Note 2: Burial info James Christie Event date: 22/01/1924 Event type: Death registration Registration details: 1924/C/653 Mother: Annie Riddock Father/parent: John Christie Daily Mercury (Mackay) 23 January 1924 OBITUARY The death took place yesterday afternoon under circumstances most tragic in character of Mr. James Christie, chairman of directors of Marsh & Webster, Limited . About 11 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Christie and Mr. Galletly one of his co-directors, had occasion to make a business visit to Mirani. The jour- ney out was somewhat unpleasant, owing to the oppressiveness of the weather and the fact that the wind was following, but lunch was taken at the hotel and afterwards some time was spent transacting business in the district. The return journey was very pleasant, as the tempera- ture had fallen and driving into the wind proved quite enjoyable. At Walkerston a visit was paid to the store of Lamberts Limited,and as the two visitors were conversing with Mr. James Lambert, Mr. Chris- tie suddenly put out his arm towards his companion and sank to the floor. He was quite conscious when he felt and remarked that he would be all right in a moment or two. A cushion was placed under his head, but he said it would be better if he were to remain flat on the ground. A moment or two later he passed quietly away. Mr.Galletly had hurried off for the Walkerston Am- bulance when he saw the nature of the attack and it was in his absence that death took place. He states that no indication whatever was given of the tragedy that was to happen. Mr. Christie was in the best of spirits throughout, enjoyed his lunch and as they were entering Walker- ston remarked that he had put in a very pleasant day. Apoplexy was probably the cause of death, aggra- vated by the intense heat of the past few days. The body was subse- quently brought to town. The deceased, who was 62 years of age, came to Mackay by the ship Hannah Landells in 1882 and in company with his brother John, who is still here, entered the employment of Messrs. Marsh & Webster in the drapery department. He remained with the firm throughout, rising to the position of managing director. When the firm was changed into a limited liability company he became a shareholder, and upon the death of Mr. Marsh was appointed a direc- tor. When the late Mr. J.V. Brown died Mr. Christie succeeded him as managing director and con- tinued to hold that position until his untimely death. Deceased was one of the most prominent of Mackay's public men he was actively asso- ciated with, the public life of the community to a degree that not many men can boast, and gave his time. ………….. He leaves a widow and family of six daughters and four sons, viz, Mrs. J. M. Evans (Rockhampton), Mrs. A.E. Croft ( Warwick), Misses Ivy, Ethel. Enid, and Nita, and Messers James and John Christie,who are in business , in Mackay: Charles (ac countant with Mr. G. E. Jones), and Alex., who is accountant in the A.B.C.
