Note 3: Reg No 1910/C171 - parents George Boulter and Eliza Cole Cairns Post 12 Sept 1910 A PIONEER GONE With the death of Mr. George James Boulter, father of Mr. G. J. Boulter, Cairns Land Commissioner, which occurred at Bowen some days ago, there is removed another of the connecting links of early day Queens- land. The late Mr. Boulter was born in England in 1837, and was educated at Bath College. At the age of 13 he entered the navy as a midshipman, subsequently joining the merchant service, and visiting vari- ous parts of the world. It was during this time that Mr. Boulter assisted in the crushing of the slave parties on the African coast. In the early fifties he gave up the sea and came to Victoria, visiting Ballarat, Bendigo, Mount Black- wood and other places as a miner. Afterwards he abandoned these pur- suits, and came to New South Wales with Cox Bros., taking up the country now known as the Dubbo stock centre. From there, accom- panied by Mr. A. H. Wilmington, he came to Port Denison, with the first large draft of cattle to stock Mr. F. S. E. Holt's Salisbury Plains Sta- tion, outside Bowen. This was in 1864, and here he decided to settle and carried on business as an auc- tioneer. His family consists of 8 boys and two girls, all of whom are living, the present Cairns Land Commissioner being the eldest son. At the time of his death the late Mr. Boulter had reached the ripe age of 73 years, and towards the end suffered with pneumonia, which was the cause of his demise.

Note 5: Reg No 1925/C39 - Catherine Boulter - parents John Hughes and Catherine Madeley Bowen Independant 7 FEB 1925 THE PASSING OF ANOTHER VERY OLD RESIDENT. Again it is our sad duty to chren icle the passing of another of ous very old, well known and respected residents in the person of (Mrs) Katherine Madeley Boulter, relict of the late G. J. Boulter, which took place at the Hospital on Thursday morning last, at the ripe old age of 75 years and 9 months. The late Mrs Boulter had been blind for the past seven years but her wonderful patience and bright kindly nature helped her to battle through that terrible experience and she was al ways cheerful, even in her last hours her end being peaceful.. Before the funeral, which was well attended; left for the ceme tery, a service was, held in the Church of England at 4.30 o’clock, ’ Rev. Robertson afterwards perform ing the last sad rites at the grave side. Seventy years ago the late Mrs Boulter came to the country with her parents, the late Mr and Mrs Hughes, who ware noted for the wonderful ointment they manu factured and was married in Bowen and resided here ever since, for the greater part of the time at Rich mond, Don River, where she was famed for her open hearted hospital ity and callers were always made, welcome in'the good old style, there being always something in the cup- board. She had a wonderfully re tentive memory right up to the last ; and could,remember historical events that happened great num bers of years ago.'In the year 1911 at the time of the King’s Coronation she went to England with her son Walter, visited a sister, in Man chester and brought back a wonder ful store of information about the trip that was most interesting to anyone who cared to hear it. She reared a family of eight sons and two daughters, her husband - having predeceased , her 14 years ago, and leaves seven sons and two daughters —John, Walter (Syd ney), James (Sydney), Hilton, Edgar, Clement and Victor, Mrs Opllinson (Edmonton, Cairns) and Mrs P. Sheen (Collinsville), 25 grand- children, and two sisters, Mrs Austin and Mrs Fitzalan. ;

Note 7: Reg No 1939/C1277 - parents George James Boulter and Kate Hughes Bowen Independent 26 June 1939 Obituary. EDGAR HERBERT SIMSON BOULTER. One of Bowen’s best-known business men in the person of Mr. Edgar Herbert Simson Boulter, passed away at the Kennedy Hospital on Wednesday morning last, after a sudden and fatal attack of pneumonia. His passing came as a distinct shock to his many friends, for he had appeared in the best of health a few days previously, and had participated in a fishing trip at the weekend. Deceased was born at Bowen in 1879, being sixth of the eight sons of the late G. J. Boulter. He learnt his trade as a saddler in Townsville, and commenced business in Bowen in 1903, being still in that occupation at the time of his death. He was a quiet and friendly type of man, who did not take, any part in public life, but made himself greatly liked by all with whom he came in contact. He was for many years a prominent member of the Bowen Rifle Club, and a foundation member of the Bowen Bowling Club, being a very enthusiastic bowler. Deceased was also well-known in lodge circles, being to the fore in both the Druids and Masonic Lodges. He is survived by four brothers, Watty and Jim (Sydney), Clem (Innisfail), Vic (Townsville) and two sisters, Mesdames Collinson and Sheen (Cairns), and by his wife and two sons, Les and Ron. Deepest sympathy was extended to them in their sudden loss. The esteem in which the deceased was held was illustrated by the attendance at the funeral, which was one of the largest seen in Bowen. The cortege left the Masonic Temple at 4.30 p.m. on Wednesday, Mr. Harris performing the Church of England rites, and Rev. Asboe the Masonic service. Fellow Masons formed a guard of honour at the cemetery gates.
