Another very old and much-respected resident of this city has passed away in the person of Mr. Thomas Weedon, of Woolloongabba. The deceased was one of those familiar identities connected with the earlier days of Brisbane whose ranks are becoming rapidly thinned, and has for some years been a prominent figure on the magisterial bench at South Brisbane. Mr. Thomas Weedon was one of a family of three sons and two daughters, of whom one sister only survives. He came to the colony thirty-three years ago, and settled on a selection on Doughboy Creek, where he remained for some years, and then left with his brother, Mr. Warren Weedon, for Sydney to take charge of some paper-mills. Returning to Brisbane after a few years, he made his home at Woolloongabba, and has since been wholly occupied in works of benevolence and usefulness. For many years he was a member of the Relief Board and trustee for the South Brisbane Cemetery. Upon being appointed as a Justice of the peace his labours were indefatigable. His name is more especially known in connection with his work as a lay reader in the parish of Holy Trinity, Woolloongabba, which position he has filled since the time of Bishop Tufnell. For upwards of ten years he had sole charge of the parish. For twenty years he has seldom been absent from his place in church. When a resident minister was appointed in 1886 the parishioners presented him with an illuminated address and a handsome silver salver. For many years Mr. Weedon represented the parish in synod, and also the diocese as a diocesan councillor. In the early days of the Children's Hospital he did much work for the institution, walking over almost every day to watch the erection of the first building. His assistance in carrying on the hon. secretaryship was of great value. During fifteen years he assisted in the work carried on by Mrs. Weedon, and eight years of that time she w«s both honorary secretary and collector. Mr. Weedon's health has been failing for some time past, and a month since an attack of pleurisy came on which ended in congestion and inflamation of the lungs, proving fatal on Monday last. During his sickness the Bishop of the diocese (Dr. Webber) has visited him frequently, and has expressed his deepest sympathy with the family in the loss they have sustained. Many a kind and loving act had he done, and though the place will know him no more, his name and work will long be remembered. He leaves his partner of the last twenty years to lament his loss, who has been truly his helpmeet. There is also a family of two sons and three daughters, who occupy well-known positions of trust in the colony.
