MR. E. R, ISAACS.
A returned soldier from two wars, having seen service in South Africa with the Mounted Rifles in the Boer War, and having served in France with the 1st A.I.F. in the 1st World War, Mr. Edmund Rogers Isaacs, a resident of Monaltrie, died in Ljsmore on Monday afternoon. Although his death came unexpectedly, he had been in failing health for some time. Mr. Isaacs was born at Condong, on the Tweed River. His father, the late William Rogers
Isaacs, as manager, opened the Condong Sugar Mill. He came from Chatsworth Island for that purpose. Mr. Isaacs lived his early life in the Tweed River district and became prominent in sporting circles. Football, cricket and surfing are sports in which he engaged with success. After serving in the Boer War he returned to Condong, but was residing in Sydney when the 1st World War started, and from where he enlisted. After his discharge Mr. Isaacs settled at Tamworth, where he resided for a number of years, moving later to Glen Innes, where he was in business for some years until about four years ago he settled at Monaltrie. Mr. Isaacs married Miss Madeleine Graves, who survives him. In addition, there is a son, Mr. Edmund Isaacs, of the C.S.R. Co., Victoria Mill, Ingham, Queensland, and Miss Madeleine Isaacs, of the staff of Campbell Hospital, Coraki. Brothers are Messrs. W. R. Isaacs (Coorparoo, Brisbane), A. R. Isaacs (Balgowlah), A. W. Isaacs. (Southport) and R. M. Isaacs (Darling Point). His funeral will leave the home at Monaltrie today after a service commencing at 2.30 p.m., for the private cemetery at Monaltrie.
