Johanna Churchward, relict of the late Mr. A. Churchward, pioneer colonist of the Burnett and Wide Bay. The deceased lady, who was in her 85th year, was born at Totnes, Devonshire, England, and arrived at Burnett Heads, Bundaberg, with her husband, in the sailing ship "Silhet", on September 18th, 1883 - just over 50 years ago - the jubilee anniversary of the arrival having recently been celebrated in Bundaberg with much eclat. Shortly after landing in Queensland Mr. and Mrs. Churchward went to Maryborough where they conducted a dairy for some time.

Accordingly they selected a farm at Bullyard on the Mount Perry line. There they lived for a number of years, their energy meeting with success. Upon retiring they returned to Maryborough, making their home in Pallas street, where they continued to reside to the end of their days. The deceased lady is survived by a family of four sons and three daughters, Messrs. Fred and Edwin (both of Urangan), William H. C. (Bundaberg) and Albert Churchward (Boonooroo), and Mesdames James Crane, F. Barton and J. Ammenhauser (Maryborough), thirty grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren, to whom sympathy will be extended in their bereavement. Mr. W. Churchward is at present on a visit to Central Western Queensland and is not expected home in Bundaberg for some days. The funeral of the late Mrs. Churchward took place on Sunday afternoon from her late residence. The pall bearers at the residence and cemetery were Messrs. J. F. Churchward (son of deceased), N. Churchward, and A. and A. Ammenhauser (grandsons), and J. C. Ammenhauser (son-in-law). The Rev. F. H. Smith officiated at the residence and the graveside.
