OBITUARY.
MRS. REBECCA THORN. Another of old and highly esteemed pioneers, passed to her eternal rest on the 9th instant, in the person of Mrs. Rebecca Thorn, of " Thornlea,'" East-street, relict of the late Mr. Henry Thorn, a one-time member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland. The deceased, who passed peacefully away, as stated above, was born at Enniskillen, County, Fermanagh, Ireland, in the year 1843, and was the daughter of the late Mr. Robert Willis, who was the proprietor of an estate in the country named, but who resolved to emigrate, with his wife and family to Moreton Bay, arriving in what is now known as Queensland 65 years ago. The family went to reside at Yandilla Station, Darling Downs, where they remained for several years, subsequently removing to Brisbane and, later on, to Ipswich. In 1862 she was married to Mr. Henry Thorn and Mrs. Thorn accompanied her husband to Warra Warra Station, of which they were the pioneers, Mr. Henry Thorn having undertaken its management for his father, Mr. George Thorn, sen., whose long uninterrupted residence have in the early days of this city, during which he gained the universal respect of all classes, gained for him the honourable and familiar title of "The Father of Ipswich." To reach Warra Warra, Mr. Henry Thorn drove his wife in a buggy, via Cunningham's Gap, Mr. and Mrs. H. Thorn remained on the station until 1878, and during the time of their residence on Warra Warra, Mr. Thorn was connected with Dalby and its district, having first sat as member for the Northern Downs, when in 1867, he defeated the late Mr. Charles Coxen. Mr. Henry Thorn, who was born in Brisbane in 1840, was the first native of this colony, to obtain a seat in the Queensland Parliament, but, on becoming associated with the late Mr. George Bashford as a contractor on the western sections of the Southern and Western railway he resigned from the Legislative Assembly, and was succeeded as member for Northern Downs, by the late Sir Joshua Peter Bell. There were, at different periods of Queensland's political history, five members of the Thorn family, including the father, in the Legislative Assembly
namely, Mr. George Thorn, sen., Mr. George Thorn, jun., (who was also Premier at one period), Mr. Henry Thorn, Mr. John Thorn, and Mr. William Thorn, of Aubigny, who is the only surviving son of that family, all of whom were identified with the rise and progress of this State. A telegram was received from Mr. William Thorn, stating that, owing to illness, he was unable to attend the funeral of his sister-in-law. As stated above, Mr. Harry Thorn removed his family from Warra Warra to Ipswich some 38 years ago, and they took up their residence at Tamar Cottage, Booval, where some two years later
in 1880 -- he died at the age of 40, leaving a family of 11 children. Mrs. Thorn, who was of a homely and affectionate disposition, removed from Ipswich, where she resided up to the time of her demise, which was not quite unexpected, as she had been a suffer for some time from weakness of the heart. The deceased has left a grown up family of five daughters, and six sons, Mrs. Arnot, of Sydney, was the only daughter absent from her bedside, and Mr. Henry Thorn, of Barcaldine, the eldest son, was too unwell to undertake the journey. The sons who attended the funeral, which was confined to the members of the family, and relatives, were Mr. Alfred Thorn, of Charters Towers; Mr. Stanley Thorn, of Mount Morgan; Mr. Charles Thorn, of Brisbane, and Messrs. Richard and John Thorn, of Ipswich. The deceased is survived by two sisters
Mrs. L. Moseley (relict of the late Rev. John Moseley, so many years rector of St. Paul's Anglican Church), and Mrs. Edward Taylor, both of Brisbane. Mr. Edward Taylor, who was a resident of this city for many years, attended the funeral, on Saturday last, when the remains of the deceased were laid in the Ipswich Cemetery.
