Tuesday 7 June 1892
An old and well-known resident of Brisbane, Mr. W. J. F. Cooksloy, died at his residence on Sunday from an affection of the throat, from which he has been a sufferer for years. Mr. Cooksley was bom in Somersetshire, England, in 1830, and was therefore 50 years of ago. His father was a builder, and taught him the same trade. He left England in 1858, and arrived in Moreton Bay the sarao year ; and by dint of hard work soon amassed a little money, which he invested in Sandgate property. He was the first to build at that place, where he erected a cottage for himself. Mr. Cooksley paid two visits to England, the second for the purpose of obtaining the best available medical advice. In 18S1 he was elected an alderman for the first borough of Sandgate, and in 1885 was chosen mayor for that borough. He was requested to occupy the scat for a second time, but owing to ill-health ho declined the honour. He was also at ona time a member of the Toombul Divisional Board, and at the time of his death was a member of the Hamilton Divisional Board. Ho was a direotor, at their earlier stages, of two of the most successful building societies in Bris- bane. In politics he was a stanch Liberal, and at elections always worked hard for the party. He was twice married, and loaves a widow and laige family. The funeral took place yesterday.
