Details: Obituary Ninety-two years of life, devoted almost entirely to pastoral and agricultural pursuits, came to a close with thedeath of Mr. Henry Cory, of Vermont, on Monday. A real Australian, his whole career was moulded on his love for and faith in the land of his birth. He was born near Maitland in 1844, Where his parents had been early settlers of a grazing block along the Paterson. He spent his boyhood days at home, but at the age of 16 developed an urge to travel, and the same year left with a droving plant to seek his fortune farther north. Queensland attracted, him, and he secured employment with the late Mr. P. F. McDonnell, of Fernleas, near Rockhampton. A true son of the land, the experience he gained there and on other stations fitted him for the pioneer work he was yet to undertake. In the late 60s he selected the original Tokal grazing block, about 70 miles south of Longreach, and then began the long task of converting over a thousand square miles of virgin country into a profitable cattle run. The venture was a success. After forming a partnership over the holding with his brother, the late Mr. G. G. Cory, of Toowoomba, and a Mr. Taylor, also of Toowoomba, Mr. Cory purchased a farming area near Warwick which he named Vermont. In 1890 he abandoned station life to become a farmer. Tokal was disposed of in 1902 to. Messrs. J. and W. Rhoades. His wife, who predeceased him about 20. months ago, was formerly Miss Mary Ann Bell. Like her husband she was a true product of the bush, born at Pickering, near Scone, the daughter of a grazier. She also came of a roving family, and it was while at Tambo, where she was staying with a brother who had a property there, that she met her future husband. Some sixty years ago they were married in Sydney. They had a family of five, three of whom, two sons and a daughter, survive them. The daughter is Mrs. M. A, Pollard, of Blackall, and the sons Mr. W. M. Cory, of Glen Lee, Bogan tungan, Central Queensland, and Mr. Roy Cory, of Vermont. One son, Gilbert, died as a child, and the other, Henry, was in an Australian artillery battalion in camp at Salisbury Plain when he became a victim of the influenza epidemic that raged over England during the war years. A sister of Mr. Cory. Mrs Reynolds, resides in Sydney
