Griffith took his place and McIlwraith became premier in March 1893. He resigned in October and served as chief secretary and secretary for railways until 29 March 1895 although he had left for England on 15 January.
Third premiership. Wikidata gives the exact dates 27 March 1893 to 27 October 1893; the successor Hugh Nelson is named in the English Wikipedia article.
He resigned in October and served as chief secretary and secretary for railways until 29 March 1895 although he had left for England on 15 January. ... Despite his absence and lack of a seat, he was appointed minister without portfolio in the hope that his health would permit his return, but his financial position was already insecure. ... On 25 November 1897 the Labor Party with government support succeeded in passing a resolution that he should retire from the ministry. On 9 December he resigned from the Executive Council.
Final ministerial offices and the end of his political career.
Until 1879 he had been a director of the Queensland National Bank and had used its resources for his large speculations in 1884-90. In 1893 the bank had been saved from collapse only by government assistance. After the Queensland National Bank Agreement Act was passed in 1896, a committee investigated its affairs. The report, delayed for three months by McIlwraith's refusal because of ill health to return for examination, revealed a degree of mismanagement amounting almost to corruption. He was alleged to have debts to the bank of over £251,000, covered by security of only £60,700 while a further £77,000 owed by him had been written off as irrecoverable. ... He complained bitterly that the report had been published without his defence but his financial repute was ruined and even the conservative Brisbane Courier condemned him.
Dated to 1896, the year of the Queensland National Bank Agreement Act and the committee of investigation.
He died in London on 17 July 1900 and was buried at Ayr.
Wikidata Q3525408 gives the place of burial more precisely as Ayr Cemetery (Q133525485); no tree row exists for the cemetery, so the event is attached to Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland (place 801).
Belonging to a family that boasted an engagement with Labor politics from the 1891 shearers' strike, Bob joined the Australian Labor Party and later became its Cloncurry branch secretary.
ADB on his Labor Party membership and branch office; the split of 1957 is given in the following paragraph.
He split from the ALP in 1957 and stood, unsuccessfully, as a candidate for the breakaway Queensland Labor Party (later the Democratic Labor Party) for the State seat of Flinders (1957-58) and for the Federal electorate of Kennedy (1958).
ADB on the 1957 split and the two unsuccessful candidatures under the Queensland Labor banner.
Returning to Cloncurry, he leased a clothing store and, later, a picture theatre.
ADB on the businesses he ran at Cloncurry after leaving the army; the Handbook independently lists 'Theatre proprietor.' and 'Business manager.' among his occupations.
He died on 18 March 1990 at Mount Isa and was buried in Sunset lawn cemetery
ADB gives the place of burial. No row exists in the tree for the cemetery itself, so the event is placed at Mount Isa and the cemetery named in the summary.
"They settled at Bauhinia Downs on a tributary of the Dawson and from this base the family extended their operations even farther into Queensland. The Bells and the Duttons were among the first applicants for land on the Nive River when the Mitchell district was opened for settlement and their leases included the site of Tambo township. ... The Duttons retained Bauhinia Downs which Charles managed, and Goomally where his brother Harry had charge. Later a house in Toowong, Brisbane, and an estate at Cooredulla near Armidale were also acquired."
ADB places Cooredulla near Armidale; the Queensland Parliament register places it at Tenterfield, which agrees with the tree's death place. The 1860 Tambo/Nive lease and the 1879 Bimerah purchase come from the register entry cited on this person.
"In 1865 Dutton contested the new pastoral electorate of Mitchell in the Queensland Legislative Assembly but the only two votes cast for him were by his Bell cousins; John Gore Jones also had two votes and was awarded the seat by the returning officer. In 1871 Dutton nominated B. D. Morehead for Mitchell but did not stand himself again until 1883 when he was elected for Leichhardt."
Supports the earlier Mitchell candidacy and the 1888 defeat noted in the summary.
In 1897 he arrived at Gracemere as book-keeper and became a partner in R. S. & J. Archer.
