WILKS-In loving memory of my dearly beloved wife, Anna Wilks, who departed this life on February 12. 1929.
A tender chord of memory
Is sadly touched to-day;
Remembrance links the golden chain,
That binds us till we meet again.
(Inserted by her loving husband, Richard Wilks.)

WILKS--In loving memory, of our dear mother, who departed this life on February 12, 1929.
We do not forget her, nor do we intend,
We thought of her dearly and will to the end;
In silence she suffered and patiently bore.
Till God called her, home to suffer no more.

The death of Mrs. Richard Wilks occurred at her residence, Ropeley, early on Tuesday morning. The late Mrs. Wilks had been in indifferent health for a number of years, and about four weeks ago she was admitted to the Gatton Private Hospital, but was subsequently removed to her home. She was born in Ipswich on February 19, 1862, and was 67 years of age. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. George Ishmael Chant, Eastvale, Purga.
She was married to Mr. Richard Wilks on May 14, 1884, and settled at Hamstead for a number of years, later removing to Rosevale, where Mr. Wilks was appointed manager of the late Mr. J. Cribbs property. With her husband she removed to Ropeley in 1898. She was a member of the Deep Gully Congregational Church since its foundation in 1902. Imbued with high Christian principles, she quietly laboured, helping the various organisations by kindly advice and assistance. The funeral took place to the Gatton Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, and was largely attended. Rev. A. Trotman officiated at the graveside. Besides her husband, she is survived by three daughters-Mrs H. G Ashton (Atherton), Mrs. W. Clarke and Mrs. A. H. Clarke (Lower Tent Hill)-and four sons-Messrs. George, Sydney and Joseph (Lower Tent Hill), and Harold (Ropeley)-and 14 grandchildren.

Mr George Ishmael Chant, of Purga, died suddenly at his residence yesterday (our Ipswich correspondent wired last night). From information to hand it appears that the deceased gentleman yesterday morning went out into his garden, and not returning in a reasonable time, his wife sent a lad employed at the house to look for him. The lad found deceased lying on his back. Assistance was speedily procured and the deceased was carried into the house, but he was past all human aid. The late Mr Chant who was 75 years of age was one of the early pioneers of the district, having lived at Purga for nearly 40 years. He is survived by a widow and grown-up family.

THE LATE MR. GEORGE ISHMAEL CHANT.
SOME INTERESTING REMINISCENCES.

