DEATH OF CHARLIE MOHR.
An old identity of the bush, Charlie Mohr, passed away at the Hospital on Monday last at the age of 59 years. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Rymer (Church of England) officiating at the graveside. The cause of death was an old leg trouble. Many years ago he had a leg badly broken on Pretty Bend and was in the hospital twelve months. The leg was badly set and had to be broken again and re-set, but it never got properly right and eventually caused his death. A genuine chap, Charlie was well liked. He was a native of Bowen, his parents, residing near Argyll Park in the early days, but spent most of his time in the bush, was a typical bushman, good with stock and very use ful on a station. He was em ployed by members of the Isbell family on Pretty Bend and other stations for a great number of years. He was an expert greenhide worker and could make almost anything out of that commodity.
He leaves a wife, two daughters and one son.

THE LATE GEORGE DAYES.
MAREEBA. July 18
The news of the sudden death of Mr.
George Dayes at the Mareeba, District
Hospital from pneumonia, after only
one week's illness, came, as a great
shock to his large circle of friends. The
deceased gentleman had just passed his
50th birthday, and was well and favor
ably known among the droving frater
naty in his younger days, then taking
to the butchering business. During his
last 20 odd years he carried on his
occupation of butcher, in Forsayth, Her
berton, Milaa Millaa, and Mareeba.
He was of a happy disposition, and
always had a kind word and a smile
for the youngsters. He married Miss
Louisa Meizner, whose mother (Mrs.
Meizner of Bowen) was 91 years old
last Christmas, and still able to get
about though very frail, at Bowen,
both of them being born in that North
Queensland land town ; indeed both were
....nates at Bowen.
Deceased leaves a widow and nine
children to mourn the loss of a good hus
band and father, all of whom were with
him before the end. The sons are
??m James (Bowen, married),
???e(-Millaa Millaa), Walter (Mil
la Millaa), Lewis (Atherton), Fred
(Mareeba),- Arthur (Mareeba)
???s (Tarzali). Alfred (Mareeba),
Norman (Mareeba).' The two
youngest are under 10 years of age.
Relatives include the baby grand
daughter, (child of the oldest son) ;
John William Dayes -(Townsville),
? r_; and a sister, Mrs. J. Carlson,
Ryan, near Ravenswood Junction;
the aged grandmother, Mrs. Meiz
ner (Bowen).

OBITUARY.
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;