Wikipedia agrees: 'He relocated to Australia in 1897, joining his brothers Robert and John as a partner in their business activities in Gracemere, Queensland.'
He was chairman of the Port Curtis Co-operative Dairy Co. in 1904-07 and he also served several terms on the Calliope and Fitzroy shire councils.
The Queensland Parliament register agrees: 'Chairman, Port Curtis Co-Op Dairy Co., 1904-1907'. No placeId attached; the company operated in the Port Curtis district near Gladstone.
He served there as an executive member of the United Graziers' Association of Queensland, and was president of the agricultural society in 1927-40, and chairman of the Harbour Board in 1933-39.
'There' is Rockhampton, to which the preceding sentence says he retired in 1931.
He served there as an executive member of the United Graziers' Association of Queensland, and was president of the agricultural society in 1927-40, and chairman of the Harbour Board in 1933-39.
Same ADB sentence; the register's Notes field also lists 'Member, Rockhampton Harbour Board'.
They were educated at Whitgift Grammar School, and Edward also attended King's College School, London.
The Queensland Parliament register's Education field agrees: 'Whitgift Grammar School, London (England); King's College School, London (England)'. Neither source gives dates.
Like his brother Robert, he was buried with Anglican rites in the Gracemere private burial ground, not far from the homestead built by their uncles in 1858.
Place set to the tree's existing Gracemere, Queensland row (#3305); no cemetery row exists. No burial date is given.
Educated at Toowoomba South Boys' School until aged 13, James worked as a grocer's assistant before training as a pupil-teacher in his old school from 1877 to 1880. He served at Toowoomba South Boys' (twice), Fortitude Valley and Emu Creek schools, then became head teacher at Gowrie Creek near Toowoomba in 1884.
ADB also gives the resignation date: 'he resigned on 31 August 1894 to become editor and half-owner ... of the conservative Toowoomba newspaper, the Darling Downs Gazette.'
An active Presbyterian and Freemason, he died on 5 April 1939 and was buried in Toowoomba cemetery, leaving an estate sworn for probate at 4343 pounds. He had not married.
ADB gives the cemetery as 'Toowoomba cemetery'. The pound sign in the original is transcribed as 'pounds'.
As officer in charge of the proposed settlement of Bowen, Dalrymple then planned the expedition to establish the township and led the overland section. After he arrived Bowen was proclaimed on 11 April 1861.
Signed ADB entry; supports both the role and the 11 April 1861 date.
In 1897-1908 he was president of the United Pastoralists' Association of Queensland during a critical period of labour, economic and climatic problems.
On 15 April 1889 Cameron convened a meeting of employers at Barcaldine 'to consider the advisableness of forming a union for the prevention of strikes and the amicable settlement of disputes which may arise'. This body subsequently became the Central Queensland Pastoral Employers' Association: Cameron was its president in 1893-1908.
John was educated at Scotch College, Melbourne, and at Geelong Church of England Grammar School, where 'I never did any good beyond being a good fighter'.
He was buried in the Toowong cemetery with ceremonies befitting an elder of the Presbyterian Church and the chief of the Caledonian and Burns clubs.
No exact burial date is given; the ADB's own bibliography lists a funeral report in the Brisbane Courier of 27 June 1914. Recorded against the place row for Toowong, as no Toowong Cemetery place row exists.
"In May 1875 he was elected by a large majority against the attorney-general, Ratcliffe Pring, for the South Brisbane seat in the Legislative Assembly." ... "As a supporter of Thomas McIlwraith he lost his seat in the 1883 election."
Supports the circumstances of the 1875 election and the 1883 defeat. That the seat had been vacated by Thomas Blacket Stephens is from the Wikipedia article's Public life section.
"He also served as an alderman on the South Brisbane Municipal Council in 1875-76 and was elected mayor of Brisbane in 1876."
ADB names the office 'mayor of Brisbane' but the council 'South Brisbane Municipal Council'; Wikipedia, citing Brisbane City Council Archives, has him as an alderman of the Brisbane Municipal Council and the 12th Mayor of Brisbane. The register's wording differs again - see the second citation on this event.