An intimate acquaintance of the late Mr. Geo. Ishmael Chant, of Eastvale, Purga, whose death was recently reported in the ' Queensland Times" has contributed the following :—
The late Mr. Chant was one of those highly respected pioneers, who saw much of Queensland's growth and development. In an interview some years ago Mr. Chant said :-I landed on Queensland shores on Sunday morning, February 8th, 1857. My father, mother, brother, and myself left Southampton on November 1856 in the huge sailing vessel, Parsee, which had in all 500 intending Australian settlers, and it took 12 weeks to complete the voyage. I regret to say that during the voyage my brother died, and had a watery grave. The crowd on board was a jolly lot and very agreeable. On one occasion, two Irishmen had a slight disagreement, and agreed to settle it with fists. Mr. Norris, first-mate of the ship, who was a strongly built man, endeavoured to arbitrate in his usual kind manner, but fell into trouble and had to stand his ground. Eventually he gave both men, a thrashing and both decided that the first-mate was champion after fighting the two of them. Summing it up, the voyage was a peaceful and enjoyable one. Anchoring in Moreton Bay we transhipped into small steamers, and set out for Brisbane. The shores were swarmed with wild blacks, and Brisbane, with its unformed streets, atrociously kept shops, and houses few and far between, was anything but encouraging.
Bullock teams were the means of conveying luggage, goods, &c., and may I say "passengers." Our captain gave us an opportunity of seeing an exhibition of boomerang throwing by the blacks, which greatly amused and interested us. I, with my father, received employment with Messrs. Lang and Hunter on their station at Chinchilla. At "Limestone" (Ipswich) we had to wait a week for the bullock drays to load. Where the Central gardens are now were the brickfields worked by the late Mr. T. Weldon, an old friend of mine. Mr. Solway and his three sons, relatives of mine, received the contract for clearing six miles of road from Limestone to Six Miles Creek, this being the first instalment of making the Brisbane-road. Ipswich was a small place known as Limestone, and North Ipswich was unknown. After working for 12 months at Chinchilla my father contracted to draft 5000 sheep. We travelled from Glengallon to Gowrie, near Toowoomba, then to Old Myall Creek, now called Dalby, and from there to Chinchilla. Mr. Matthew Goggs previously owned Chinchilla Station, and sold it to Messrs. Lang and Hunter for £40,000. Mr. Goggs, a personal friend of my father, often stayed with us and gave us some valuable instruction and information about Queensland. During our stay in Chinchilla we had many encounters with the blacks, and were on the place at the time of the terrible murder of the Fraser family by the natives. An amusing event occurred one day when my father took his flint gun to shoot a hawk, and the bird falling was quickly picked up by one of the blacks who brought it over to us; he was anxious for an explanation about the gun, remarking, "Bell standum that feller, thunder, lighting bird frightem, he die; devil that feller." A plain at Chinchilla was christended "Chant's Plain." The blacks being too treacherous we left Chinchilla, went to Ipswich, and took up land in the Basin Pocket, which was considered the site of the future site of Ipswich, and a street, still known as Chant street, was called after my father. Leaving our future wealth behind us, as we thought, we went to Mount Flinders, and earned a substantial cheque at shearing, in 1859.
In that year Queensland got Separtion from New South Wales. The first Governor appointed was Sir George Bowen, and Queensland was proclaimed a colony. Two or three years later we returned to Ipswich and my father received an engagement in planting trees in the Ipswich park, most of which are still thriving in remembrance. I was in charge of Cribb and Foote's store in the cellar, which was a small place at that time but is now one of the most up to-date, in Queensland. The only sports in those days were the races held at the old racecourse, Ipswich, and large crowds of people invariably assembled there. On one occasion a cheap jack ventured in with all sorts of rubbish in the form of jewellery; one of the spectators knocked down the stand, jewellery was scattered in all directions and a chase was given for the "jack" who was wise enough to make a quick exit. The crowd followed him with sticks, stirrup irons &c., and, after a long chase, he was rescued at the hands of the police. In the mid-sixties the big riot took place in Brisbane, and was the cause of much anxiety. Government officials were sworn in as special constables. Batons made expressly were supplied, and white calico sashes were used to distinguish the constables from the crowd. One night the alarm was given that a mob intended attacking Government House. Police Magistrate Massie got on top of a cask to read the Riot Act, when a stone was thrown, and hit him in the eye. The Commissioner at once shouted "charge" and the mob vanished. In 1861 I joined the ranks of the benedicts purchased a farm on Purga Creek and went in principally for cotton growing and dairying. Cotton growing was a money-making industry and the rally after 1868, when the Homestead Act was passed. I took up another 420 acres of grazing land at Teviot Brook. Selling out my farm on Purga Creek, I purchased Eastvale at Purga and settled there, where I have lived ever since. Taking a trip to see my land at Teviot Brook I found Government roads cut through it, and on interviewing the late Mr. M'Farlane, who was the Minister for Lands (Mr. Dutton), I was advised that if I took up another piece of land my money would he available. Later, I applied for a portion of the reserve adjoining my property at Purga, but was informed that it was agreed to always hold that as a reserve. Later on the reserve was given to the blacks at Deebing Creek and my chance appeared hopeless.
The first railway opened from Ipswich to Bigg's Camp, now known as Grandchester. Ipswich began to grow and the town went to a different direction than we had expected, and so our speculation in the Basin Pocket was useless. The railways quickly increased in number and mileage, and Ipswich, Brisbane and other towns advanced rapidly. The State railway works were at one time a few small sheds on the banks of the Bremer, but later on the Government saw fit to erect shops equal to anything of their kind in Australia. I would like to ask some of my brother pioneers to compare the train conveniences at the present time with those of the days of old. After the death of my mother, my father lived with me until his "call." I have had long experience in cattle and I find the Shorthorn is the best cow for the dairy, both for quality and quantity of milk. The Jersey comes a good second. I have taken various prizes at the Ipswich show for horses, cattle, as well as butter, pot plants and various other things. Under the direction of the late Mr. John Mahon, subsequently principal of the Agricultural College at Gatton, when he had the travelling dairy, I learned cheese making and gained useful knowledge about dairying in general. During my many years experience, Queensland has gone ahead wonderfully, but is still in her infancy. The Goverment are right in providing the country with railways in agricultural areas, as it will never pay the farmer or dairyman to have to convey his produce, &c., for miles to a railway station. With increased railway facilities there is land to settle thousands of people. Irrigation is of great importance to Queensland. I would like other pioneers to give an account of their experiences as it is always interesting to review past events."
Mr. Chant resided for 55 years at Purga. He was treasurer for the State school and the church for many years, was interested in politics, and every movement for the progress of the district. Neighbours of many years standing are Mr. James Lucas, and Mr. Joseph Harding, who still survive. His wife and family of 12 survive him — three children predeceased him. Surviving sons are Mr. Issac Chant, Roma; Mr Joseph Chant Townsville; Messrs Anthony, Harry, George and Arthur Chant, Ipswich; Mrs. R. Wilks, Ropeley, Gatton; Miss Chant; Mrs. W. I. Statham, Mr. F. F. Smith, Miss Millie Chant—all of Ipswich, and Mrs. F. F. Gamlen of Linville.

