He had been suffering from an attack of dysentery for about three weeks, when on his arrival at Kooroon, he became so ill that a covered buggy was obtained for him that he might be conveyed with all expedition to Dalby, but when about half way between Kincora and Carmody’s hotel he died on Monday last, May 1. The Moonie mailman was passing at the time, and notice was sent through him to MR. D. O’BRIEN, who took the necessary steps for the funeral. A coffin having been obtained, Mr. O’Brien sent it out and had the body brought into Dalby, where it was interred in the cemetery on Thursday, the REV. D. J. BYRNE conducting the mournful service. A large number of persons attended the funeral. It had been intended that the body should be conveyed to Toowoomba, but decomposition set in so rapidly that this idea was abandoned, and the funeral took place in Dalby.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHARTERS TOWERS. – The Herald of November 3 says: - An accident which terminated fatally occurred at the Rainbow p.c. on Saturday last. JOHN LAIRD, one of the tributors, was engaged about the machinery, and was placing a block of wood in a recess when he leaned over a pinion to reach the recess. He had on a loose flannel shirt of the time, and his arm was extended over the pinion, the wheel caught the sleeve of his left arm, and drew it into the cogs. The arm was drawn in and fearfully crushed right up to the shoulder, when the engine was reversed and the unfortunate was released from his perilous position. As soon as possible Laird was removed to the Hospital where the arm was amputated by Drs. Little and Kennedy. Despite all their attendance the shock to Laird’s system was so severe that he died about 9 o’clock on Monday morning having suffered great pain from the time of the accident. His funeral took place yesterday morning, and was very largely attended; the Freemasons and Oddfellows, to both of the Orders deceased belonged, mustering in great force to pay the last tribute of respect to the remains of their departed brother. The Church burial service was read by the Rev. W. H. Williams (Wesleyan), and the Freemasons’ service by Mr. Ross Robinson, W.M. Deceased was a native of Armstrong [Ardstraw?], Tyrone, Ireland and about forty years of age. One of the melancholy circumstances in connection with this accident is the fact that poor Laird was buried on the day that was to have been his wedding day, all the necessary arrangements having been made for the projected happy event.

He was, soon after his arrival, appointed to the charge of the Presbyterian congregation at Wickham Terrace, the present church having been built during his pastorate. In 1871 he seceded from the Presbyterian body, and entered the Church of England, of which he was ordained a minister........resided at Warwick three years then exchanged incumbencies with REV. MR. MATTHEWS then incumbent of Trinity Church, Valley.............it was during this period that the present church was built, chiefly through Mr. Love’s efforts..........the funeral took place this morning........the building was crowded.......the cortege then proceeded to the General Cemetery at Toowong where the mourners were again deeply affected as the body of their friend was lowered into the grave. Mr. Love leaves a widow and nine children to mourn his death. (The Telegraph)

DEATH OF MR. THOMAS BATES

We regret to have to record the death of a very old resident of Redbank Plains, MR. THOS. BATES, who passed away peacefully on Sunday morning last at the residence of his son-in-law, MR. JESSE HILLIER, after an illness of only a few days. The deceased was born at Omagh, County Tyrone, Ireland, and was 85 years of age at the time of his death. Mr. Bates arrived with his family in the colony in 1857 per the ship Mary Pleasant. He made his home in Ipswich for a few years, but about 36 years ago went to the Redbank Plains, where he purchased the farm which he cultivated till within a few months of his death. He reared a large and respectable family of sons and daughters and lived to see them all comfortably settled. One daughter is married to Mr. J. Hillier, one of the local magistrates, and four others are married to natives of Redbank Plains, who now reside in the Rosewood district. In all, Mr. Bates has left behind him a family of 11 – two sons and nine daughters – 59 grand children and 17 great grand-children. The large concourse of people that followed his remains to their last resting place, on Tuesday last, testified to the esteem in which he was held in the district. The departed was simple in his habits, and was always spoken of as a thoroughly honest and straightforward man. He is sincerely mourned by his sorrowing widow and friends. He was a member of the Methodist denomination, and constantly attended the church of that denomination at the plains for over 30 years. . (Queensland Times, Ipswich Herald and General Advertiser)

DEATH OF MR. S. SLOANE

We regret to have to record the death of MR. SILAS SLOANE, which took place at his son’s (MR. ALEXANDER SLOANE’S) residence, Short-street, on Saturday afternoon last. The deceased arrived in Brisbane about 18 years ago, and since that time he had resided in or about Ipswich. He was a native of Cookstown County Tyrone, Ireland, and had reached man’s allotted span – three score and ten years. About a week ago he became unwell, and it was thought advisable to call in medical aid on Thursday last, but the patient rapidly sank, the cause of death being complications arising from an attack of influenza. The deceased had a genial, kindly manner, and was loved and respected by a large circle of friends. He leaves a grown-up family of three sons and four daughters to mourn their loss, his wife having predeceased him by about 18 months. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, and was attended by a large number of friends. The burial service was impressively conducted by members of the sect known as “Christians”, of whom the deceased was an old and highly esteemed member.

DEATH OF MR. J. DARRAGH

The somewhat sudden death of MR. JOSEPH DARRAGH, at his residence, South Brisbane, yesterday, will come as a surprise to his many friends in Brisbane. The late Mr. Darragh was one of the oldest residents of Queensland. He was born in 1827 in Cookstown, county Tyrone, Ireland, and landed in Moreton Bay in 1850. He was therefore 75 years of age. Upon landing in Queensland he spent the first three years in the butchering business of MR. MAYNE, a relative. Subsequently he commenced business as a butcher on his own account, and for 21 years carried on this trade on Kangaroo Point. He represented the Kangaroo Point on the City Council as an alderman for four years. In 1878 he took a trip to England, Europe and America, and also included the Paris Exhibition in his tour. Upon his return to Queensland he erected the row of buildings in Queen street between Creek and Wharf streets, now known as Darragh’s Buildings. The late Mr. Darragh held at one time the position of Mayor of Sandgate. He leaves three sons and three daughters to mourn his loss. (The Telegraph)
