As of the last time this record was modified there is some discussion about Elizabeth`s maiden name. With the death of each child in Queensland, her maiden name was recorded as THOMPSON/THOMSON but when Elizabeth died her father`s surname was recorded as McCORNISH. A researcher from Melbourne has written to say that he believes that it is McKAMMISH. This researcher also says that Elizabeth was previously married to a FULTON.
As with all names, there are many reasons for the differences and the author of this site does not claim that any particular name is right or wrong.

SNAKE BITE.-Yesterday afternoon a boy named George Orr, son of Mr. John Orr, of South Brisbane, was bitten in the hand by a snake, The account given of the accident by the boy, and corroborated by other boys who were with him, is that he was walking along the bank of the river at South Brisbane, nearly opposite to the hospital, when a thin brown snake sprang up from a tuft of grass, round which it was coiled, and bit him in the right hand, between the thumb and fore-finger. He instantly killed the snake, and carried it home with him, when his father had him immediately conveyed to the residence of Dr. Cannan, who cut out the spot where the wound was, and applied a dressing thereto. The boy was quite well yesterday evening. The snake is described as having been somewhat less than three feet long, and of a brown colour. It was destroyed by fire before the writer had an opportunity of seeing it. This is the first instance we have heard of In this colony of a snake making an unprovoked attack upon a human being. The boys, separately and collectively, agree that none of them could have trodden on or touched the animal. The weather a week before had been very hot, but for the preceding three days bad been wet and lowering.

The engineer of the steam-launch Wallaby, one of the craft belonging to the fleet of the Harbour Board, was ashore at Central Island on Friday last, and there, lying high and dry above the reach of the highest tides, he found the skeleton of a human being. Judging from the fragments of clothes attached to it the skeleton was that of a woman, and on the engineer reporting the matter the corpse was brought to Rockhampton and lodged in the morgue. There it was viewed yesterday by Mr. Holt, lately master of the Pink Lily school, who in the flood of February last year lost his partner in life by drowning, and who, despite the most dilligent search, failed to find any trace of the body. Mr. Holt states that a slipper which was still hanging to one of the feet resembled one of a pair of slippers Mrs. Holt used to wear, and a fragment of a jacket which remained was like part of a jacket that belonged to his wife, also that other pieces of wearing apparel found led him to the belief that the body was that of Mrs. Holt.

INCIDENT OF THE FLOOD

OF 1896.

FINDING OF A BODY.

Mr. C. Lumdin, engineer of the steam launch Wallaby, one of the craft belonging to the fleet of thc Rockhampton Harbour Board, was ashore at Central lsland on Friday last, and there, lying high and dry above the reach of the highest tides, he found the skeleton of a human being. Judging from the fragments of clothes attached to it, the skeleton was that of a woman. Mr. Lumdin reported the matter to the police here, and on Saturday the corpse was brought to Rockhampton and lodged in the morgue. There it was viewed yesterday by Mr. Holt Holt, lately master of the Pink Lily School, who, in the flood of February of last year, lost his partner in life by drowning, and who, despite the most diligent search, failed to find any trace of her body. Mr. Holt stated that the slipper which was still hanging to one of the feet resembled one of a pair of slippers that Mrs. Holt used to wear, and a jacket, a fragment of which remained, was like a jacket that belonged to his wife ; and other pieces of wearing apparel led him to the belief that the body was that of Mrs. Holt. As Mr. Holt was not with his wife when she met with her death, and did not know what clothes she was wearing at the time, he said he should prefer that other members of the family and some of those who were in the boat from which she was drowned should examine the remnants of clothing, and the police are endeavouring to arrange to carry out his wish.

