Family Notices. (1926, October 30). Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser (Qld. : 1860 - 1947), p. 10. Link to TROVE

There died at Maryborough yesterday an old and highly respected pioneer in the person of Mr. James Sim, at the age of 75. The late Mr. Sim was one of a family of sawmilling pioneers, and the timber business of Messrs. Sim, Limited, at Maryborough, stands as a monument of his activities. The deceased was born in Kingpess, Nairnshire, Scotland, and came to this State in the ship Genghis Kahn in August, 1854. The family engaged in the timber industry in conjunction with the Brisbane firm of W. Pettigrew, and it is noteworthy that the mill at Maryborough used the first locomotive constructed in Queensland. The late Mr. Sim was a prominent sportsman, and had the honour of stroking the first four-oar crew that won the Queensland championship in the year 1890. He was also a prominent football supporter, and later became intimately associated with bowls. Deceased is survived by his widow, two sons, Messrs. William Joseph Sim, Maryborough, and Reginald James Edward Sim, Brisbane; also three daughters, Mesdames T. J. Dellar, Gympie, H. A. Beiers, and A. F Madsen, Brisbane. The brothers of the deceased are Messrs. W. S. Sim, Maryborough, and A. J. Sim, Sydney, and the sisters, Mesdames Mure, H. Robertson, S. J. Whitehill, H. Black, and Miss R. Sim, all of Brisbane.

GOLDEN WEDDING.

Mr. AND MRS Jas, Sim, TERTIUS ANNIVERSARY TO-DAY.

