• Golden Wedding: 12 Jan 1929, Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser, Queensland; GOLDEN WEDDING KUNST-PETERSEN On Saturday, January 5, Mr. & Mrs. J. F. Kunst of Miva, celebrated the 50th. anniversary of their wedding, which took place at Esgrus-Berisk-Schleswig, Germany. In the early hours of the morning relatives of the couple began to arrive, and when the gathering sat down to the wedding breakfast at 1 p.m., there were 40 guests present. The tables were tastefully arranged, the cheif centre of attraction being a handsome three-tier wedding cake, mounted with gold trimmings. The cake was the handiwork of Mrs. Arthur Kunst. During the breakfast the following toast list was honoured;-"The King," proposed by the chairman, (Mr. W. H. Sauer); "Bride and Bridegroom," proposed by Mr. W. H. Sauer, supported by Mr. Andy Hoffman, and responded to by Mr. J. F. Kunst: " The Family," proposed by Mr. W. Sauer, and responded to by Mr. August Kunst; "The Brothers," proposed by M. E. Kunst ans responded to by Mr. C. H. Kunst; "The Helpers," proposed by Mr. Hans Kunst, and replied to on behalf of ladies by Mr. O. J. Kunst; "The Chairman,' proposed by Mr.J. F. Kunst and responded to by Mr. Sauer. Special mention was made during the evening to the untiring work of Miss Crouch as waitress. After the breakfast the guests went into the garden, where Mr.-Rasmussen of Deborah, took several photographs of the family and descendants, which include nine sons, one daughter, 26 grand-children, and two great-grand-children. during the afternoon the younger generation played games and generally enjoyed themselves. At night the gathering was augmented by a small suprise party. Those late arrivals, and a number of the guests adjourned to the barn, where old-time dancing was indulged in, whilst card games were by the older folk till midnight, when once again all were invited to the tables for supper. After supper, dancing was continued, and dawn had broken when the party had joined in the singing of "Auld Lang Sine" before dispersing. During the day and night, Mr. and Mrs. Kunst were the recipients of congratulatory messages, and everyone expressed a hope that they would all be able to meet at "Spring Hill" in 10 years time to once more honour this popular and obliging couple. Mr. and Mrs. Kunst are spending their "Golden Honeymoon" at Pialba. It is 43 years on January 12 since Mr. and Mrs. Kunst arrived in Queensland, with a family of four sons. Prior to his marriage Mr. Kunst served three years in the German Army, and after his marriage worked as a bricklayer and carpenter for the princely sum of 15/ a week and keep.Aome three years before this three of Mr. Kunst's brothers (all well-known and highly respected residents) came to Queensland, and they induced their brother Fritz to follow them. This step he has had no cause to regret. About 30 years ago he selected his present property, and after the usual trials of the pioneer, and with the aid of his loyal wife and family, he built up his present home, an achievement of which any man may be proud. Mr. Kunst considers that one of the best tasks he performed was his success in inducing the council to build what is known as Johnson's bridge-a benifet known only to well to local settlers today. About three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Kunst decided to take their well-earned rest and handed over the management of the farm to their two sons, O. J. and Asmus Kunst.

• Obituary: 12 May 1934, Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser, Queensland; OBITUARY MR. J. F. KUNST The death of Mr. Jes Frederich Kunst at his residence, Miva, on May 1 removed one of the old residents and a familiar figure of the district. The late Mr. Kunst was born at Schlezwig Holstein, Germany, on March 15, 1852, and so had attained the age of years. In 1885, on the advice of his brothers already domiciled in Queenland, Mr. Kunst with his young wife and four children decided to migrate to Queensland and arrived at Brisbane on January 12, 1886, in the ship, Duke of Westminster. He came to one of his brothers at Greenwood, staying there for two years. Being of an adapt able nature he soon learned the ways of his adopted country. He then went to his brother Henry's place on the lower Munna, and after a period of nine years decided to launch out on his own on a farm at Deborah. Whilst here Mr. Kunst struck one of those bad periods that so to make up the average life. He lost practically all his savings by fire, and nearly all his stock by disease, and his two valuable farm horses were shot-a blow which made even his stout heart quail. Undauntcd, Mr. Kunst then selected the piece of land on which he was destined to end his days. Arriving here on May 5, 1900, he again set to work to build a home for his wife and family under conditions which at that time were anything but bright. Here success crowned his work and the homestead and surroundings stand testimony today to the efforts of himself, wife and family. The late Mr. Kunst was of a retiring disposition and ever ready to lend a helping hand for the advancement of the district. He is survived by a sorrowing wife, eight sons and one daughter, one son having predeceased him 39 years ago. The funeral which left the residence of Mr. W. H. Sauer for the Miva (Munna Creek) Cemetery, was attended, the cortege comprising 37 cars and one sulky, whilst a number of people, unable to cross Miva Crossing by car, were waiting at the graveside. There was a big array of floral tributes. The Rev. Jones, Tiaro, officiated at the graveside and the funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. Jack Cornes, Gympie Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser, Queensland, Saturday, 12 May 1934

