Note 5: Burial record Bowen Independent 29 July 1949 Obituary The sudden passing of Arthur James Darwen on Saturday night last removed from our midst a very popular figure in the working and sporting spheres of Bowen. "Artie", as he was familiarly known, was 60 years of age at the time of death. The deceased had been under medical treatment for some time, but after a week off duty had resumed work during the previous week as a leading hand at the Coke Works, where he had been employed since its inception. The keenest of fishermen, he had planned to make his regular fishing trip on Sunday, but death intervened. The news came as a shock to his family and many, friends. Artie had no enemies, being a good honest toiler, who had worked in many parts of the district, earning the affection and respect of all for his | quiet, good natured ways. As a boating and fishing enthusiast his name will be long remembered. For many years he was a noted skipper on the harbour, in the craft Growler, Foam, Surprise and Acorn. A hardy sea farer, he sailed the 19 foot Foam to Townsville for regattas. On one occasion, with his uncle, the late W. H. Darwen, he sailed the Foam and the 28ft. Irene from Townsville to Bowen, with the two boats lashed together. In later years, Artie’s favourite past time was fishing, and he was noted for his uncanny skill at this sport. A native of Bowen, he had frequented the harbour’s fishing spots since boy hood; and; it could he safely said that he never missed. When others returned from the day empty-handed, his bag would contain the inevitable slate bream and other fish, hard to catch. It was appropriate that he should have been called by the greatest of Fishermen, on the eve of a quiet day, with his gear ready. Deep sympathy is extended to his sorrowing wife, daughters Mesdames - J. Pantall (Bowen) and Nielson (Mt. Isa) and sons Charlie, Ned and Arthur, and his sister Mrs. W. Mein (Sydney) and brothers Albert, (“Sonny”), John and Bill (Sydney). The funeral took place at 4 p.m. on Sunday from the Salvation Army Hall, Captain Wight performing the last sad rites at the graveside. A large number of fellow employees and friends formed a guard of honour at the cemetery entrance.
