OBITUARY
[R.
WILLIAM
MARTIN
BRABY
Proserpine has lost another
of its old residents In
the death of Mr. William
Martin Braby on 18th June.
He was in his 71st year.
Born at Habana, near
Mackay, Mr. Braby spent
the early part of his life in
that district, and at Ayr,
where his father was en-
Consulting Engineer
in the erection of
sugar mills in both these
areas.
Mr. Braby, who leaves a
grown-up family, came to
Proserpine in 1912. After a
brief stay he departed to
accept employment "experting"
at wool scours in the
West. In 1914 he returned
to Proserpine to take
work as a loco, driver at
the Proserpine Mill, a posi
tion he occupied for many
years. When the Mill took
over the powerhouse, Mar
tin undertook a position as
one of the drivers at the
Mill's power station. This
position he held until fail
ing health enforced his retirement
a little over three
years ago.
During his term of employment
at the Mill, Martin
assisted many young
men to obtain their certi
ficates of competency for
loco, driving.
He was a member of the
Oddfellows Lodge, and, in
his younger days, took a
keen interest in fishing and
shooting
in 1916 he married Miss
Maude Bracken, of Proserpine.
He was ever a quiet, un
assuming man, very fond of
his family and small group
of friends, and deepest
sympathy is extended to his
bereaved wife, two sons,
Lyall and Henry, and two
daughters, Mrs. F. W. F.
Peterson, of Innisfail, and
Mrs. Jack Faust, of Proserpine.
The funeral moved from
St. Paul's Church of Eng
land, Rev. Lambton, of
Bowen, officiating at the
services.