To-day is the 50th anniversary of the wedding day of Mr. and Mrs, James Sim, tertius, Zante street.
It is a proud moment in the lives of two of our esteemed citizens, who, in their declining years, may look back over the long vista of years in the pleasureable review that comes of a life time of successful effort in the city of their adoption and of domestic happiness. Endowed with a robust constitution — the birthright of hardy pioneering stock — both enjoyed remarkably good health up till a year or so ago, when each was stricken with a severe illness, but even this has seemingly passed lightly over them, and to-day they enter upon a new chapter of life's history in the buoyant spirit of good health and with the united blessing of a happy family and a wide circle of friends.
Mr. James Sim, who was born at Kingsteps, Nairnshire, England, is the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Sim and his good lady once Miss Elizabeth Ann Wood, who is a native of Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire England, is the eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wood, with whom she arrived in Hervey Bay in the "David McIvor" in July 1863.
The late Mr. and Mrs. J. Wood lived for many years in Bazaar street and it was from, their residence that Mr.and Mrs. James Sim were joined in holy matrimony on August 5th, 1874. Their marriage united two well known pioneering families, whose sons and daughters have played no small part in the development of the town and district.
At the time of their marriage, Mr. James Sim, with his brother, Mr. W. S. Sim, who is still in our midst, was carrying on the sawmilling industry at Dundathu, some miles down the river. The young couple accordingly took up residence at the "Big Kauri" (the aboriginal name for Dundathu), where they resided for some years up till the time when the prosperity of this once flourishing sawmilling community commenced to wane and the mill itself, was partly wrecked in the destructive record flood early in 1893 and, completely destroyed by fire on Christmas Eve of the same year.
The family name of Sim is widely respected throughout the town and district, and many parts of the State by reason of its association with the timber industry, with which its fortunes have been linked for very many years. His connection with the timber industry dates even back to Scotland, where the late Mr. William Sim and his father before him were associated with the industry. The former, with his wife, the late Mrs. W. Sim, who died in Brisbane about three years ago at the age of nearly 95 years and two children, Mr James Sim, tertius (then quite a child), and Mr. W. S. Sim, a babe in arms, arrived in Brisbane from Scotland on August 14, 1854 in the "Genghis Khan", so that nine days hence will be the 70th anniversary of the latters' arrival in Queensland. As an outcome of the early day partnership, at Brisbane, in the timber trade, between the late Messrs. W. Pettigrew and W. Sim, the latter with a view to extending the Brisbane branch, established the Dundathu business in July 1863. The remainder of the family took up residence at this centre on September 2 of the same year.
Its growth under the guiding hand of the founder, who was eventually accidentally killed at Tin Can Bay, in 1873, but whose work.was capably carried on by his sons, Messrs. James and W. S. Sim read's like a romance in the realm of industry. It developed into a very prosperous settlement, with its churches and its schools and its splendid sawmill, the activities of which in its search for ample sources of supply, extended along the upper reaches and valleys of the Mary, Burrum and lsis rivers, and amongst the then magnificent pines in the scrubs of Tin Can Bay and Fraser Island. The Dundathu mill enjoyed the unique distinction of using, for its wooden tramline at Tin Can Bay, the first, locomotive built by Walkers Limited (and incidentally the first loco, constructed in Queensland).
All the old glory of Dundathu has long since passed away. Mr. and Mrs, Jas. Sim, with their family, removed to Maryborough about the beginning of 1894, and have since resided in the city of Maryborough. Mr. Sim still retains his interest in the well-known Maryborough sawmill "Urara" conducted under the firm name of Messrs Sims, Ltd.
The Sim family have always been lovers of outdoor sports. Rowing was their forte in the height of Dundathu's prosperity. Some of the oldest residents of the community have vivid recollections of the thrilling battles for supremacy among the sturdy Sim crew from Dundathu and the solid combinations from Maryborough — the Bartholomews, Poulters, McDowalls, and others. Mr. Jas Sim, tertius, holds the honour of stroking the winning crew in the first four-oared championship of the State, held on the Mary River on May 24th, I880. 'Athletic Queensland' a sporting publication, gives that distinction to this particular race. Mr. Jas. Sim had behind him on that occasion two brothers, Mr. W, S. Sim (No. 3), the late Mr. R. A. Sim (No. 2), and Mr. James McWatters (Maryborough, bow). Another brother, Mr. A. J. Sim (Sydney) was cox of this famous four.
With his retirement from rowing, Mr. Sim transferred his sporting activities to football circles, and for many years was a keen supporter and patron of the old Wallaroos (Newtown). Of late years he has been a popular member of the Maryborough Bowling Club, practically since its inception. and at one period capably filled the position of president of the club, a role wherein he had the hearty co-operation of his life partner, particulary in regard to the social activities inseparably ***elated with the presidential direction of a bowling club. Mr. Sim has given a good deal of very useful service to local educational movements in his capacity as chairman and member of the Newtown and Albert schools' committees. He Was connected with the latter committee for nearly three decades and for many years in succession occupied the chairmanship a position from which he only retired a few years ago.
Apart from her labours on the Ladies Benevolent Society, in the early days of its inception, her work for charitable causes generally, and her association for some time with the croquet courts and social life of the community, Mrs. Sim's name is revered in many circles through her excellent services to the Lady Musgrave Hospital, on the committee of which she contributed for very many years very helpful and genuinely sincere service towards a worthy institution. On several occasions she gracefully discharged the duties of president, and the enthusiasm which she gave to her labours in this direction was always regarded as an outstanding feature of her office. Mrs. Sim retired from the committee a year or two ago, when her colleagues paid her the highest compliment possible by electing her a patroness of an institution which she had served so long and faithfully
Mr. and Mrs. Sim have reared a fine family of sons and daughters, who are held in the highest esteem by the community, and the majority of whom resided here until comparatively a few years ago. The family comprises: Mr. William Joseph Sim, of Sims, Ltd., sawmill, Maryborough. Mrs. Thomas J. Dellar nee Miss May Sim, wife of Mr. T. J. Dellar, formerly Maryborough, but now of the Gympie loco, department of the Queensland railways.
Mrs. Henry Arthur Beiers (nee Miss Hilda Sim), wife of Mr..H. A. Beiers, lately appointed manager, at Melbourne, of the Vianinni reinforced conrete pipe works.
Mrs. Anthony Madsen (nee Miss Blanche Sim), wife of Mr. A. Madsen, station master, Roma street, Brisbane. Mr. Reginald James Sim, of the staff of the Union Bank Brisbane. One son, the late Mr. Edgar Sim, died in January, 1914. His memory is still kept green in the ranks of the Naval Band, of which he was hon. secretary for some years and by bandsmen generally because of his exceptionally fine organising work, in connection with brass band contest at Maryborough.
There are nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
To-day is a happy event in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Sim and family, and their reunion will be attended by a good deal of pleasure and pride, which will be genuinely shared by their hosts of friends, who will be hospitably welcomed at Mr. and Mrs. Sim's residence, Zante street, to-day or to night. It is an occasion worthy of every honour and recognition. We join heartily in adding our congratulations, to Mr. and Mrs. Sim on the celebration of their golden wedding day.
