I have two answers for recent queries.

Mareeba is supposedly a local Aboriginal term meaning 'meeting of the
waters' or 'place to meet'. The town was first settled by John Atherton in
1880. A monument at the northern end of the town declares: 'John Atherton -
1837-1917. Pioneer of the Tableland. Founder of Mareeba. Settled at Emerald
End Station on the 'Barron' 1876. Discovered tin and named locality Tinaroo.
Led party to Wild River (Herberton) where he had previously discovered tin.
Erected Mareeba's first house near this site 1880'.

For Lori,
No sign of a marriage or children to George RAYNOR and Elizabeth Ellen
BAKER.

Teresa.
