Description
DescriptionBorn in England. He came to Australia on the ‘Castle Eden’ in 1848, originally into Sydney. He came to Ipswich where he initially cut timber for houses, although he had a background in printing and book binding. He married firstly in 1853 to Katherine Francis, and they had one son, John. (John would become the editor of the Queensland Times). After her death, he married Jane Stewart in 1864 and together they had six children. He was the printer’s pressman for the Ipswich Herald that started on 4 July 1859, and when it became the Queensland Times under Hugh Parkinson, he continued there for about 40 years. He was active in community affairs. He was a foundation member of the early Baptist Church and was on the committee when the Ipswich Baptist Church was built. As a lay preacher, he would walk to either Rosewood or Brisbane, leaving early morning, preach his sermon and then walk home. When the Order of Rechabites started, he was a foundation member and held various offices. In the late 1870s, he was the Secretary of the committee for the establishment of a school at Newtown and continued in this role when the school was established. He died in 1911.
