DEATH OF MR. EDWARD GRIFFITH.
The many friends of Mr. Edward Griffith will be sorry to hear of his death, which took place on Sunday last at his residence, Redbank Plains. The deceased gentleman had been in failing health for some months, but it was only a week previous to his death that he was confined to his bed. He was seventy-nine years of age and leaves a wife, eleven sons, six daughters, and thirty-six grandchildren to mourn their loss. This (writes our correspondent) is not a bad record, and it must have been a source of comfort to the departed one to know that all his children were exceedingly well conducted and models of every good quality that a father could desire. All his sons received an excellent training on their father's farm. They have benefited by the good example set them, as everyone of them is engaged in agricultural pursuits, and doing well. Mr. Griffith arrived in Queensland early in 1852 in the ship Parsee, having for a shipmate that veteran Mr. John Byrne, of Goodna, (grandfather of Mr. J. J. Byrne, of the Immigration Depot, North Ipswich), who, if he lives till the 10th of next month will be 100 years of age, having been born in that memorable year 1798. Mr. Griffith was born in North Wales in 1818, and a better specimen of a British farmer could scarcely be found. He spent his early years on his father's farm, and he must have made good use of his time, for he understood his business thoroughly. He gained his colonial experience first on Dr. Dorsey's station, and afterwards with Mr. R. J. Smith at the Town Marie boiling-down works. He arrived on Redhank Plains in 1856. His first purchase was only twenty-five acres, but, by careful industry, frugality, and good management, he soon increased his holding to 468 acres, and acquired 2000 acres in other parts of West Moreton for his sons. He gave his attention chiefly to maize growing, and, like most farmers on the Plains, grew cotton and sugar-cane successfully, besides carrying on dairying and cattle breeding. Mr. Griftith was a quiet, retiring, and unassuming man, and was respected and esteemed by all who knew him. His funeral, which took place on Monday last at the Ipswich cemetery, was very largely attended notwithstanding the short notice. Nearly all the members of his family were present, as well as residents of the surrounding districts. Thus was laid to rest an indulgent father, a good husband, an excellent colonist, and an agreeable and sympathetic neighbour, ever ready to oblige and assist his fellow man.
