OBITUARY.
MRS. C. S. MILLETT.
There passed peacefully away on Monday, August 24th, in her 81st year, Mrs. C. S. Millett, relict of R. H. Millett, who was one of three well-known brothers in the palmy days of the Towers. John and William Millett were prominent in the mining activities of the time, but Richard Millett was more closely associated with church and local government affairs, being a circuit steward of the Central Methodist Church, a councillor and chairman of the Queenton Shire, councillor of Thornburgh College, and also a city alderman until he left the field for Montville in 1920, dying there on August 4th, 1921. Mrs. C. S. Millett was born at St. Ives, Cornwall, and was married in the Old Land, had six children, all born in Cornwall, one dying in infancy, and came to Queensland in 1896, following her husband who had come out five years earlier. She resided continuously on the Towers for 25 years, but during the last ten years divided her time between Montville, Brisbane and the Towers, which she always regarded as her home town. Three months ago, in her 81st year, she commenced a round of visits to her sons, visiting Montville, Rockhampton and Cairns then coming to the Towers, where she intended taking up residence with her son. Six days after arrival she had the misfortune to fall and break her hip, necessitating removal to the District Hospital, where devoted attention failed against the handicap of her years, and she passed
quietly out in her sleep. The funeral was held on Tuesday morning, 26th August, from the Central Methodist Church, where the Rev. T. Bainbridge, B.A., conducted the service, and Mr. D. L. Miller played the "Dead March" in "Saul," while the service at the graveside was conducted by the Rev. R. E. Bacon, Principal of Thornburgh College, a valued personal friend of the departed and her husband. She leaves
a family, of five sons and seventeen grandchildren. She was buried at the side of her grandson, Garth, who died two days before her. There have been three deaths in the family since they came to Queensland 35 years ago, and all in August.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
