Mackay lost one of its earliest pion- eers, and one who did much for the advancement of the district. The deceased, who attained the age of 71 years, was a native of Scotland. He came to Mackay about 1870 from Peak Downs, where he had been en- gaged as a carrier. Upon arrival here he pursued a similar calling, being engaged with his team between Mackay and outlying stations. Dur- ing that time he took up a selection in the neighbourhood of the Barrie Estate, Eton. About 1880 he sel- ected "Aberdeen," also in the Eton district, and engaged in cane grow- ing, which he continued up till four or five years ago, when he took up his residence in own. The deceased was one of the promoters of the North Eton Central Mill, one of the first two central mills to be erected in the district. He took an active interest in the progress of the fac- tory from its inception up to the time of his death, and occupied a seat on the directorate. Of a jovial nature the late Mr. Ironside made firm friends of all with whom he came in contact, and the news of his death will be learnt with keen regret. The deceased took ill a couple of months ago, and had been ailing ever since. He was twice married, his first wife predeceasing him 13 or 14 years ago, while his second wife, who was the relict of the late Mr. H. Langford, of Eton, survives him. He leaves a family of four, three daughters and one son. The former are Mesdames H. Robertson (Mackay), T. Wolfe (New South Wales), and T. Cowan (Mirani), while Mr. George Ironside, his son, is farming at Eton. The funeral took place yesterday after- noon, the Rev. D. Galloway officiating at the graveside.
