| Farm in Highfields, Queensland, Australia |
April 1912
Highfields, Queensland, Australia
Dear Sister,
It is with regret that I write to inform you of the passing of your brother James earlier this month.
As you know James bought a small farm only twelve miles from Toowoomba in the town of Highfields after his retirement. The land, known to be perfect for agriculture, dairying, pig raising, vegetable and fruit growing and grazing, kept James busy these past twelve years.
By my reckoning, James was seventy-two years old, a fine age. His obituary reads ... many friends of Mr James Warner of Highfields will regret to learn of his death ... the deceased ... leaves a grown family of five sons and six daughters to mourn this sad event. Except for a paralytic strike, his general health was good up till lately.
Your loving sister-in-law, Isabella Warner
