Albert Ernest Attkins (1872-1947)

Obituary
There passed away in Brentwood Hospital, Muswellbrook, on Friday last, following a lengthy illness, Rev. Albert Ernest Attkins, retired Minister of the Church of England, and one of its most colorful clerics. The old gentleman, like "Flynn of the Inland," rendered yeoman spiritual service in North Queensland and Brisbane Dioceses, with his last appointment in the Sherwood Parish, near Brisbane. He was predeceased by his wife 18 months ago. In his 75th year, the late Rev. Attkins spent a good deal of his time with his sister, Mrs. W. A. Wharton, of "Cornerville," Tomalla, who largely cared for him in his declining years, aggravated as they were by illness.
