Note 2: Burial Name John Darwin Death Date 15Apr1875 Death Place Queensland Father's Name James Darwin Mother's Name Elizabeth Porter Registration Year 1875 Registration Place Queensland Registration Number 000073 Page number 3523 The Queenslander (Brisbane) 1 May 1875 Port Dennison Fatal Accident. —On Thursday evening, James Darwin, a steady, honest, hardworking man, who did his best to support a large family by shooting and selling wild ducks and in other ways, was drowned close to the jetty steps. Mr. Bristowe had provided him with a boat and net, and latterly he had been engaged in fishing. On Thursday evening he went out and returned safely with his fish, which he sold in town, and afterwards had tea with his wife and family. He then went down to secure his boat and net, and it is supposed that in hauling in the boat he slipped off the steps and, not being a good swim mer, was drowned. Mr. Young, who was on the jetty at the time, heard a cry and saw Darwin throw up his arms before sinking for the last time. In about half an hour the body was re covered. The members of the Bowen Dramatic Company will give an entertainment in their theatre, Dalrymple street, on the 27th instant, in aid of the wife and family of James Darwin.
