MR. P. McF. COLQUHOUN. After several years of intimate association with business and friendly society work in Launceston, Mr. Parlane McFarlane Colquhoun passed away at his residence, 21 Brisbane-street, on Saturday at the age of 60 years. He was a native of Ararat, and for many years was engaged in the ironmongering business of Messrs. Law and Oldfield, at Hawthorn (Vic.). He came to Tasmania in 1895, and entered the employ of Messrs. J. and T. Gunn, on behalf of whom he subsequently took charge of Walbridge's paint and paper shop in Charles-street. While there he assumed the agency for Rover bicycles. Later the deceased left the employ of his firm, and began business on his own account in Brisbane-street, and manunufactured the Esk bicycles. At this period he was vice-captain of the City Cycling Club. Ultimately he sold out to Mr. Sim. King. The late Mr. Colquhoun was then elected grand secretary of the I.O.O.F., and held the position for a number of years...
