Death of an Old Pioneer, Mrs Cooke, of Goombungee.
Gradually the pioneers of Queensland are dropping off, and the last to go is Mrs Mary Cooke, of Goombungee, after a residence of 49 years in Queensland, 28 of which were spent in Goombungee. This aged and much respected lady has left a large circle of friend and many - both settler and Traveller who can refer to a time her generosity and kind-heartedness helped them in time of need. Generous to a fault and ready to sacrifice herself for others the deceased claimed the respect and love of all in the district. Her experiences in the colony would serve as interesting subject matter for a book. Nearly fifty years ago she was one of the few white women who braved the dangers of station life in the West, and many an interesting adventure could she narrate. From the suffering and bravery of such as Mrs Cooke are due to the comforts of civilization and settlement now enjoyed by Western settlers. With her husband they were the first settlers in Goombungee district, and during their residence in that district has earned the respect of all. She has a family of five sons and three daughters. Of her married sons, Mr. J. Cooke is stationmaster at Gympie, Mr. G. Cooke, J.P. resides at Goombungee and the only married daughter is Mrs G. W. Hurford, of Toowoomba.
