MR. THOMAS NELSON.

Mr. Thomas Nelson, who passed away at Bundaberg last week, aged 87 years, had been connected with the Wide Bay district since its earliest settlement. He first came to Queensland about 60 years ago, with a band of New South Wales settlers, who were attracted by the richness of the Upper Burnett, of which Gayndah was then the centre. Marrying soon after his arrival he was employed for some time at Cannindah. Later he engaged in prospecting and carrying. He held the reputation of being one of the finest horsemen in Queensland, as a youth. Mrs. Nelson predeceased him by 20 years. He leaves a large family, comprising Mr. Thomas Nelson (Brisbane), Robert (Mount Morgan), William and Harold (Bundaberg), Miss Kate Nelson and Mrs. Noah Smith (Bundaberg), Mrs. Conroy (Sydney), Mrs. E. Butler (Brisbane), Mrs. Horton and Mrs. Hilliard (Bundaberg), and Mrs. Ponting (Maryborough). The funeral to the Central Cemetery at Bundaberg war largely attended, Rev. B. P Walker officiating.

IN Loving Memory of my dear wife, ELIZABETH NELSON who departed this life on 16th December, 1903.
I do not forgot you ; I loved you too dearly
For memory to fade from my life like a dream;
My lips may not speak when my heart mourns sincerely,
And my thoughts often dwell where they seldom are seen.
Inserted by by her loving husband.

IN Loving Memory of our dear mother, ELIZABETH NELSON , who departed this life on 16th December, 1903.
Mourn not for her whom God has blessed
And taken to her Heavenly rest ;
Free from all sorrow, grief and pain,
Our loss is her Eternal gain.
Another changeful year has passed,
And yet our grief is new ;
For mother dear, while life shall last
We'll ever think of you.
(Inserted by her loving sons and daughters.)

MR. GEORGE MCKEOWN

ATHERTON, May 7.—Mr. George McKeown of Atherton, passed away at the Atherton Hospital last week and his death marked another milestone in local history since he was a native of the Tableland and identified himself with the work of the pioneers and the advancement of this part of the North.

He was in his youth a timber man and cut much of the red cedar that was sent away from here in the early days. He was one of the men who actually cut the timber from where the Malanda township now stands. Men knew the value of hard work in those days and the late George McKeown was a worker in the true sense of the word, turning from one task to another with that hardihood and and resilience which gave Australians their reputation for worthiness.

He hauled timber with horse and bullock teams from the beautiful rain forests which covered the land, and grew maize at Cairns Road near Atherton on the newly cleared land. He took part in the work of bringing cattle to the coast from the big stations and like all bushmen learned how to care for stock and to butcher. He was renowned for his horsemanship and until very recently kept several well bred riding hacks. His parents had a selection at Dingo Pocket, which they cleared and farmed and young George knew the Australian bush from his earliest years. His mother, who was the usual capable bushwoman of those days had a great deal of knowledge of nursing and helped many women and children who needed care. Women who could not go away for medical attention sent for Mrs. McKeown, who set forth at once on horseback and never refused a call. On one occasion she rode alone over the mountains to Mossman to care for a mother and child. When her husband died, she took on district nursing to support her family and was always a fine and stalwart character. She lived at the old home until 1925, when she became very ill and Matron Matheson and Dr. L. J. J. Nye from the Atherton Hospital went out and brought her in to the Atherton Hospital, where she passed away.

Young George McKeown married Miss Ethel Putt of the Barron River. She died many years ago. He leaves a grown up family to mourn their loss, these are Sally (Mrs. Neary), Eva (Mrs. Hartfiel), ill, George, Bob, Fred and Jack.

The late Mr. McKeown was a great showman and was a member of the Atherton Show Society. He owned some famous horses, including well-known favourites such as Knight-Watch and Patch, he excelled at camp drafts, the figure of eights, and bending races and would put his horse at any jump. He held several gold medals for these events. He rode his last figure of eight in Ravenshoe. At the Atherton Annual show in 1947 he rode and won with Mrs. Amy Stevens in the pair of hacks, took part in the Grand Parade and again with Mrs. Stevens won the prize for best veteran lady and gentleman riders. He rode in many events with Miss May Doyle.

A service was held at St. Mary's Church of England and Rev. Brother Jones officiated and conducted the last rites at the graveside. The service in his memory held in the Masonic Hall was conducted by Worshipful Brother Spinks. People came from all over the Tableland to pay their last respects to the deceased and many beautiful flowers were received.
The late Mr. McKeown was 65 years of age.

However, before proceeding with the charge, and after a consultation with his solicitor, the Mayor (Ald. Jacob Horwitz) withdrew all four charges, the police magistrate making no order as to costs.

