Deceased, who was 74 years ot age, was a native of Running Stream (N.S.W.). He arrived in Mackay with his wife and young family in 1910, and took up land in the Gorge, Finch Hatton, where he resided until his death. He was a very highly esteemed and successful farmer, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need of assistance or advice. Of a retiring disposition, the late Mr. Oliver was loved and respected by the whole community. His wife predeceased him 23 years ago, and he was left to rear a large family of five daughters and four sons, to whom the sympathy of this community is extended. The daughters are: Mesdames Shew(Garget), Comerford (Finch Hatton), Curran (Mackay), Nielsen (Nebo), andMiss Nellie, who resided with her father till his death. The sons are: Steve (Trueman), George, Dave, and Jim (The Gorge). The last-named has answered his country's call and is leaving for camp in a few days. The late Mr. Oliver could be truly described as one of Nature's gentlemen.
