Note 1: Proserpine Guardian 14 July 1944 OBITUARY AUGUST HINSCHEN Death claimed another of our old pioneers on Friday night of last week, in the person of August Hlnschen, who passed away at his residence. The late Mr. Hlnschen was 70 years of age at the time of his death. He was born at Bowen and came to Proserpine on the 4th June, 1894, with three of his brothers, Peter, John and Fred. The four brothers selected land where Mr. Norman Hlnschen is now farming, and they went into partnership and commenced cane growing. The partnership continued some years then each of the four brothers went to different properties. Peter went to Myrtle Creek, John to Strathdiekie, August went on to the farm where Mr. Baulch is now cane growing, and Fred remained at "Acacia Vale," he later disposed of this farm to his nephew, Mr. Norman Hlnschen. The late Mr. August Hinschen retired from farming about ten years ago, when his health at that time was troubling him and he has since lived at his residence at the corner of Hinschen and Marathon Streets. The late Mr. Hinschen did not take any part in public life, although he was always interested in the welfare of the district. In his young days he was a noted athlete (most of the Hinschens were). In the early days when ploughing matches were popular in the district he was acclaimed the champion ploughman of the district. Old hands say he was an exceptionally good ploughman. Deceased leaves a family of six - three daughters, Mrs. T. Dunne, Thèlma and Joan; and three sons, Willie, Percy and Ted. A brother, Fred., also resides in Proserpine. The funeral moved from the Church of England at 4.30 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Rev. Thorpe of Bowen, read the last sad rites at the graveside. His wife predeceased him on the 22nd December, 1937, having died in Sydney, and was cremated there. Her remains were brought to Proserpine and they were buried with her husband on Saturday afternoon.
