OBITUARY

"LATE MR. E. F. HEILBRONN.

With the passing of Mr. Edward Farrow Heilbronn, there was removed one of Cairns earliest citizens. Mr. Heilbronn was born in Gympie in 1874, and was, at the age of 12 years, apprenticed to the "Gympie Miner" (the leading gold field's paper of the day) for a period of nine years. On the completion of this term he resigned, to take up mining persuits, and, worked in the Scottish mine for three years. Health reasons compelled him to come to North Queensland, which he did, and joined the printing staff of the Ravenswood Newspaper Company. After three years in Ravenswood. Mr. Heilbronn accepted a position on the staff of the "Cairns Daily Argus," and such position he held for a period of 16 years. After the "Argus" was sold to the company which now controls. the "Cairns Daily Times," Mr. Heilbronn's health .compelled him to seek open air work, and he followed various occupations for a number of years, before he joined the Waterside Workers Federation. At various times, while, a waterside worker, Mr. Heilbronn relieved men on the staff of the "Cairns Post" and the "Cairns Daily Times." About two. years ago Mr. Heilbronn took ill, and never recovered but passed away on February 19. 1933. leaving a wife and a family of four sons and one daughter to mourn their sad loss.
