RICHARD BERTRAM MILLETT
ATHERTON, Nov. 27.-Qld identities of the North were shocked to hear of the untimely death of Richard Bertram Millett, maize farmer of Atherton, at the age of 65 years. The late Mr. Millett was a kindly and conscientious man, an efficient farmer and a good neighbour and one of the members of the soldier settlement group which contributed so largely toward the
rapid development and growth of Atherton and Tolga.
He was a faithful member of the Methodist Church and a local preacher. He was also a member of the R.S.S.A.I.L.A. and various other local bodies.
The deceased was the younger son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Millett of Charters Towers, the family being connected with the famous painter of that name. His only brother, Dr. W. L. Millett, who was superintendent at the Herberton Hospital throughout the war 1939-45 and at the time of his death was doing research work into tropical diseases.
The late Mr. R. B. Millett was born in Charters Towers and educated at the Towers Central State School and later at Newington College, Sydney. On leaving Newington he studied at the Charters Towers
School of Mines where he obtained his diplomas for survey work, etc., and his mine manager's certificate. In 1912 he married Miss Rowena Dawkins of Burwood, Sydney, and the couple resided at Charters Towers where he practised as a mining surveyor for four years.
Like his brother, the doctor, he was a member of the first A.I.F. and enlisted in 1916. He served in the 12th Field Engineers, returning to Australia in 1919.
He brought his family to the Atherton Tableland in October 1920 and they made their home on a lovely farm not very far from Atherton where he lived until his death. He was buried from the Methodist Church.
The officers of the church and returned soldiers acting as pall bearers. He leaves to mourn their loss a widow and three children. William, who resides on the farm "Rowena," Mrs. Frank Coleman, and Bert of
Clunes, New South Wales.
The late Mr. Millett was a trustee of the Methodist Church and had a strong sense of responsibility which he passed on to his children since his son. Bill Millett, joined the 8th Division in the 1939-45 War and served on the famous death railway as a prisoner of war of the Japanese, sustaining many injuries
at their hands.
Quantities of beautiful flowers were sent in by loving friends.
