Henry Youngman (minister)

[4][5] As a boy, he immigrated with his parents to Goulburn, New South Wales, where they worshipped at the Wesleyan Church.

[1][5] When Youngman came to Brisbane in 1888 he saw the desirability of a Conference to bring together the different denominations of Methodism, and he lost no chance of urging for this.

[1] In 1913 the Victoria University of Toronto conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity on Youngman in recognition of his eminent gifts and conspicuous service to Methodism in Queensland.

[11] Youngman died at his residence in Dean Street, Toowong, Brisbane, early on Friday 11 March 1927 following several months of illness.

[2] It was unveiled by John Gladwell Wheen, the President-General of the Methodist Church of Australasia on Thursday 1 March 1928.

[12][13][14] His headstone in Toowong Cemetery was removed by the Brisbane City Council in the mid-1970s as part of a program to clean up "unsightly/demolished graves".
