Mentioned in obit of husband

Daily Mercury (Mackay) 28 March 1941
MRS. ISABELLA PRATT.
Whilst busily knitting socks for
soldiers abroad on the' veranda of her
home, in Juliet-street, yesterday
afternoon, Mrs. David Pratt, one of
the most widely respected Identities
of the Mackay district over very
many years, suddenly put her knitting
down in her lap and passed away
peacefully.
News of the death of this grand old
lady, wife of Mr. David Pratt, shocked
the community, for it was utterly
unexpected. Only that afternoon Mrs.
Pratt had seemed in the most robust
Health and had sent for more wool
to continue her patriotic work. Mrs.
Pratt would have been 84 years of
age in July.
A little over three years ago Mr.
and Mrs. Pratt celebrated their
Diamond Wedding at the residence of
the Hamilton family, "Iolanthe,"
James-street.
The gathering on that occasion was
notable by the fact that four gener
ations of the Pratt family, number
ing 45, were present and a very large
assemblage of representative citizens.
It was an outstanding landmark, not
only in the lives of the aged couple
themselves, but also in the wide
spread interest that Mackay and dis
trict had in the event.
The late Mrs. Pratt leaves a hus
band, two sons and five daughters.
The eldest son, William, died at Kolijo
a few years ago, and another, David,
made the supreme sacrifice in the
Great War. The other members of
the family are: Mr. F. D. Pratt, of
Kolijo, and Mr. D. Pratt, of Baker's
Creek. The daughters are: Mrs. C.
P. Mau, Mrs. H. G. Johansen and Mrs.
H. Petersen, of Rosella; Mrs. P. Rob
ertson, of George-street, Mackay; Mrs.
K. Sprogoe, of the Chalet, Eungella.
The deceased lady, although not
enjoying the best of health for some
time past, was not really ill. She was
sitting on her veranda knitting, and
suddenly was attacked by a seizure
about 2 o'clock. Medical assistance
was summoned, but life was extinct.
Only a brief period previously Mrs.
Pratt conversed with a friend, whom
she told she was quite well, and
requested her girl to bring more
wool.
In the present as in the last war,
Mrs. Pratt did an immense amount
of knitting for the soldiers.
Married in Scotland on September
30, 1877, with her husband she
reached Mackay by the sailing ship
Hannah Landells In September 58
years ago. On this vessel also came
the late Mr. R. Hamilton, and the
families have been close friends over
the intervening years.
The late Mrs. Pratt's life was
marked by a spirit of active charity
and loyalty, and many acts of kind
ness had been unostentatiously done.
Like her husband, the late Mrs.
Pratt was held in the highest esteem
by all who had the pleasure of her
acquaintance. The couple became
engaged in dairying near the Town
Common early after their arrival and
by Industry went on to success. Her
kindly disposition endeared her to all
associated with her. but she was one
who was always closely attached to
her home and family.