Alexander Massey, a boy about twelve years of age, convicted of disorderly conduct, i.e., throwing water over an old man and woman while they were asleep, was fined 40s., in default forty-eight hours' imprisonment. Arthur Hoolahan, another boy about the same age as Massey, charged with participating in the same offence, was remanded until this morning, in order that his father may appear to sign the usual bond for the maintenance of the boy, whom he wishes to have sent to the hulk reformatory.

Alexander Massey, a youth about l8 years of age, was charged with being a vagrant having no lawful means of support. Sub-inspector Durham, who prosecuted, stated that owing to complaints having been made concerning the conduct of persons in Victoria Park the police visited the park early that morning and found the accused, together with another man named Thomas Meyers and two girls, sleeping in a gully without any bedding. In reply to the bench, the accused stated that he was a painter by trade, and had only left his employment on Saturday last ; he also stated that he had been working for one employer for over two years. The bench remanded the prisoner until next morning that inquiries might be made. Thomas Meyers, an old offender, only a few days out of St. Helena, was also charged as a vagrant having no lawful means of support. The bench, in consideration that he has only just come of gaol, consented to give Meyers a fortnight to clear out of town.

MAN AND A GIRL.

SENTENCED FOR VAGRANCY.

Alexander Massey (58), and Ivy Baldwin (20) , were both, charged with vagrancy at the Casino Police Court to-day. Baldwin, it was stated, had become acquainted with Massey, who was a married man and a grandfather. In Brisbane one night, after they had been to the pictures, an altercation took place, and Massey was stabbed four times. The girl went to gaol. Massey went to Casino. On the girl's release from gaol, Massey went to Brisbane and brought Baldwin back with him. He refused to work, and was in the company of the girl night and day. The pair slept in the parks. Massey's wife and children were left to the mercy of friends and neighbors. Massey was sentenced to three months' hard labor, and Baldwin to a similar term. Her sentence was suspended on the condition that she left the State and did not return for a year.

End of a Sordid Romance.

Alexander Massey, an aged married man, he is nearly 60, whose name has figured prominently, in Casino Police Court reports of late in connection, with that of a young Brisbane girl named Ivy Baldwin, aged 20 (who did gaol for stabbing the fellow in Brisbane) again came up before the P.M. under the vag on Thursday. Massey was in the box, making out a very good case from his point of view when the P.M. took a hand. Herewith:- P.M.: In this letter you wrote to the girl when she was in Brisbane you say you have two jobs, one in Grafton and one in Casino. This is what you wrote: 'Do write back and say you will come, it is lovely down here; Casino , is a very fine place; the pubs shut at 6 p.m. With best love. . , , . ., Little girl, I love you! and long for you each day. Little girl, how I love you! Although many miles away. Little girl, in the underworld yon promised to be true; little girl, how I love you, I would like to come back to you. I hope you are getting well treated by the boy you turned me down for. . .I could not stop in Brisbane knowing that you would have no more to do with me, but with somebody else. . . . I feel so lonely every night without you.' Now, is it a fact that you were in Carrington and other parks with this girl in the day time?- Yes, I was on seats , there with her. Have you been on the golf links? - Yes, just watching the play. P.M.: Did you misconduct , yourself with her on any of the parks or the golf links? - There is no truth in it, so help me God. Why did you want to bring this girl down here when your wife was here?- I have been connected with her for about four years, for which, I am sorry. What furniture did you provide for your wife - We had nothing when we went to the house. Maud Massey, wife of the defendant, was sworn. P.M.: Do.you know that your husband has been carrying on with this young women, Ivy Baldwin, for four years? - I did not. (To the defendant): You deceiver. In one of his letters to her he says, 'You are the : only girl in the world I ever, loved. ' - He can't, think much of me. Look at all the kisses he sent her in this letter.- Um. Do you know, that he paid £1 for her board, while, you were starving? - No. Well, he has sworn to it. His evidence also shows that he has been carrying on with her for four years. - 'Four years! That is unknown to me. He has sworn to it.- He told me he only knew her for 18 months. Do you know that he went to Brisbane and brought this girl back with him?- I was ill in a hospital when that happened. Is it news to you that he was keeping this girl when you were, starving? - Yes. Mrs. Massey stated that her husband slept at home on September 17. P.M.: His evidence says: A week prior to the 19th instant I will not say where I slept each night, but wherever I slept it was with Ivy Baldwin. The defendant: I misunderstood the question. P.M.: The defendant has not satisfied me that he has lawful means of support. He is sentenced to three months hard labor in Grafton gaol. Ivy Baldwin, 20, appeared on remand on a similar charge, when the public and press were excluded from the hearing. She was sentenced to three months light labor in Grafton gaol, to be suspended under the First Offenders' Act on her entering into her own recognisances in the sum of £10 to be of good behaviour for 12 months. The P.M. added that it would be a breach of the recognisances if she was found in New South Wales in that period.
