      "[Stan Tappenden] thinks James Henry Knight died in Maryborough about 1955/56. He remembers going to the house to help clean it up and the bathroom contained all these old razor blades. The house was the one Mum said was her uncle's in Palla s Street next to where Mum was when she died."

  • Notes 

    • Doug MADSEN told Lyn DAVIES about his grandfather, James Henry KNIGHT:
      James walked from Brisbane to Maryborough to find work, and worked on the wharves. The Kanakas were rounded up and on a boat off shore of Maryborough, and they had to ensure they did not come ashore. His daughters had to run from Pallas Stree t to the wharf at lunch time with his lunch wrapped in a tea towel to keep it hot.
