Edward Robert Drury

William James Joseph Drury (chaplain to the British Embassy in Brussels and tutor of Leopold II of Belgium) and his wife Anne (née Nicholas).

[2] Edward Robert Drury died at his holiday home Saltwood at Shorncliffe on 3 February 1896 aged 63 years following an illness of 10 days.

The streets were lined with spectators; indeed, the police had difficult keeping order at the railway station due to the extent of public interest.

The military procession then slow-marched from the railway station through the streets of the Brisbane CBD to the Toowong Cemetery where he was interred.

[7] The family home "Hawstead" he built in 1876, originally perched on the edge of the Brisbane River in New Farm, Bowen Terrace.

According to Brisbane City Council, this home was cut in half and removed from its original dwelling place in 1969 to make way for high rise apartments.

It stands proud today as a family home, cared for with many of its original features remaining intact.
