Mackay - obit

Townsville Daily Bulletin 5 April 1946
The death has occurred in Mackay
after an illness extending over two
years of Mrs. Annie Maria Rowse, re-
lict of the late Harry Rowse, mine
manager, who was accidentally killed
at Benmon's Block, Croydon, in 1906.
The deceased was in her 75th. year,
of a quiet disposition she made many
friends. The couple were married
in 1889 at Georgetown and lived in
the Gulf country until 1906, when Mrs.
Rowse and family made their home
at Chillagoe. In 1912 they moved to
Townsville. After some years the de-
ceased lady moved to Picnic Bay,
where she was hostess at Hotel Mag-
netic until 1935. Her old friends at
Picnic Bay were very dear to her.
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.
E. Potter, Methodist Church, officiat-
ing at the burial. All seven children
survived mourn the loss of a won-
derful mother. They are: Harry
Rowse, Picnic Bay; Mrs. H. Notting-
ham, Townsville; Mrs. E. A. Quinn,
Mackay; Mrs. C. L. Hayles, Cairns;
Mrs. J. L. Wells, Lithgow; Mrs. D. E.
O'Donnell, Brisbane, and Ben, West
End, Townsville. There are also
eleven grand children and three sis-
ters, Mrs. F. Jenkins, Townsville, Mrs.
E. McPherson, Bouldercombe, and
Mrs. G. Roberts, Mareeba.
