OBITUARY MRS. L H W BEITZEL The death occurred at Kingaroy on Sunday of Bertha Augusta Beitzel, wife of Mr LHW Beitzel, Knight Street, Kingaroy She was 84 years of age. Mr and Mrs Beitzel have been residents of the district for many years, and held in high esteem. Widespread sympathy has been felt for him and members of their family in their bereavement. Members of the family are Mesdames H Ferguson (Kingaroy), H Nugent (Kingaroy), E Hurley (Brisbane), W Heiner (Brisbane), J Strain (Brisbane), J Binnington (Brisbane), and A Vail Sydney), and Messrs Louis Beitzel and August Beitzel (Kingaroy). The funeral took place from the Kingaroy Methodist Church to Taabinga Village cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. J. Barrel Gaydon officiated. Mrs Beitzel was a member of the Stephan family, who came to Queensland from Germany when she was three years old. Of her 81 years in this country Mrs Beitzel spent 45 of them in Nanango and Kingaroy districts. Her parents settled at Engelsberg, some 27 miles from Ipswich and near where Harrisville now stands. When she was 12 years only, her mother was injured by a falling tree and was crippled. The little girl bravely gave her attention to the affairs of the housetold, taking her mother's place where she could in assisting her father end the members of the family. She grew up in this district, and it is 65 years since she married Mr Louis Henry William Beitzel at Ipswich and went to live at Roadvale. Mr Beitzel shifted to Ipswich, where he had a farm, and then to Rosewood. The call of the South Burnett was heard, and after coming to Nanango on horseback to inspect a property there he decided to buy it. When a house was built he brought his wife to it, and the family was reared there. It is just 30 years since he disposed of the Nanango property and came to Kingaroy. The home in Knight St is well known to most Kingaroy people, especially those who have seen the town grow, and it has been the scene of many happy family gatherings and bore always a welcome to a wide circle of friends. Mr and Mrs Betizel celebrated their silver, golden, diamond and sapphire weddings with happy family gatherings. Mr Beitzel is now 90 years of age, and proudly claims to be a native of Australia. They went to the marriage in Ipswich in a German waggon on which bags of corn were used for seats. HOUSEHOLD NAME IN NANANGO Mrs Beitzel had a special interest in many Nanango families, as for a number of years she gave midwifery attention when called upon. Altogether 110 robust Nanango natives had her attention on their entry to the world. She saw all the fascinating, if at times difficult, passage of the settlement and development at the Nanango and Kingaroy districts enacted, and she shared personally in the work and sacrifice of the pioneers. It was only on Monday morning last that the 65 years of true love and a very active and and honourable partnership was broken by her peaceful death. Unexpected, it came as a shock to her husband and family. Mrs. Beitzel retired to bed on Monday night as usual, and was found dead in her bed on Monday morning by her eldest daughter, Mrs Ferguson, who has been looking after her father and mother for some time at their home. Like many other Australian parents, Mr and Mrs Beitsel suffered through the Great World War of 1914-1918, in which their, eldest son, Frederick, paid the supreme sacrifice. He was killed in action with the A.I.F, at Bullecourt, in 1917. A daughter died in infancy. Besides her widower, Mrs Beitzel is survived by seven daughters and two sons, 16 grandchildren, and 12 great grand children.
