PERSONAL
DEATH OF BLACKSTONE
PIONEER.
Mrs. Harriett Robinson, who died on Tuesday, was a pioneer of the Ipswich district. Following twelve months' illness she died at her residence, Blackstone-road, Silkstone. "The mother of Blackstone," as Mrs. Robinson was affectionately called by her many friends, spent 77 years in Australia. She conscientiously helped her husband, the late Mr. Enoch Robinson, in his pioneering work. Eighty-four years ago she was born in England, and came to Australia with her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Alford, when she was seven years of age. When the ship Merry Pleasant, in which they left England, arrived at Moreton Bay, the family disembarked and some time later lived at Bundamba. In 1868 the late Mrs. Robinson was married. At the same time her sister, Miss Emily Alford, married Mr. Cornelius Robinson, brother of her husband. It was the first double wedding held in Ipswich. Previously the late Mr. Robinson had settled with his parents at Booval, most of which was scrub-covered in those days. The couple lived at Riverview for six years. Some time later Mr. Robinson was employed carting coal from the newly-opened colliery at Blackstone to the wharf on the Bremer River, opposite Wharf-street.
The late Mrs. Robinson was an enthusiastic worker for the Blackstone Congregational Church, being a foundation member. She is survived, by five sons, Messrs. William, Ernest, James, Enoch, and Norman Robinson; two daughters, Mesdames W. Bognuda and H. Roots; 23 grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, and there was a big attendance. The service was conducted by Mr. Gillard (Brisbane), of the Seventh Day Adventist faith.
