Notes for Anne Maria Murray
From Elizabeth Wilson, 12 Sep 2008, ...
I have just been given a new photo which I have attached. It is of Anne Murray - daughter of John Murray and Anne Dungan - born 1859 at Baldwinstown, Dublin. With her are her two sons John and William McMonagle.
I do have her obituary:
Mrs Edward Cooper:
After an illness lasting some weeks there passed away in Warwick on October 18 a well known and highly respected resident of the Pratten district in the person of Mrs Edward Cooper, snr., at the age of 75 years.
Mrs. Cooper was born in Dublin, Ireland and came to Australia in the year 1862 with her parents, the late Mr. And Mrs. John Murray. Other passengers on board the Black Ball liner, Prince Consort, on which they travelled out, were the late Mr. Thomas Brennan of warwick, and the late Mr. P.J. McDermott. After landing at Moreton Bay, Mr and Mrs Murray came to Warwick district and settled at Mt Thabor on the late Dr Cani's property for a time and then selected land at what is now known as Murray's Bridge, where Mr and Mrs Murray resided up until the time of their death.
At an early age Miss Murray married Mr Charles McMonagle and resided with him in the same district till his demise a few years later. Some years after the death of her first husband, she married Mr Edward Cooper, of Lord John Swamp. When North Toolburra was opened for selection, they selected portion of it and in that district they carried on farming successfully. Mrs. Cooper gained many friends for her hospitality and kindness to others.
Besides her huband she leaves four sons, one from her first marriage, John McMonagle of Rosenthal, Warwick, and Edward (Bony Mountain), Kevin (Ellinthorpe), and Austin (Yelarbon) and four daughters, Mrs Robin (Ellnthorpe), Mrs Sherry (Brisbane), Mrs McCulloch (Tamworth) and Mrs Seymour (Wheatvale). Two sons predeceased her - William McMonagle, late of Massie and Thomas Cooper (Bony Mountain)
Some other notes on Anne.
Anne was listed as being 3 when she arrived in Brisbane on 2 Nov 1862 with her parents and brother Christopher 5. She married her first husband when only 16 - he was 25. She married on 10.8.1875. Charles McMonagle died in 1880 of rheumatic fever. She met her second husband whilst he was building a bridge over the Condamine River. Anne provided farm produce for the men building the bridge. She also transported produce - pigs, fowls, eggs, butter etc. to the tin mines in her dray.
She married Edward Cooper on 5.8.1883 at St Mary's Church, Warwick. They resided at Murray's Bridge for a time. In 1892 Edward and Anne bought land on the Hendon Road at what was known as Fredericksvale, part of the North Toolburra Station. Their house was built of slab and shingle. The cooking was done outside in a leanto with an open fire. The walls of the hut were lined with newspaper, and were repapered afresh each Christmas.
Later when North Toolburra land was thrown open, a further block was acquired, closer to Pratten and near the Condamine River. A lovely house was built there, with verandahs all around and a detached kitchen - very large. The marker peg was "6V" and the property was also known by this name. Further grass country was acquired when Bradfields, close neighbours and friends across the road sold out. This area was always known as "Braddy's".
Anne was a great cook and ll her grandchildren remember her biscuits - they said there never will be a biscuit to taste like them! She had a 1lb. Butter mould with a cow under a tree on the wooden lid. This was her mark when she sold her butter. She was a very astute business woman - fair but firm.
The story is told that when her son Austin was born - probably in Allora, but his birth certificate doesn't say , as it was not filed until two year later - Anne had no way of letting her husband Edward know she was coming home. So she went to Hendon by train, borrowed a horse from the Station Master, and rode home with the baby on the pommel. When she got to The Frontage, she put the baby on the strainer post of the fence, got off the horse and went through the gate, remounted the horse and rode home.
Another story is when Monsignor Potter was around the Pratten district collecting for the new St Mary's building, he called in on Edward. Anne was in Warwick in the sulky. "The Boss" entertained the Mons. And gave him a cheque for 100 pounds - the bullocks were a good price that year. Anne met the Mons. on the road from Cunningham. He explained his mission and said he'd had a cup of tea with "The Boss". Unknowingly, Anne gave him a cheque for 100 pounds. She got home and related the incident, then discovered "The Boss's" donation. At daylight the next morning she got up, put the horse on the sulky and went to Warwick and cancelled both cheques. We understand the Mons. eventually did get the 100 pounds.
