Townsville Daily Bulletin 12 Jan 1937
The death of Mr. John Robert (Bob) Cox, of The Rocks Station, Ayr, occurred at Ayr early on Monday morning, and cast a gloom over the Lower Burdekin district. Deceased met with an accident on Tuesday of last week, when supervising the dipping of some cattle. The horse he was riding reared and fell back on him, causing serious injury, and it was to the after affects from this that he succumbed. Bob Cox was one of the best known and respected citizens in this district. A son of Mr. Harry Cox, he was reared among cattle, and became a particularly keen Judge. When the Cox drafts of fats came into the Ayr and Townsville shows each year, he was just as keenly interested as his father and both shows will miss a splendid supporter. A happy and helpful nature won for him a very wide circle of friends and there will be widespread sorrow at the news of his death. Mr. Cox, who was in his forties, leaves a wife and four children, to whom general sympathy will be extended in their bereavement. The funeral took place at Ayr on Monday afternoon and was very largely attended.

Personal Notes:
A comment added on ancestry by PARkerR98
Sarah Ann Stanley came to Australia on "Scottish Knight" at age 21, & she is listed as a Remittance passenger. There were three types of passenger, Assisted, Free and Remittance. I do not know what this means....would love to know. She was with Jane White who was also a witness at her marriage. They are listed on page 1283. I have no details as to what year but most likely 1876 or 1877 as she married in 1877 at age 22. The marriage cert says she was born in Ballanderry, Tipperary, but Google tells me Ballinderry is in the nth near Dublin, and BALLANGARRY is in Tipperary. [ a case of Chinese whispers????]. Her parents were given as William Stanley, farmer, and Catherine Skerritt. I am at a dead end here so far.
