Mr. E. A. Bullmore, a prominent resident, died very suddenly at his
residence, Rockton, near Ipswich, early this morning. Mr. Bullmore was
in his usual state of health on Tuesday, and, indeed, he visited
Harrisville on the day previous, returning home in the evening of
Tuesday, at about 6 o’clock. He complained of being unwell during the
early part of the evening, describing his indisposition as similar to
that caused by indigestion. Nothing serious, however, occurred until a
little before 4 o’clock on Wednesday morning, when Mr. Bullmore showed
symptoms of a rather alarming nature. Dr. Geoghegan—in the absence from
Ipswich of Dr. Dunlop, Mr. Bullmore’s medical attendant—was immediately
summoned, but though that gentleman repaired thither with due hast, the
sufferer expired previous to his arrival, the cause of death being
hemorrhage of the brain. The deceased gentleman, who was 61 years of
age, was a native of Cornwall. He arrived in Victoria in 1853, and
subsequently journeyed to New South Wales, where in the Hunter district
he successfully engaged in farming pursuits. Mr. Bullmore afterwards
undertook the management of a station at Walhalla, Liverpool Plains.
Subsequently, together with a Mr. Humphreys, he took up land on the Ward
River, a tributary of the Warrego, and this was ultimately known as the
Oakwood station, which the deceased gentleman ably managed for many
year. In 1877 Mr. Bullmore settled down in Ipswich, where he has always
taken a prominent position. Mr. Bullmore sought Parliamentary honours on
two occasions, making a very creditable contest each time, as he was
defeated for the Warrego by Mr. John Donaldson by only thirty-seven
votes, while he was also defeated, at the last general election, for the
electorate of Fassifern, by Mr. William Salkeld. He was at one time
president of the Ipswich Hospital Board, and he was also president, for
some time, of the Queensland Pastoral and Agricultural Society. He
likewise filled for a time the post of chairman of the board of trustees
of the Ipswich Boys’ Grammar School, and was chairman of the directors
of a financial institution in Brisbane. The deceased gentleman, who was
brother-in-law to Mrs. P. L Cardew, leaves a widow and six children—one
son and five daughters—to mourn their sad loss.