• Personal: 3 Feb 1916, Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser, Queensland; THE ALIEN PARENTAGE PROBLEM. (To the Editor). Sir,-In a letter from "Your Own Theebine Correspondent" in last Thursday's "Chronicle," I saw that Mr. R. Hoffman had tried to enlist, but was rejected on account of his German parentage. Now, sir, there is something very wrong about our recruiting. Two of my sons have enlisted; one of them had, four months in the trenches on Gallipoli Peninsula, and the other has been in camp at Enoggera for three months, and yet R. Hoffman's mother is my sister. His father was certainly born in Germany, but he arrived in Maryborough in the year 1871, and became a British subject shortly after wards by naturalization, and I have heard him declare that he was reared under the iron heel of Germany. He knows what it is; he has no desire to go, back, nor to see Australia come under Germany. When he got naturalized he ceased to be a German, and became a loyal British subject. About a fortnight ago I received a letter from my sister telling me that their son Rudolph had been home to ask his parents' consent to enlist, and that they could only say yes. He wanted the address of my son at Enoggera so that when he got down there he could look up his cousin. I felt proud of my young nephew then, and I am sorry for him now. I know there are Germans here who are not loyal; for such I have no time. If I had my way I would make them pack up their swag and send them back to Germany. They have no business here. Now, sir, I think it is quite easy to find out who are loyal and who are not. If the local police and Shire Councils were consulted I am sure they would know, and if such young men as Rudolph Hoffman and his brother Andrew were allowed to go to the front, I am certain their behaviour would be such that we would have reason to be just as proud of them as we are of our boys who went to Gallipoli. Hoping you will find room for this in your columns, and thanking you in anticipation.-I am, etc,. ANDREW THOMPSON. Deborah, 31st January, 1916.

• Obituary: 17 Oct 1914, Maryborough Chronicle, Wide Bay and Burnett Advertiser, Queensland; THE LATE MR ANDREAS THOMSEN The death of Mr Andreas Thomsen, which occurred at Tiaro on 22nd September last has removed an old and highly esteemed resident of the district. He was born in Denmark on 1st December 1823. His father died a couple of years later, and the lad's early education was of the most meagre kind. As he grew older he showed a keen desire to improve his knowledge, and all his spare moments were spent in study. At an early age he joined the military, and after spending some years in the strenuous life of a soldier, he undertook such contracts as fort building and other Government works. He was twice married; his first wife, by whom there was issue three sons and two daughters, predeceased him 49 years ago. His second wife survives him. In 1871 he sent his daughters and his eldest son to Australia, and three years later, he, with his wife and two other sons, followed. Landing in Maryborough, he spent twelve months in the vicinity of Pialba. He then settled on the Mary River, near Gundiah, where he undertook general farming, dairying, etc. In 1883 he moved to Tiaro, where he has resided ever since, being engaged in agricultural pursuits. About two years ago he met with a painful accident, sustaining a fracture of the leg, from which he never fully recovered. By his death, the district loses an honest, hardworking resident; and his family a devoted husband and father. Besides his wife, who resides in Tiaro, he leaves two daughters, Mrs Mikklesen (Maryborough), and Mrs Hoffman (Theebine), and three sons, Andrew (Deborah), Peter (North Queensland), and Sophus (Brooweena), besides thirty-one grandchildren and forty-five great-grandchildren.

ANDREAS THOMSEN'S REMEMBRANCE CARD

My Beloved Husband
ANDREAS THOMSEN
Died September 22, 1914, Aged 90 Years

One of the best the Lord could send
Beloved by all - a faithful friend -
Called home from those who deeply love,
To gain a glorious life above.
With aching hearts, with tearful eyes,
We linger where our dear one lies,
And breathe those sacred words once more,
Not lost but only gone before.
DEEPLY MOURNED
