  The Miles District has lost one of its early pioneers with the death of Mrs Priscilla Sarah Olive Mary Bidgood of "The Pines".
  Born in Crow's Nest on February 20, 1894, the eldest daughter of John Maddern, she had two sisters and three brothers, and the descendants of their families are well known in Southern Queensland especially in the field of sport.
  Her mother was formerly Mary Ann Cossart, another well-known name. In fact a book has been written about the Cossart family and their descendants.
  She was married to John William Bidgood in 1913 and a few years later they came to Miles and selected land which, in the early years, was known as "Coo-ee".
  After many years of trials and tribulations of living in log shanties and tin huts, of witnessing the devastation of the prickly pear menace, of seeing selectors pack up and leave because of the severe conditions, of bringing into the world four sons and five daughters, the selection eventually became known as "The Pines", a well-developed grazing and fattening property.
  Mrs Bidgood was held in the highest regard by her family and many friends.
  She is survived by her husband John William, of "The Pines", three sons Arthur Leslie ("The Pines"), Reginald ("Coraldale", Baralaba) and Gordon James ("Camden" Condamine): five daughters Joy (Mrs Randall, Chinchilla), Eileen (Mrs Teis, Lowood), Violet (Mrs Henry, Condamine), Joan (Mrs O'Donnell, Chinchilla) and Maureen (Mrs Moy, Toowoomba): also 32 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren."
