MR. THOMAS ROCHE. By the unexpected passing of Mr. Thomas Roche at an early hour on Thursday morning, Mackay and dis trict has lost another of its pioneers. At first the late Mr. Roche was not disposed to regard his state of health as being serious but when medical assistance was called it was found that he was in very bad condition. His daughter, Mrs. R. H Jarrett, nursed him assiduously after hearing the doctor's verdict, but despite every care he sank gradually to a peaceful end within a few days. Born at Aldershot, England, he had passed his 80th birthday. In early boy hood he resided with relatives in Bally Landers, County Limerick, Ireland, and left for Australia as a lad of 16 years, landing in Rockhampton, Coming on to Mackay a few years later he followed various occupations in the sugar industry. In the early days, he transported machinery for the former Homebush sugar mill, and later, after his mar riage, in 1886, he took up a cane farm at Marian, which he carried on for nearly a quarter of a century. He was one of the outstanding personal ities in the sugar industry and was one of the chief promoters of the Marian mill, of which he subsequently became chairman of directors, a posi- tion he occupied in 1906-07 and 1908, He continued on the board for many years. He took over the license of Tat- tersall's (now the Hotel Ambassador) just prior to the last war. In 1916 he relinquished the hotel business and returned to cane growing once again at Owens Creek. He was one of the principal promoters of a railway to that centre. His son, Harry, is still on the farm at Owen's Creek. He lost his right arm about 12 years ago, but still carried on in the occu pation which he liked best. He retired about eight years ago. Residing quietly in Gregory-street he was a well-known figure in the city. Besides his interests in the Marian mill he was a shareholder in the Mackay Meat and Bacon Association He married Miss Catherine Murphy who came from Lancashire to Mac- kay 56 years ago. He leaves a family of five sons and two daughters. They are; Messrs. Thomas (Wandaru), Wil liam (Mirani), Garry (Dalby), Cyril (Silent Grove), and Harry Roche (Owens Creek), Mesdames J. McGarry (Macallster-street), and R. H. Jarrett, residing at the home. One daughter. Mrs. N. O'Neill, died about two years ago. There are 15 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. The funeral on Thursday was largely attended by representative men of the city and district. The services at St. Patrick's Church and the graveside were conducted by Monsignor Rowan and Father Keneally respectively, The pall-bearers were: Messrs. M. O'Neill J. O'Neill, Kev Roche, C. Roche, Ken Roche and Kev McGarry, grandsons of deceased. There were numerous wreaths and floral tributes and many messages of condolence from friends abroad. __ |
