Biographies

DAWSON, ANDREW (ANDERSON) (1863-1910), miner, editor and politician, was born on 16 July 1863 at Rockhampton, Queensland, son of Anderson Dawson, mariner, and his wife Jane, née Smith. He adopted his father's name 'Anderson' before he entered politics. Shortly after his birth, Dawson's parents died and he was placed in a Brisbane orphanage until he was 9. He was then taken by an uncle to Gympie where he attended school until he was 12. He worked at Charters Towers at various occupations including newspaper-running, bullock-driving and mining, becoming head amalgamator of one of the principal gold batteries when only 19. In 1886 he went to the Kimberleys in Western Australia, but failure brought him back to Charters Towers where, on 21 December 1887 according to Presbyterian forms, he married a widow, Caroline Ryan, née Quin.
