LATE MR JOHN GRENFELL
A highly respected citizen, Mr John Grenfell, passed away suddenly, after a short illness, at the Gladstone district Hospital at the age of 81. Born at St Just, Cornwall, England, he arrived in New South Wales about 60 years ago. Later he came to Gympie and resided there in the prosperous mining days. He married Miss Louisa Bice, of Gympie, in 1891, and they afterwards resided at Many Peaks and Mt. Morgan, where he followed his occupation as a mining engine driver. For the last 20 years he lived at Glenlyon street, Gladstone. He was a keen cricket enthusiast and acted as umpire at Many Peaks and Mt. Morgan in many intercity matches. He was a member of the Masonic Order of the Scottish Constitution and an Oddfellow. He is survived by his widow, two sons, Cecil (Pomona) and Roy (Wollongong, New South Wales), and three daughters, Mesdames W. Goldsworthy (Sandgate), D. Norris and L. C. Breslin (Gladstone). Mr Roy Grenfell arrived in Gladstone in response to an urgent call. The body was taken to Gympie for interment in the family burial ground.
 
Transcriber's Note: John GRENFELL was baptised on 3 Jun 1860 at St Just in Penwith, son of Peter Wallis GRENFELL and Mary CASLEY. He died on 14 October 1941.
