Note 7: Burial info Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton) 8 Nov 1943 DEATH OF MR ARTHUR JENKS By the recent death of Mr Arthur Jenks, at his residence, Central Street, Mt Morgan lost one of its oldest and most respected residents. Born in York, England, 79 years ago, he came to Queensland in the British Indian Co's s.s. Jumna, landing at Rockhamp- ton in 1889. He immediately removed to Mt Morgan and secured work with the Mt Morgan Gold Mining Co. as a bricklayer in the building of the big copper stack, which is still in use by the present company. After completing the stack he was appointed clerk of works in connexion with the building of the present Technical College and Mt Morgan Post Office, two of Mt Mor- gan's outstanding buildings. Later, in the same capacity, he was sent to Bris- bane and Toowoomba. For 43 years he was a member of the Mt Morgan Masonic Lodge, holding every office in the lodge. For his work on the Mt Morgan School of Arts Committee he was made a life member. He was a foundation member of the Manchester Unity Oddfellows' Lodge, Mt Morgan, and qualified for every chair of the Order. In the early days af Mt Mor- gan he was prominent in sport. He was one of Mt Morgan's outstanding Rugby footballers. He was one of those chosen to play for Mt Morgan against the English team, and represented Mt Morgan in every interstate and inter- town match. He excelled as a foot- runner and won many handicaps. He was for a number of years an alder- man of the Mt Morgan Town Council and was among those who was elected and the last, by the vote of the rate- payer, and not under the present sys- tem. On his retirement from the Mt Morgan Gold Mining Company's ser- vice he undertook bricklaying con- tracts and the making of pavement tiles. Some of his good work can still be seen on the pavement in front of the Olympia Theatre, East Street. He died a bachelor. Like his sisters, he took a great interest in church of England affairs. He was predeceased by his three brothers, William, Thomas and Harry, and one sister, all well known in Mt Morgan in the early days of the town. He is survived by one brother, Alfred (New Zealand), and four sisters, Mesdames C. Keily (Rockhamp- ton), W. Wilkinson (Mt Morgan), and Mrs J. Gofton (Townsville), and Miss J. Jenks (Mt Morgan). His funeral, which moved from his late residence, was attended by many of his old friends. Rev. Canon Fellowes read the prayers at the house and at the grave- side.
