida station he first met his wife and was married at Mt. Cornish, Mut- taburra, on September, 10 1887. He later went to Croydon where for some time he was engaged in mining and then several years was hotel pro- prietor. After his stay at Croydon, he, with his wife and family went to Chillagoe where he followed mining and smelter work. The deceased came to Proserpine in 1913, and pur- chased 'Cricklewood' farm Glen Isla, where be resided with his wife and two sons Wallie and Ray, up till the time of his death. He leaves a wife and two daughters. Mrs. W. Long land and Mrs, A Dolie, both of Pro- serpine and thirteen grandchildren, one son Arthur predeceased him twenty years ago To the bereaved relations heartfelt sympathy is ex tended in their sad loss.

The late Mrs. Greenwood was held in high esteem, throughout the Proserpine district and her sudden death came as a shock to all. Her motherly disposition was manifested in her numerous acts of kindness, and many will mourn her loss. The late Mrs. Greenwood was born at Hunting ton, Worcester, England on 23rd April 1864. On coming to Australia her first landing place was Rockhampton, where she resided for a short period. The next place of residence was Ler ida Station, where she first met her husband, the late William Greenwood. They were married at Mt. Cornish Station, Muttaburra, on 10th Septem ber, 1884, and in 1887 went to Croydon where her husband was engaged in mining and hotel keeping for a period of 21 years. On the decline of the latter place they then went to Chilla goe where they resided for about six years. It was in 1914 that Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood came to Proserpine and purchased Cricklewood farm, which has now been held by the Greenwood family for 21 years. Her husband predeceased her by six years. The deceased leaves a family of six sons and two daughters, George, Fred, Richmond, Percy, Wal ter and Roy, Mrs. W. Longland and Mrs. A. F. Dobe. Two sons, Arthur and William predeceased her by some years. The funeral which was very largely attended moved from St Paul's Church ot England. Rev. T. C. Kernke conducted the services, both at the church and at the graveside. A mem orial service was held in the church on Sunday night
