Mr. Stephen Radford acted as best man. The bride wore a charming gown of cream silk voile, made in the semi-Empire style, trimmed with silk ribbons and buttons, and a handsome embroidered wreath and veil.

DEATH OF A PIONEER.
One of Queensland's pioneer women has passed away in the person of Mrs. Isabella M'Caskill, whose death took place on February 21 at Manchester-terrace, Taringa. The late Mrs. M'Caskill, who was 87 years old at the time of her death, was born in the Isle of Martin, Rossshire, Scotland, on June 24, 1839. She arrived in Maryborough with her first husband (Mr. Murdoch M'Kenzie) and one son in October, 1862, and a daughter was born in December of the same year. After residing in Maryborough for a time, Mr. and Mrs. M'Kenzie went to Rockhampton, and shortly afterwards they went to the M'Kenzie River, where her husband was employed by a squatter to tend sheep. Her husband being obliged, on account of the drought, to take the sheep daily 15 miles to grass and water, Mrs. M'Kenzie remained by herself in the iron hut, and after seven weeks residence there some blacks appeared, and by signs and gestures intimated that they had come to kill her husband and take her to their camp. They followed the sheep tracks from the yard, and meanwhile Mrs. M'Kenzie took her children and a gun and escaped into a dense belt of scrub intending to reach her husband with the gun before the blacks arrived, but unfortunately she lost her way and wandered about for several hours in vain. Carrying her children, one on her back and one in her arms, she followed a track, and finding a shepherd returning with a flock of sheep to the station she accompanied him to the station, where she arrived in an exhausted condition. Mr. Joyce (the squatter) with a number of men set out in search of Mr. M'Kenzie and by following his dog they found the dead body on the following day in a lagoon, the blacks having murdered him with tomahawks. After travelling for six weeks on a bullock dray, Mrs. M'Kenzie and her children reached Rockhampton, where she found sympathetic friends, and undertook work in an attempt to support herself and children. Later she took a position at Moggill and in 1866 married Mr. M'Caskill. Together they went on the land at a place called the Old Camp, owing to its being a resort for blacks, but afterwards known as Pullen Vale, and situated between Brookfield and Moggill. Through their industry and perseverance Mr. and Mrs. M'Caskill succeeded in making a home for themselves, and nine children were born of this marriage. Two died, also one of the children by Mrs. M'Caskill's first marriage. About 35 years ago Mr. and Mrs. M'Caskill sold their farm at Pullen Vale, and resided it Thorpe-street Indooroopillv where the former died three years ago. The surviving children are Mrs. Floyd (Rosalie), Mrs. Heathwood (Taringa), Mrs. M'Kenzie (Perth, W. A.), Mrs. Strain (Jondaryan), Mrs. Burton (Hermitage, Warwick), Mr. Roderick M'Caskill (Perth, W. A.), Messrs. Donald and Duncan M'Caskill (Brisbane). There are 50 grandchildren and 21 great grand-children. In spite of the hardships which Mrs. M'Caskill had endured through her long life, she retained all her faculties to the end which came suddenly while visiting her daughter Mrs. Heathwood. Her funeral, which was conducted by the Rev. G. W. Pittendrigh at the home and the graveside, was attended by a large number of relatives and friends, who had journeyed long distances to pay their last tribute to one who was always a staunch friend and a sympathetic neighbour. Floral tributes were sent by the following- Mrs. Floyd and family, Mr. Don M'Caskill, "Charlie, John, and Lottie." M'Kenzie family," Rose and Chum," "Lil. and Charlie," "Alick and Kate Grant," "May and Lance," Mr. Harold Farmer, Mr., Mrs., and Miss M'Innis, Mr. and Miss Kent, Mr. and Mrs. A. H.
