  Quite a shadow was cast over the district last week when it became known that on October 1st, one of the very oldest residents in the person of Mr Louis Robinson, of Janefield, had passed to rest. The deceased gentleman was born in Hanover, Germany, in April, 1832, but at the early age of 15 years being attracted by the inducements of that go-ahead city. Now York, he decided to leave home and try his fortunes m the new world. Though entirely unacquainted with the people and language, he fought his way in that busy and populous city, and soon acquired knowledge of its business life.
  But in 1852 the news of Victoria's hidden wealth offered such attraction that he determined, being now in the full vigour of youth, to share the lot of the gold-digger. During a period of 10 years he became acquainted with the varying experiences of the miner's life. His time was spent chiefly around Ballarat, Maryborough and Ararat, the last named of which he became acquainted with the lady, who afterwards became his wife and who for 39 years has been his faithful partner, and who now in confidence of a future meeting has laid him to rest.
  In 1863 the deceased, with his wife, visited Sydney and Brisbane. The latter place was at that time, in a very uncitylike condition, it being no rare thing to see bullock teams bogged in some of the principal streets. Just at this time the Darling Downs was becoming renowned both for its fertility and climate, and this place the deceased gentleman desired to visit, but the journey up tho Range had to be undertaken in a very primitive style, a horse-dray being the only available conveyance. Here the aspect was of such a pleasing nature that this district was at once decided upon as a future home.
  Toowoomba was as yet in the early stages of its settlement, a few old fashioned houses, and the remainder white tents, being the only places of residence. After gaining a few years experience in agricultural life, the deceased selected land at Merritts Creek, and here made the home which he had up till his death occupied, and where his family of four boys and four girls were all reared.
  Since his residence in the district be has always been closely associated with church work, and with a few others of the pioneers, greatly assisted the establishment of the Methodist cause, which at present flourishes there. For some twelve years he held the positions of Church Steward and Sunday School Superintendant, but of late, owing to increased infirmity, was compelled to delegate these offices to others. Right up till his decease he always manifested a keen interest in matters religious, and all church workers found a shelter beneath his hospitable roof, and an inspiration from his society. Till about three weeks ago he was in his usual health, but apparently be was seized by a severe cold, -and, though everything possible was done by his medical adviser, pneumonia developed, and he passed quietly away on Tuesday at noon, surrounded by all his family except, one son, who arrived an hour too late to see him breath his last.
  For some weeks prior to his death the deceased gentleman was greatly depressed owing to
  the sad news of the death of his son in South Africa from the same cause as that which was soon to carry him over to his long and peaceful home.
  The funeral took place on Wednesday, October 2nd, and though the notice was too brief to allow the attendance of many distant friends, the large and representative procession, as also the beautiful floral tributes, testified (o the very high esteem in which the deceased was held. He had ever been devoted to the cause of education, and a beautiful cross and wreath, arranged by the teachers and scholars of the Merrill's Creek State School, bore testimony to the respect with which the deceased was regarded by some of those whom he had sought to benefit."

James is shown as a 44 year old labourer, born Tollerton, living with his wife Elizabeth 34, born Pickering and children Jane 12, Elizabeth 10, Ann 8, Mary 6 and William 4 born in York.
  
  
• Mary Robinson immigrated on 8 December 1865 to Brisbane, Queensland, with James Robinson.

He was 25 and she was 22 and both gave their usual residence as Meringandan. When Frank signed the marriage register he signed his name a GILLIES instead of Gillis. The transcript of the marriage shows his parents, who witnessed the marriage, as William and Jane GILLIES also. Frank and his descendants have used that spelling ever since. Family hearsay has it that perhaps because Frank was not William's child but Thomas Bridgemans he deliberately changed his name.
  
• On 9 January 1881,Mary Robinson's daughter, Rose Elizabeth Gillies was born in Crow's Nest, Queensland. Her birth registration states her father was a 35 year old carrier born Maitland NSW (this information is incorrect.

• Just when Frank and his family moved to Emu Creek is unclear. James Herbert was born in Crows Nest in 1887, but John Thomas was born in Emu Creek in 1889. Frank and Mary's four children, William, Rose, Frank & Jessie were enrolled in the Crow's Nest School until 1892. Mary may have stayed in Crows Nest with the children until Frank had cleared the block at Djuan (Emu Creek) and built a house. In August 1882, the education department had proposed a school be built at Bum Bum Creek. Frank & Mary's five eldest children including Herbert were listed as potential students. This school was never built. However, a school was built near Frank's property around 1892. This was the Moss View School, and several of the the Gillies children would be in this photo - perhaps Walter (13), Jessie (11), and James Herbert (9). Alice may have been too young. Other children in the photo would be Orlando (12) and Egbert (9) Maddern.
  
  

  Mossview school March 19, 1896. Both Maddern and Gillies children attended the school which was on land donated by Frank Gillies.
• On 21 January 1890 Mary was staying at Ebenezer with her parents at the time their sixth child, John Thomas died at the age of six months.
