A RESIDENT OF WIVENHOE, AND FORMERLY OF IPSWICH.
(From Our Fernvale Correspondent.)
As the waning sunlight of Monday last lit up the little knoll which forms the centre of Wivenhoe Pocket, it fell upon one of those sad and woeful sights which always betoken calamity. For, gathered here, on this afternoon, was a vast assemblage of men and women standing round an open grave and reverently paying their last respects to one who, throughout all his life, had ever won the esteem of those who knew him one who, to his dearest friends, was known as "John Reid." John was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland, on the 2nd of April, 1831, and, in the ship Hastings, came out, at the age of 26, to Moreton Bay. On arrival he was engaged by Messrs. Cribb and Foote, of Ipswich, then a small firm engaging about nine hands, and by them he was set to do carrying work. In this capacity he served for many years, his zeal and energy giving great satisfaction to his employers, and causing him eventually to be appointed head drayman.
Having saved sufficient to purchase a home of his own, he, in company with Meessrs. Henderson, McIntosh, and Donald, took up land in the Wivenhoe Pocket, and here these old pioneers worked day and night, clearing the land and preparing it for cotton. Then came the days of cotton boom, then the decline in the value of the crop, then the withdrawal of the bonus, and finally the collapse of the cotton industry.
Reid next turned his attention to lucerne and maize growing, and this, together with cattle grazing, fully occupied his time until feeble health compelled him to leave the care of his property to his three sons. His efforts had been very successful, and he was thus enabled to leave his family in good circumstances. During the 36 years deceased has resided here he took an active interest in all matters relating to the good of the district. He was a trustee of the cemetery in which he now lies ; he was for many years a member of the committee of the Wivenhoe School; and he was an elder in the Wivenhoe Presbyterian Church, which building stands upon ground donated by him for Church purposes. His home was noted for genuine hospitality, and the genial manner and bright merry face of the late head of the house will long be remembered and missed by those who were honoured by possessing his acquaintance. As Goldsmith said of his father, "A man he was to all the country dear," and Wivenhoe is much the poorer, to-day, by its having lost one of its finest men. A few years ago Mr. Reid paid a visit to his native place in Scotland, and, after a most enjoyable trip, returned home looking as if a new lease of life had been granted him. Shortly after his return, however, some internal complaint set in and he became weaker and weaker. All that loving attention and medical aid could do for him was done, but without avail, and he passed quietly away in the presence of nearly all the members of his family, on Saturday evening last. The funeral was a large one, representative of the respect in which he was held, and a most impressive service was conducted at the graveside by the Rev. E. Eldridge, of Esk. On the coffin, was the simple inscription, "John Reid. Died September 3, 1904; aged 73 years." Whilst conspicuous amongst the beautiful floral tributes were wreaths from Mesdames Jones, McDonald, Hunter, McGregor, (Captain) Vernor, and Miss Nunn. Deceased was twice married. His first wife was Miss Agnes Houston, daughter of Captain Houston, of Fife, Scotland. The lady lived but a short time after her marriage, and some years later Mr. Reid was again married, this time to Miss Joan Henderson, daughter of Mr. John Henderson, of Wivenhoe. By his first wife Mr. Reid had no children, but by his second he had three sons (John, Thomas and James), and four daughters, Janet (Mrs. Meredith, of Forest Hill), Elizabeth, Joan, and Jane. All the members of the family, except Mrs. Meredith, are living at home, and following in the footsteps of their late father, they have made themselves highly respected. Much sympathy is felt for their rather sad loss.

MRS. JAMES DONALD. Many of the older residents of Queensland (writes our Fernvale correspondent) will regret to hear of the demise of Mrs. James Donald, of Wivenhoe Pocket. The deceased had been in indifferent health for some months past, and passed peacefully away in her own home on the 28th April last, having attained the age of 68 years. The late Mrs. Donald was born in Alva, Scotland, being the youngest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Henderson, late of Wivenhoe Pocket in the Fernvale district. With her father and mother, together with her brother (Mr. John Henderson), her two sisters (the late Mrs. John Reid, of Wivenhoe Pocket, and Mrs. John McIntosh, of Woodend Pocket Ipswich), Mrs. Donald came to Queensland in the Great Victoria, the first screw steamer to come into Moreton Bay, arriving there on the lst January, 1866, and reaching Brisbane two days later in one of the small steamers running on the river at that time. Brisbane had no attraction for these hardy pioneers, and the following day they boarded a small steamer for Ipswich, railway communication between the metropolis and Ipswich being then unthought of. In Ipswich they were met by Mr. and Mrs. William Henderson, well known residents for many years. The late Mrs. Donald married in the following year, and in March 1867, together with her husband (Mr. James Donald, a highly respected farmer and grazier), her father and mother and other members of the family, she came out to Wivenhoe Pocket - or North's Pocket, as it was then called - where she had resided up to the time of her death. She is survived by a widower, four sons and three daughters, one son having died some years ago. By the death of Mrs. Donald, Queensland loses a hardy pioneer, a good and lovable mother ; and the community in which she has lived for so many years loses a kind and faithful friend. Her friends were legion, and even in her last days she had kindly recollections of her fellow-passengers on the ship Great Victoria, amongst them being Mr. and Mrs. Thompson Eden and family (one of the latter being Mr. Alfred J. Eden, at one time railway station-master at Ipswich) ; Mr. R. Grant, the popular railway guard, and members of his family (one of whom was the late Mrs. John Henderson), Mr. W. T. Pratt, formerly watch-maker and jeweller, of Ipswich, was also a shipmate.

PAMIPLING.--In loving remembrance of Mary Jane Pampling, the beloved wife of Joseph Pampling, who fell asleep in Jesus at Milora, February 2, 1905.
Dearest mother, thou hast left us;
We thy loss most deeply feel;
But 'tis God who hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Good and gentle was thy lifetime,
Christ has died and set thee free;
Wait a little, dearest mother,
And we soon shall follow thee.
Gentle in mind, patient in pain,
My dear wife heft me, heaven to gain;
With actions so noble, generous and kind,
Few in this world her equal could find.
Not gone from memory, not gone from love,
But gone to our father's home above.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
