ROWSE—In loving memory of Harry
Rowse, who was accidentally killed
at Bennion's Block, Croydon, Xmas
Eve, 1906.
(Inserted by his loving wife and
family).

Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton) 26 Dec 1906
CROYDON. December 25.
Mr. Henry Rowse, the manager of Ben-
nion's Block, fell down a shaft yesterday
morning. He was engaged in fitting in a
fresh column in the pump when the ladder
gave way and he fell a distance of 60 ft.,
when the ladder stuck in the shaft. Mr.
Rowse's body hit the top of the ladder,
which entered the body and held it fast till
a rescue party of miners descended. The
injured man was brought to the surface,
but died shortly after his admittance to
the Hospital.

For some time she made her home
again in Townsville, and then moved
to Mackay. She was privately laid
to rest in Mackay cemetery, the Rev.
