William Charlton Kable (1853-1922)

Obituary
The death occurred on Friday night, after a protracted illness, of Mr. Wm. Charlton Kable, of Mirani. The eldest of a large family, he arrived from Westwood in the early days of Mackay. To his initiative and resource lies the honor of the first cheese factory, which he established at Brightley, Eton. Many of the "older hands" assert that a beautiful quality of cheese was manufactured. He later entered upon storekeeping, and was for a number of years managing a business at Mirani. Deceased was 68 years of age, and leaves a widow and family of four, Mrs. Walter Lowther, of Eton, being one of the family. The funerai took place yesterday morning. Rev. I. Butterworth officiating at the graveside.
