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.