Mrs. Holl, it will be remembered, was, at the time of the flood of February of last year, residing with her son Leslie-a boy of about fifteen years of age-on a selection on the bank of Nord Say, near Yaamba, a mile on the Rockhampton side of Mr. J. Hutton's farm, and about eighteen miles from Rockhampton. There were also on the selection then Mr. E. R. Carpenter, one of the members of the Gogango Divisional Board, and Mr. W. Browne, who were building a new house on the selection. Heavy rain fell on tho 29th of January, and very soon the water in the Nord Say began to rise. As it continued to rise it was seen there would be a very serious flood -a flood which, with provisions very short, would mean starvation. Mrs. Holt's nearest neighbour was Mrs. M'Kcnzie, and she lived about three-quarters of a mile away on the opsite bank of the Nord Say. Mrs. Holt paid a visit to Mrs. M'Kenzie on Sunday, the 2nd of February, and Mrs. M'Kenzie returned the visit on the Monday. On Tuesday, the 4th of February, as the water was still rising, it was arranged that Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Browne, young Holt, and a young man named John Mollen (who is in the employ of Mrs. M'Kenzie) should come to Rockhampton for rations, while Mrs. Holt should stay with Mrs. M'Kenzie. The water made very rapidly on the Tuesday night, and Mrs. Holt was forced to seek a refuge in the new house, which was on much higher ground than the old homestead and far above the height of any previous flood ; but, as after events proved, there was fully 1 ft. 6 in. of water flowing beneath it. On Wednesday morning the 5th of February, Mrs. Holt, her son, Mr. Carpenter, and Mr. Browne, were out of their beds by five o'clock, and at half-past seven set out for Mrs. M'Kenzie's-were they where to leave Mrs. Holt and pick up Mollen-in a flat-bottomed dingy belonging to Holt. At this time there was a very strong current running down the Nord Say. Mr. Holt and Mr. Carpenter took the oars. About five minutes after the party started the boat struck a tree and swamped. Mrs. Holt was thrown over one side and Mr. Carpenter over the other ; but Mr. Browne and Holt remained in the boat, which by this time was full of water. The last words Mr. Carpenter heard spoken as he left the boat came from Holt, who cried " Save mother," and as he looked round he saw the boy throwing off bis clothes ; but a few seconds later he had hold of an apple tree. Mr. Carpenter went to Mrs. Holt's assistance and managed to reach her-trying meanwhile to get up to the boat and lay hold of it or to catch on to a tree branch and gain a place of safety for her and himself. The current was frightfully strong, and Mr. Carpenter and his helpless companion were dragged beneath the surface several times by the eddies ; and in one of these struggles Mr. Carpenter lost his grip of Mrs. Holt, and she immediately disappeared beneath the waters-about 100 yards from where the mishap occurred. Mr. Carpenter now swam for the boat, which was rapidly drifting down the stream with Browne still seated in it, and eventually came up with it. Meanwhile he coo-eed to attract the attention of Mollen. After regaining his breath, Mr, Carpenter let go the boat-which by now bad gone down the stream a distance of three-quarters of a mile-laid hold of a tree, and held on. The boat went on another 200 yards, and as it passed beneath a low tree branch Browne-who was unable to swim caught it and swung himself clear of the water. The coo-eeying had reached Mollen's ears, and he came off from Mrs. M'Kenzie's in an old dingy, and tried to reach Mr. Carpenter. Failing, he took Mr. Browne off the tree and rowed him to a log in shallow water. Then pulling out into the stream he dropped down to Mr. Carpenter, and took him to the log on which Mr. Browne was resting. He then took Mr. Browne on to Mrs. M'Kenzie's, and, seeing Holt-who from the apple tree had reached a fence, and, in endeavouring to go ashore, had had to take refuge on a log-and took him to Mrs. M'Kenzie's. Then he brought Mr. Carpenter ashore. Mr. Carpenter attributed the swamping of the dingy (which, by the way, was lost) to the strong force of the current-a current so strong that it was impossible for anyone to swim against it-and Mrs. Holt's untimely end to the innumerable eddies which he encountered everywhere and which made it next to an impossibility for anyone to render any effective assistance to another.

The remains of the late Mrs. Holt-for such they have proved to be-which were found on Central lsland on Saturday last by the engineer of the launch Wallaby, were fully identified by Leslie Holt, a son of the deceased. The boy recognised the particles of clothing as part of a dress his mother wore at the time she was drowned. The remains were interred in the Rockhampton Cemetery yesterday afternoon.
