• Notes

  Thomas Arthur (Tom) ATHERTON was born on 8 February 1866 in Mount Hedlow Station, Via Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, died on 10 February 1935 in Maroochy District Hospital, Nambour, Queensland, Australia160 at age 69, and was buried in Nambour Cemetery, Queensland, Australia. Thomas the eldest son of Edmund came to Cliftonville as an infant and after helping to run the local property for some time decided to move further north. Accompanied by his father he moved nearly 4000 head of cattle to `Midlothian` Station near Normanton where he settled. After leaving `Midlothian` he moved to `Woonan`, `Pretty Bend` and `Lenton` Stations and later grew sugar cane at `Bli Bli` in the Nambour district. Thomas' wife Jane Bardsley wrote an Outback Letterbook "Across the Years 1896-1936" where she includes references to Thomas: http://www.brotherhoodbooks.org.au/books/across-the-years-1896--1936-jane-bardsleys-outback-letterbook-9780207154560/
