Bowen Independent 9 May 1934
THE LATE ROBERT WILLIAM
DRINKWATER.
AN OLD PIONEER.
The death of Robert William
Drinkwater recently at the age of 83
years severed a connecting link with
the early history of this district
(says “Proserpine Guardian”).
The late Mr. Drlnkwater was born
at Cley, Norfolk, England on the 30th
November, 1850. When he was 17
years of age he fancied a life at sea
and went to sea, following that life,
for 14 years. In those days the ships
were practically all sailing vessels,
and he was the bosun hand pn four
different sailing ships, the discharges
from which he treasured and kept the
whole of his life., While engaged in
this life he practically travelled the
whole world, and helped in the repair
of the Atlantic cable , when at sea. He
joined an immigrant ship, the Al
bany, a steam boat, and sailed for Aus
tralia in 1881, there being 300 immi
grants on the boat, including Mr. D.
R. Thomas, of Lethebrook. He land
ed at Cooktown, and there he joined
a circus and remained with it for
some time, he taking his part as the
“clown” at times. He left the circus
at Mackay and went to Bowen, where
he opened a business barbering, oys
ter saloon tobacconist and fruit.
While in Bowen he always had his
sport duck shooting, and he was a not
ed champion with the gun. After a
few years he left the business and
then went to Croydon, gold mining for
about two years. Then he went mar
supial shooting with Mr. J. Edgerton,
one of the old Bowenites. Mr. Drink
water then came, to Kelsey Creek and
selected a piece of land ,aud still
followed marsupial. shooting until he
had the misfortune to lose an eye,
which compelled him to give up that
vocation. Farming then engaged his
attention and he grew tobacco for his
first crop, afterwards growing cotton,
and then went into the cane industry,
which he carried on until failing
health prevented him from following
the heavy work attached to it.
The late Mr. Drlnkwater was mar
ried in 1885 in Bowen to Mary Meiz
ner, a member of an old Bowen fam
ily. He lived for 38 years at Kelsey
Creek and well remembered the time
when Mr. August Schumaker kept the
first hotel in Proserpine. He was one
of the oldest pioneers in the district.
He left a wife, and a family of
seven daughters and three sons to
mourn their sad loss. The daughters
are Mrs. A. Chauntler, Mrs. Graham,
Mrs. Harry Stafford. Mrs. Walter
Simpson, Mrs, Joe Rogers, Mrs. ,T.
Morris and Miss J. Drlnkwater. The
sons are Messrs. Charlie, Dick and
Fred Drlnkwater.
