DEATH OF MR. SAMUEL JEFFCOAT.
Another old resident has gone hence, and the familiar form of Mr. Samuel Jeffcoat will be missed from the ranks of Ipswichians. His death occurred at 5 p.m. on Sunday at the residence of his son, Mr. Thomas Jeffcoat, Darling-street. He was conscious up to the very last moment, and passed peacefully away while the members of the Baptist Church choir were singing, at his request, the words of those grand old favourite hymns "Rock of Ages" and "In the Sweet By and By." Mr. Jeffeoat was born in Leicestershire, England, in May, 1820, his father being a soldier who fought all through the famous Peninsular Wars. At an early age Mr. Jeffeast was apprenticed at Woolwich to learn the sawing trade, and, after faithfully serving his indentures, he was appointed to take charge of the saw-milling department in connection with the Woolwich Arsenal, which position he kept until the outbreak of the Crimean War, when he, with Mrs. Jeffcoat and a family of four children - two sons and two daughters - emigrated to Moreton Bay, taking passages in the sailing vessel New Great Britain, and arriving in Brisbane in January, 1857. After three years' residence in the metropolis he accepted an engagement from the late Mr. Joseph Fleming to take the oversight of the saw-milling department in connection with the Bremer Mills-indeed, on two occasions, Mr. Jeficoat had the oversight of Mr. Fleming's saw-mills. Returning to Brisbane, he went into the contracting business, and the the buildings at Dunwich, the pilot station houses, and other early structures on the islands in Moreton Bay were erected by Mr. Jeffcoat and his partners. While in Brisbane Mrs. Jeffcoat died. During the sixties, Mr. Jeffeoat came to Ipswich, and was manager of Mr. Leslie's saw-mills, at North Ipswich, then on the site where Messrs. Hancock Bros.' sawmills now stand. After several years spent in Mr. Leslie's employ, he started as a contractor on his own account in Ipswich, where he had resided ever since. For the last eleven years he had lived with his son, Mr. Thomas Jeffcost, and had suffered a good deal from ill-health for the past several months, due to a general breaking-up of the system. He was most assiduously attended to by Dr. Robertson and Mr. and Mrs. T. Jcffcoat. He rallied at times, and was able to move about occasionally, but during the last fortnight he was confined to his bed and, as stated above, passed quietly away at the ripe old age of seventy-eight years, in the presence of a number of his relatives, including several grand-children. His step-daughter (Mrs. T. Dangerfield) and Mr. B. Saunders and Mr. J. H. Ingram were also very attentive. Mr. Jeffeoat was a steadfast adherent of the Baptist Church, of which he was a deacon. The old gentleman was a great enthusiast in cricket, and took a great interest in the doings of Ipswich cricketers wherever they went, often times journeying with them to Brisbane indeed, one of the most capable exponents of the noble game in the days of the old West End Club was a grandson of his, Mr. Samuel Jeffcoat, jun. He leaves a very large circle of relatives and friends; indeed, Mr. Jeffooat had been married twice since the demise of his first wife. The names of his sons are Mr. William Jeffcoat, of Brisbane, and Mr. Thomas Jeffcoat, of Darling-street. His daughters Mrs. M. Sherrin, of Five-Mile Creek; Mrs. T. Cook, of Adelaide; and Mrs. J. J. Stevens, of Warwick (both the last-named have predeceased him, however). His stepsons are-Mr. James Chapple (of Gympie); and Messrs. G. Down, A. Down, solicitor, T. Down, and E. Down (of Brisbane); and Mrs. Dangerfield, of Ipswich, is a step-daughter. There are also forty-four grand children and nine great grand-children. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, and was largely attended. The Rev. H. Youngman, of the Wesleyan Church (in the absence of the Rev. F. G. Buckingham and W. V. Young), officiated at the cemetery in a most impressive manner. The Baptist Church choir sang several appropriate hymns at the graveside.

SUDDEN DEATH.-On Friday morning last, Mr. John Downs, of Ellenborough street, died rather suddenly from the effects of a series of epileptic fits. The deceased retired to rest on Thursday evening, in his usual state of health, having spent a part of the evening in playing on the violin. He got up about 1 o'clock on Friday morning, to see if there was any prospect of rain, and then returned to bed, and slept until about 4 o'clock, when he had a slight fit, from which he recovered under the attention of his wife and family ; he had another about 6 o'clock, and from that time until 8 o'clock suffering from a repetition of the attacks. He then commenced to complain of pain in the bowels, and suffered from purging. Dr. Rowlands was sent for, who expressed an opinion that the patient would not recover. The unfortunate man died at about 11 o'clock, leaving a wife and seven children to lament his loss. The ages of the children are from two to fourteen years.

Of Naomi Jeffcoat, wife of Samuel Jeffcoat, sen., who died on February 12, 1888.
Day by day we saw her fade,
And gently sink away ;
We nursed her with the tenderest care,
Yet could not make her stay.
Around her silent bed we knelt,
With hearts all crushed and sore ;
While through the gloom those sweet words stole ;
Not lost, but gone before.
