Mr. Greenwood had been ailing for some time and passed peacefully away at his resid- ence on Tuesday morning last at the age of 76. The late Mr. Greenwood was born at Burnley, Lancashire, England. He started his working career when only a lad, and at the age of 18 was 'overlooker' in a cot- ton factory at Burnley, which posi- tion he held until he sailed for Aus- tralia in 1876. Leaving England on Xmas day on the sailing ship 'Scot- tish Night,' he landed at Rockhampton after 110 days voyage. He then went to the Palmer Goldrush and was also present at numerous other goldrushes. From the goldflelds he went to cen- tral West Queensland where he took up tank and dam sinking and it was not long before he was manager for H. Hudson a contractor in that line. Three Government dams, one at Mut- taburra township and two on Mut- taburra-Winton road were built under his supervision. While working on Lerida station he first met his wife and was married at Mt. Cornish, Mut- taburra, on September, 10 1887. He later went to Croydon where for some time he was engaged in mining and then several years was hotel pro- prietor. After his stay at Croydon, he, with his wife and family went to Chillagoe where he followed mining and smelter work. The deceased came to Proserpine in 1913, and pur- chased 'Cricklewood' farm Glen Isla, where be resided with his wife and two sons Wallie and Ray, up till the time of his death. He leaves a wife and two daughters. Mrs. W. Long land and Mrs, A Dolie, both of Pro- serpine and thirteen grandchildren, one son Arthur predeceased him twenty years ago To the bereaved relations heartfelt sympathy is ex tended in their sad loss.
