Death of an Old Resident.

MR. C. GILL, OF FOREST HILL.

One of the largest funerals that ever took place in this district, (writes our Forest hill correspondent), was that which occurred on Sunday last, when the mortal remains of Charles Gill were laid to rest in the Laidley cemetery. The deceased gentleman passed away quite peacefully on Friday night last, after a long and trying illness, surrounded by the members of his family, who had been summoned to his bedside. The late Mr. Gill was one of the oldest and most respected citizens in this district, and in addition to his widow, leaves a family of four sons, three daughters, 28 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren, to mourn their loss.

Mr. Gill, who was born in Sussex (England), on November 3, 1826, came to Queensland by the "Saphir" in 1847, when he followed for some time the occupation of builder, carpenter, and carrier, and was also engaged on railway construction. In 1855 he was married in Ipswich to Miss Mary Madden, by the Rev. Father M'Ginty, and at that time was engaged in carrying, his operations in this respect extending to Chinchilla and Roma. While out west he took on shearing, and was soon expert in this work, eventually becoming ringer at most of the sheds where he worked. Mr. Gill first took up land at the Three-mile Creek, outside of Ipswich, and it was a common occurrence for him to walk over to the old racecourse to see the horses training his love for a good horse scorning the idea of a little fatigue.

He was the first selector on Sandy Creek, Blenheim, where he resided some 17 or 18 years, and had also a selection of 700 acres at Cressbrook Creek, Biarra, which he sold, and subsequently he took up the farm or which he lived for 27 years, and where he finally made his home. Strange to say, this was the first lot opened for selection on the justly famed Rosewood Station Estate. Mr. Gill was a most successful farmer one of the sturdy old pioneers, who, alas ! are fast diminishing. A well-read, cultured gentleman, it was always a pleasure to converse with him, particularly on the events of the early days, about which he was an undoubted authority, his memory of the coronation of Queen Victoria being very vivid, as it was also of scenes of the early days in Queensland, when the blacks were troublesome. Mr. Gill prided himself on being a subscriber to the first issue of the "Moreton Bay Courier," which subscription he kept up throughout the years. From the first issue, and up till his death, he was a constant reader of the "Queensland Times," whose articles on "Old Identities" were most keenly perused and enjoyed by the deceased gentleman, recognising as he did in those columns some of his earliest friends. Mr. Gill's family consists of Sarah (Mrs. James Barbour, of Biarra), Elen (Mrs. M. Heenan, College View, Lockyer Creek), and Bridget (Mrs. A. O'Brien, Kentville), George Thomas, Charles Albert and John James, of Forest Hill; and Robert David, of Lake Clarendon ; besides a son and daughter deceased. The Rev. P. Fouhy conducted the burial service and at the graveside were noticeable the leading resident of the surrounding towns and districts, some of whom had come great distances to pay their last sad respects to the memory of the old pioneer whom all classes loved and respected.