ECHOES OF THE PAST (1934, December 8). Warwick Daily News (Qld. : 1919 -1954), p. 3. Link to TROVE

MR. THOMAS MOGRIDGE

With the passing of Mr. Thomas Mogridge, whose death occurred in the Horwitz Ward on Sunday morning, following an attack of influenza, the Warwick district has lost another sturdy old pioneer, for the deceased was closely associated with early rural and municipal development.
Born at Filleigh, in Devon (England), in 1845, Mr. Mogridge came to Australia as a lad of 19. The trip by sailing vessel occupied six months. Shortly after his arrival in Brisbane he journeyed to Warwick by bullock dray, travelling via Cunningham Gap. His first position on the Darling Downs was on Glengallan Station, where he worked for a few months. He then proceeded to Roma, where he conducted an aerated water business. Here he married Miss Ruddell, and there were two children of the marriage (the late Mrs. Roleston, Bundaberg, and the late Mr. Thomas Mogridge, of Warwick). Deceased returned to Warwick in the early seventies, and established aerated water works and a soap and candle factory in Wantley-street. Some time after the death of his first wife he was married to Miss Hall, of Mount Sturt, who predeceased him six years ago. Mr. Mogridge retained his interest in the aerated water works for about 20 years and in the soap factory for about 50 years. He also established a branch cordial factory at Stanthorpe, and, after controlling it for some years, disposed of it to Mr. W. Clifford. For more than half a century he held large interests in farming properties in the Wiyarra and Tannymorel district (then known as Farm Creek), some of the best land on the Downs being owned by him. During this period he gained the distinction of being the first in the district to introduce the traction engine to agricultural work. Coincidentally, he was the second person in the district to purchase a wheat thresher. He won innumerable prizes for wheat and other produce at local shows, and was also a consistent winner in the ham and bacon sections.
Outside of his personal business activities, Mr. Mogridge helped to foster various co-operative welfare movements. He was a foundation director of the Farmers' Milling Company, and continued as a member of the board for an unbroken period of 44 years right up to the time of his demise. The show society, the Warwick Rifle Club, the now defunct coursing club and the Warwick Gun Club were also bodies in which he took a keen interest, and several valuable trophies he won from the last named body were tangible proofs of his prowess as a shot. He was well versed in local government administration, being member of Glengallan Shire Council (No. 3 division) for 18 years and an alderman of the Warwick Town Council for a term. Lodge matters also occupied his attention, for he was a foundation member of the Rose of Warwick Oddfellows Lodge and of No. 11 Pioneer Loyal Orange Lodge.
Mr. Mogridge was a typical example of the hardy English pioneer, for, despite his age, he was an alert and comparatively active man right up to the time of his sudden illness a few weeks ago. He is survived by four sons (William, Percival, Abraham and Arthur; all residents of Warwick and district), and one daughter (Mrs. A. C. Allen, of Palmerston North, N.Z.). Two sons (John and George) and one daughter (Gertrude) of the second marriage predeceased him.
The funeral took place on Monday, being attended by a large number of mourners. The services at the Methodist Church and at the graveside were conducted by the Rev. E. J. Taylor.

Obituary MR. THOMAS MOGRIDGE (1935, August 21). Warwick Daily News (Qld. : 1919 -1954), p. 2. Link to TROVE

A fire broke out on Sunday afternoon last about 3 o'clock in the kitchen attached to the house occupied by Mr. Alderman Mogridge, in Wantley-street. Some persons passing along the street at the time, seeing dense volumes of smoke issuing from the doors and windows of the kitchen, raised the alarm, and in a few minutes a crowd had collected. The kitchen by this time was enveloped in flames, and the efforts of the crowd were accordingly directed to saving the furniture contained in the house, a glance showing that nothing could save either of the buildings from destruction.
Fanned by the strong westerly wind that was blowing at the time, the fire soon spread to the main building, which also became enveloped in flame in an incredible short space of time. In about twenty minutes from the time of the discovery of the fire both buildings were in ashes. Very little of the furniture was saved. How the fire originated can of course only be conjectured, for though there was a man lying down on his bed in one of he kitchen rooms at the time he declares that he was ignorant of anything being wrong till aroused by hearing the shouts from the street.
There was a fire burning in the kitchen, but it seems to us very improbable that any piece burning wood falling from this would cause the fire as the fireplace and floor of the kitchen were all brick. The property unfortunately for Mr. Mogridge was totally uninsured, though we understand a proposal for its insurance had been made to the local agent of one of the insurance companies as recently as Thursday last, and that it was only by an oversight that the insurance was not completed on Saturday last. Mr. Mogridge, who was out of town at the time of the fire, estimates his loss at not less than £350. This we think a very moderate computation as the buildings were very substantial, and the loss of furniture and wearing apparel was very considerable. In the storeroom, besides other goods, there was stored a large quantity of potatoes and about a ton of sugar, all of which were totally destroyed.