"In 1884 he was elected chairman of the Cairns Divisional Board and next year became president of the School of Arts, his keen love of reading ensuring the firm establishment of the town's first library."
"Cairns was proclaimed a municipality on 28 May 1885 and at the council's first meeting on 22 July he was unanimously elected mayor by his fellow aldermen; he was re-elected for a further term."
Being elected at the first meeting of the first council makes him the first mayor of Cairns; the Wikipedia article says the same, citing the Cairns Regional Council list 'Mayors of Cairns 1885 to Present'.
"In 1884 he was elected chairman of the Cairns Divisional Board and next year became president of the School of Arts, his keen love of reading ensuring the firm establishment of the town's first library."
'Next year' after 1884 gives 1885. The Queensland Parliament register's Notes field independently records 'President, Cairns School of Arts'.
"In 1888 Kingsford stood for the new Cairns seat in the Legislative Assembly, still an ardent supporter of McIlwraith. He was defeated after a bitter and costly fight by Frederick Thomas Wimble, founder and editor of the Cairns Post, who contested the seat because he had become a follower of Samuel Griffith."
An unsuccessful candidature, recorded because it closes his parliamentary career; the register lists no service after 1883.
"He arrived at Sydney in 1852 and went to Brisbane in 1854 as partner in a drapery business in Queen Street with his brother John, who later became pastor of the Jireh Baptist Church in Fortitude Valley."
The Wikipedia article agrees: 'In 1852, after marrying Sarah Southerden, his first wife, in the fourth quarter of 1851, Kingsford and his wife emigrated to Sydney and, ultimately, relocated to Brisbane in 1854.' No ship is named by either source.
"He arrived at Sydney in 1852 and went to Brisbane in 1854 as partner in a drapery business in Queen Street with his brother John"
Wikipedia's Business life section says 'Kingsford was a partner in a drapery business in Queen Street, Brisbane with his brother John in the 1860s'; the register's Career field opens with 'Draper'. Dated here to the ADB's 1854, the earliest attested year.
"He bought property in the town and selected an area near Kuranda for growing fruit."
The ADB does not date the move; Wikipedia does: 'In about 1883, Richard and Sarah Kingsford followed them there and established a fruit farm near Kuranda.' Hence ABT 1883.
"In 1890 Kingsford bought the Hambledon sugar plantation from Thomas Swallow and leased it to the sons, Swallow Bros; in 1897 it was acquired by the Colonial Sugar Refining Co."
The register's Career field reads 'Draper; Sugar-planter, 1882; Justice of the Peace' - an eight-year discrepancy with the ADB's 1890 purchase, noted but not resolved. Thomas Swallow was the father-in-law of Kingsford's daughter Caroline.
"He died in Cairns on 2 January 1902 and was buried in the old McLeod Street cemetery."
No burial date is given, only the cemetery. Wikipedia calls it the Cairns Pioneer Cemetery in McLeod Street; no separate place row exists for it, so the event is placed at Cairns.
In 1869-71 John selected almost 2000 acres (809 ha) of good land on what was then the Rockhampton agricultural reserve and named his property Fitzroy Park. He successfully grew sugar-cane as early as 1872 and was largely responsible for the establishment of the Pandora Sugar Co. Ltd in 1880 (liquidated 1884).
The later pastoral career is from the same entry: "At 66, feeling that 'time was running short', he returned to the pastoral industry, eventually acquiring eight pastoral leases. In 1911 when he purchased Beaconsfield East and West stations, Ilfracombe...". The cattle-shipping venture is also from the same entry.
He took ill while on a visit to Beaconsfield and died at Longreach on 18 November 1917. Buried at Longreach, his remains were later reinterred in Toowong cemetery, Brisbane, with Presbyterian forms.
Recorded at the initial burial place, Longreach. Wikipedia dates the reinterment at Toowong to 22 March 1919; no exact date for the original burial is given.
