PASSING OF THE PIONEER Mrs. E. N. Brown THE death occurred at Kalamia, Ayr, N.Q., on March 11 of Ethel N. Brown, of Goolagimbi, Jackson, after a long illness at the age of 73.

Born of a N.S.W. grazing family, she came to Queensland in 1909, marrying the late Philip Henry Brown, of Brislington, Parramatta, and settling at Goolagimbi, where she lived until last year when she relinquished grazing pursuits and handed over the property to her only son, Ronald Lindon. A gifted musician and trained vocalist, she will be remembered for her philanthropic use of her talents.

Her husband predeceased her in 1916 but she gallantly carried on the properly with the aid of her two children. She is survived by one son (Ronald Lindon), one daughter, Namoi (Mrs. F. E. M. Clarkson), four grandsons, two brothers and two sisters.
