DEATH. MYLNE.—On the 31st May, Algernon Guthrie, youngest son of Graham Mylne, Esq., aged 5 months.
Helena Mylne - State Library of Queensland.
Graham Douglas Mylne - State Library of Queensland. Graham D. Mylne (d. 1876) married Helena White (1840-1922) in 1861 and had seven children.
Captain Graham Mylne, M.L.A., and his wife, Helena White, buried a five months old child on May 31, 1868. Mylne in that year was member for the Warrego. The Mackenzie Ministry was in office, and in a precarious position. Not a soul of either the Council or Assembly is alive to-day. South Brisbane was represented by T. B. Stephens, North Brisbane by A. B. Pritchard and Dr. O'Doherty, the Valley by Charles Lllley. The 20 members of the Council, and the 31 of the Assembly are all dead. Mylne spoke on the position of the Ministry, who had been
DEFEATED ON THE ADDRESS-IN-REPLY,
by 13 to 11, and the Governor refused to accept their resignation. Mylne’s wife, the mother of the child at Paddington, was a Miss White, sister of Albert White, of the Logan River, now of Bluff Downs, west of Townsvllle. Besides his station on the Logan, Albert White held old Coombabah Station which took all the country from the Coomera River to Nerang, including Southport.
In 1870, the Manager of Coombabah was old Sanily Gordon, who kept a whole pack of kangaroo dogs, the leaders of which were usually about a mile ahead of Gordon on the march. Present writer was a youth of 17, when on the first visit to Queensland, in 1870, and we had two days kangarooo hunting with Gordon. Southport was then covered by heavy forest, with rank undergrowth, and long grass, full of wallabies.
Albert White, the present owner of Bluff Downs on the head of the Burdekin, was in Brisbane last week. He is one of the finest specimens of men in Queensland. He was a young man when owner of Nindooimbah and Coombabah. His sister, who
MARRIED GRAHAM MYLNE,
is still alive and well, in Sydney, but Mylne died many years ago, at Eatonswell Station, on the Clarence.
