BLUFF DOWNS HOMESTEAD

Joseph Hann drowned in the Burdekin River while crossing near the small town of Dalrymple. His wife Elizabeth (nee Sharpe) did not recover from the shock of her husband's death and her health declined, she died 5 months later on 24 June 1864.

Although it is believed that Joseph's body was not recovered after he drowned, Elizabeth and their grandson William Jnr are known to be buried on the bank of the Basalt River below the Bluff Downs Homestead.

OCEAN GROVE
At the age of 83 a very old resident
Mr James C. Hann, died on Monday.
He had lived at Ocean Grove for over
twenty years ; prior to coming here he
was at Brandy Creek for a good num-
ber of years, He was one of a very
old family of early pioneers and had
considerable station property in North
Queensland at one time. He was one
of the first to overland stock from the
Gulf of Carpentaria with his brother
the late Frank Hann. He was greatly
respected and until his wife died
some two years ago he took a promi-
nent part in public affairs. He was
President of the Progress Association
and also member of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
In all matters of public interest he
was a keen critic and generous to a
fault. He will be greatly missed.