An executive-member of the Mackay Hospital and the School of Arts, Dalrymple was the town's first mayor in 1869-71 and later served again. He was a member of the Road Board before the Divisional Boards Act of 1879, and then of the Pioneer Divisional Board until 1888 when he left local government and became a member for Mackay in the Legislative Assembly.
The Queensland Parliament register's Local Government Service field agrees: 'Alderman Mackay, also mayor 1869 - 1871'.
He was educated at the West of England Dissenters' Proprietary School at Taunton; his qualification as an associate of the Pharmaceutical Society, was followed by attendance at the Bristol Medical School.
The Queensland Parliament register's Education field agrees: "West of England Dissenters' School, Taunton, Somerset, England". No date is given by either source.
"Educated at Lowood and Wooroolin State schools to age thirteen, Charlie later took correspondence courses in farm management." ... "On 7 April 1926 at St Andrew's Anglican Church, Wooroolin, he married Mildred Turner, and from 1931 they worked their own farm in the district." ... "Even as a minister he liked to spend as much time as possible in the paddocks of his farm near Kingaroy."
Wikipedia's infobox gives his occupation as "Peanut farmer" and states "He was a peanut farmer before entering politics."
"When increased production led to a sharp reduction in price during the 1924 season, the farmers refused to sell their product and approached the State government under the terms of the Primary Products Pools Act 1922-23 to form a Peanut (later Peanut Marketing) Board. As chairman of the board (1925-31, 1934-52), Adermann presided over the gradual stabilisation of the industry; through a compulsory collective marketing system, the board treated, stored, and sold annual crops on behalf of growers."
First of two terms. Wikipedia agrees: "He served as chairman of the Peanut Board from 1925 to 1931 and 1934 to 1952". The Parliamentary Handbook records "Chairman of the Queensland Peanut Board."
"As chairman of the board (1925-31, 1934-52), Adermann presided over the gradual stabilisation of the industry" ... "In June 1949 Arthur Calwell alleged that Adermann had organised a cooperative society which he later disbanded at the behest of the agricultural company Dalgety & Co. Ltd and other interested parties, and also had used his position as chairman of the Peanut Marketing Board to attempt to influence classification of his third grade peanuts as first grade. Adermann vehemently denied the allegations, but Prime Minister Ben Chifley declined his request for a formal inquiry."
Second of two terms. Wikipedia gives the same span, "1934 to 1952".
"After (Sir) Robert Menzies led the Liberal-Country Party coalition to government in December 1949, Adermann was elected unopposed as Chairman of Committees on 22 February 1950." ... "From August 1955 Cameron's ill health resulted in Adermann again acting as Speaker, this time for five and a half months." ... "Following the 1958 election, Adermann left the Deputy Speakership and was appointed minister for primary industry"
Wikipedia gives the span: "He served as chairman of committees (deputy speaker) from 1950 to 1958."
"A man of deep religious faith, Adermann was president of the Queensland and Federal conferences of the Churches of Christ. Beginning in 1938, as 'Uncle John' he delivered a popular Sunday school broadcast on radio 4SB in the hope that 'a children's session of this type, with children's voices, would have a tendency to encourage others to read the word of God'. He continued these broadcasts until the last year of his life."
Wikipedia agrees: "In 1938, he began a series of Sunday school radio broadcasts on 4SB under the name 'Uncle John'." 4SB was the Kingaroy commercial station.
"Adermann reached the peak of his political career in 1966 when he rose to fifth in cabinet seniority under Prime Minister Harold Holt and was appointed a privy counsellor at a ceremony in Buckingham Palace."
The Parliamentary Handbook records "Appointed a Member of Her Majesty's Privy Council from 1966." and styles him "the Rt. Hon."
"His funeral at Taabinga cemetery, Kingaroy, was attended by Anthony as acting prime minister, and Bjelke-Petersen as premier."
Wikipedia agrees: "He was interred at the Taabinga Cemetery near Kingaroy." Dated to the year of death (9 MAY 1979); neither source gives the exact date of the funeral.
