The second small booklet that the Watsonville folk published for this year's annual Pioneer Women's Day event is another great addition to their collection and is worth the effort to obtain. Entitled 'The Story of Minnie Kemp nee Roos' it was also compiled by Watsonville historian, Jane Chapman. This little book tells the tale of a local lady who was left with seven young children to rear on her own after the death of her husband in 1928 and how she soldiered-on during those hard old days. The booklet includes a number of short memories of life with Minnie which was shared by her descendants. Another great addition to anyone's collection of short stories of life in early North Queensland produced by the Western Progress Association.
