Amos Braysher, who died on September 27, 1871, aged 35, was the landlord of "Braysher’s Hotel," now the Metropolitan, Edward-street. His widow married Duncan, and after Duncan died, Mrs. Duncan KEPT THE HOTEL FOR YEARS. Mrs. Duncan's Metropolitan Hotel was the favorite hotel for squatters in those days and probably then the best hotel in Brisbane.
