The paper also contains some good info so didn't want to leave it out. Perhaps someone will be able to look at the dates of the wedding mentioned and send to the List, that way we'll know what year it is at least. Also, there is a mention of " Now that the sharp autumn air is already chafing", and another " Sir G Le HUNTE, Governor of South Australia, will arrive in Brisbane at Easter time," suggests that the paper is dated around March/ April of 1905/6.

Taken from the Queenslander, Brisbane, November 10, 1906 The death took place at Bowen on the 28th October of the Hon William PETTIGREW late member of the Legislative Council of Queensland, and founder of the late Brisbane saw-mill, the pioneer mill of Queensland. The deceased had reached the ripe old age of 81 years, and death followed on an attack of pneumonia. he had latterly been living at the residence of his daughter, Mrs H.W. DAVIS, Bank of N S W , Bowen. The death is announced of Mr John Dudley DUNLOP, of Corinda, aged 37. The deceased was a native of the district, and a son of two of the oldest surviving pioneers. For sometime he was engaged in the Railway Department as a carpenter, and while employed in making repairs at Ipswich the scaffold upon which he was depending gave way and he fell, receiving serious injuries to his head. He was conveyed to the Ipswich Hospital, and eventually recovered, but shortly afterwards contracted a very severe attack of dengue fever. He leaves a widow and young family, for whom the residents of the district have expressed deep sympathy. The death of Mr Thomas KELLAWAY, an old North Queensland resident, took place at St Helen's Private Hospital last week. Mr KELLAWAY was a native of Tasmania, and came from an old family in the South of England, which gave to the England of the pre-Empire days gallant souls who won distinction on sea and land. He left Tasmania for Australia when a lad, and entered the service of the Bank of New South Wales. In the late seventies he was stationed at Cooktown, and was there a prominent figure in all athletic movements, being a young fellow of splendid physique. He opened branches of the Bank of New South Wales at various Northern towns, and was the pioneer of the institution at Croydon. Of late years Mr KELLAWAY has carried on business as an assayer, and was associated with many of the mining developments in Croydon. Recently he came to Brisbane for medical treatment, and entered St. Helen's, where Dr. JACKSON soon discovered that the case offered little hope. The deceased was a brother of Mr E B KELLAWAY of this city, and though known to but few in Brisbane, leaves a wide circle of warm friends in the far North. {following is a shortened version} Alderman THOMPSON, Acting Mayor, speaking at Monday's meeting of the Brisbane City Council, referred to the recent death of the Hon W PETTIGREW, an ex-alderman of the city. It was to him, he said, a regrettable loss. The deceased gentleman had been an alderman of the council from 1863 to 1884, with two short intervals, and he had been Mayor in 1870.
