MR WILLIAM SMITH

Yet another pioneer has been removed from the district by the passing of Mr William Smith, of "Riverside," Berat, who at the age of 90 years and 4 months, died at the Warwick Hospital on October 26, 1944. His death was hastened by a fall, and breaking his hip. Mr Smith was born at Bridgewater, Somersetshire, on June 14, 1854, and came to Australia 4 years later in the sailing, ship "Alfred," with his parents, the late Mr and Mrs Henry Smith, and a sister, Mrs W. Noble, now of Freestone. They arrived at Moreton Bay on September 18, the voyage taking, 3 months and 3 days. The family's first home was in Brisbane, and then they removed to Warwick and lived on the site of what is now the Roman Catholic Presbytery. At the end of the 19th century Mr Smith went to Freestone and was one of the earliest settlers in that district on what has always been known as Smith's corner.

The Smiths moved from Brisbane by bullock waggon, up the Toll Bar road, which was the only way of travelling those days. Mr Smith attended a private school conducted by Mr Stewart. At the age of 10 he left school to go with his uncle, Mr William Palmer, as help boy with the bullocks on the road from Ipswich to Warwick, via Spicer's Gap. On the return trips they would take 1000ft of cedar to Ipswich to be taken by boat to Brisbane. The trip to Ipswich usually took a month as there were no roads made then. The blacks would come around the waggons, and after getting flour, sugar and tobacco they would leave. Three or 4 teams would travel together, and passengers were taken as well as goods.

After 5 years on the road Mr Smith returned home to attend the State school which was opened in the year 1869, Mr O'Connor being the teacher. As a young man he selected a homestead block at Upper Freestone, and after working this for some years he disposed of it. In 1881 he married Eleanor Jane, third daughter of the late Henry Allen of Campbell`s Plain. He lived at Freestone and Glengallen for 4 years. At that time the second edition of the Goomburra exchange lands was thrown open. He was successful in drawing the block now known as "Riverside," which has long stood as a land mark to his name. Here he made his home and reared his family of 9. As the years went by he bought land adjoining owned by the late George Essex Evans, and from Mrs Masters; also at Glengallan and Headington Hill. Mr R. E. Smith now resides on the original homestead, and Mr H. A. Smith on Glengallen (now known as Mount Marshall).
His wife predeceased him on July 13, 1926, and one son at the age of 7. After the death of his wife he resided with his daughter, Mrs Thos Hoey. He leaves 4 sons and 4 daughters- H. A. (Mount Marshall), U. L. (Helidon), L. S. (Toowoomba) , R. E. (Berat), Mesdames Jones (Ashgrove, Brisbane), Hoey (Forest Springs), Miller (Sydney), Trethway (Victoria). There are 24 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. One son and 4 grandsons are serving with the Forces, and a grandson, Private Ron Smith, is missing from Rabaul. Flt Lieut Milton Smith, DFC, died of injuries received in an aircraft accident in England.

FEAKIN V. FEAKIN AND BUNBURY

Mr. Wassell (instructed by Messrs. Nicol Robinson, Fox, and Edwards) appeared for the petitioner, James Feakin, of Bundaberg, labourer. There was no appearance on behalf of the respondent, Rose May Feakin, or of the co-respondent.

The petition set out that the petitioner was married to Rose May Macnamara at Taroom, Queensland, according to the rites of the Church of England, by the Rev. H. L. Puxley, on 12th October, 1903. They lived at North Pine and Gundiah, and there was issue of the marriage, Edith Grace Bunbury Feakin, aged 5 years. The petition alleged that in or about May, 1904, and on other days, thereafter, the respondent, at Cordalba, and at Childers, misconducted herself with William Bunbury, at Childers, but formerly of North Pine, labourer.

Petitioner, in his evidence, said that corespondent was his step-brother, and lived with witness's mother at North Pine.
Witness went to Gundiah, and later sent for his wife, who had remained with witness's mother. Bunbury came, too, and witness noticed a fondness between them, and saw them kissing. Matters grew worse, and his wife left him. Witness produced certificates of the births of three children to the respondent afterwards.
R. W. Dowling, articled clerk, gave evidence.
A decree nisi was granted, returnable in three months, with costs against the corespondent.

FEAKIN'S FROU
Prefers His Stepbrother.
A Rural Romance
Ends with a Decree Nisi.

When James Feakln, of Bundaberg, on October 12, 1903, took for his wife Rose May Macnamara, and was married by the Rev. H. L. Puxley, at the Church of England at Taroom, he little thought that within twelve months his step-brother, Wm. Bunbury, would be despicable enough to foul h!s nuptial nest, and make it necessary for him to seek a divorce from his wife. Yet on Tuesday last, Feakin came, before Mr. Justice Chubb, and prayed for the dissolution of his marriage with Rose May Macnamara, on the grounds that in May, 1904, and on other days, at Cordalba, and during 1908 and hereafter at Childers, she committed adultery with Wm. Bunbury, of North Pine. Mr. Wassell (instructed by Messrs. Nicol, Robinson. Fox and Edwards) appeared for the petitioner. There was no appearance of either respondent or co-respondent.
James Feakln's story was short. After relating the incidents of the marriage, he said that he and his wife went to live at
NORTH PINE AND GUNDIAH.
On leaving North Pine, he left his wife at his mothers house, where Bunbury, who was his step-brother, also lived. Later, .he sent for his wife, and she and Bunbury arrived in Gundiah together. Bunbury boarded with them, and witness noticed that his wife made a lot of him. On one occasion he saw him kiss her, and after that refused to cohabit with her. He also spoke to her about the matter, but never suspected her of unfaithfulness. In May, 1904, his wife said she was going away. He advised her not to. She declared she would, packed up, and went to Maryborough. Bunbury remained wlth him, and some days later, as his wife did not return, he and Bunbury also went to Maryborough. While there Bunbury said he had seen Mrs. Feakin, hut that she refused to go back to her husband, and Bunbury also refused to give him her address. Witness then went to Townsville, and Bunbury saw him off. In October, 1903, he heard of his wife, and went to Bundaberg. He had heard that she and Bunbury were living as man and wife at Cardalba and Childers, and witness saw them at the latter place. There were
FOUR CHILDREN WITH THEM,
the eldest of which, Edith Grace Bunbury Feakin, was his child. When witness then saw his wife he noticed that she was in a certain condition. A Jeremiah Joseph Delaney was with him, and they found Bunbury ploughing. Delaney served him with the petition, and later on he served one on his wife. Delaney remarked that it might be worth looking at later on.
By his Honor: When his wife left him in May, 1904, and went to Maryborough, he remained in Gundiah. She had never asked him for maintenance, or wrote to him, or offered to return to him.
Robert Wm. Dowling, an articled clerk to Messrs. Nicol, Robinson, Fox, and Edwards, gave formal evidence.
His Honor: This case is clear enough.
Decree nisi, returnable in three months.
Mr. Wassell: I don't ask for costs.
His Honor: Costs can be given you, or against you.
Mr. Wassell: Then I ask for costs.
His Honor: Costs against the co-respondent.
