Marcus Boge köpte en sockerplantage i Owanyilla, känd som Aurora plantation. Sockerodlare längs Mary River, vid den tiden, brukade krossa sitt egen sockerrör och skicka juicen till raffinaderiet i Yengarie.

Harry var en mångsidig läderarbetare.
På den tiden var cricketbollar inte lika vanliga som nu, och när omslagen hade slagits från dem skickades de till Harry Gehrmann för att täckas om. Harry hade en egen design för omtäckning, men i form av utrymme utesluter en beskrivning av den designen vid denna tidpunkt, Dessa rekonditionerade cricketbollar gjorde fantastiska övningsbollar för en slagman var tvungen att titta på dem hela vägen - dessa cricketbollar kunde göra saker.


MEMORIES OF A PIONEER
(Bv Jos. Gehrmann)
He was not a pioneer in the sense that he blazed tracks through the bush, but he made many boots and shoes that were worn by pioneers , and their wives and daughters. . Harry Gehrmann was about six years of age when his parents arrived in Queensland from across the "big pond" from Germany.
What education Harry got came from the old primary school, at the corner of Alice and Lennox-streets. The school building later became an immigration depot, and the Naval Brigade had a drill hall on the same site. Harry served his apprenticeship as bootmaker under his uncle, the late Mr. Marcus Boge, who, in partnership with Mr. David Gardiner, carried on their business in the two-storied shop in Ellena-street, opposite Mr.Hughie Shaw's black smiths shop.

At that time, Friday afternoon closing obtained, and the shops were open on Saturdays until 9 p.m., and Harry was called upon to deliver parcels on Saturday nights on which messages often accompanied him. 1 often had the wind up about the blacks when we were called upon to go to the far side o£ Newtown.

By the way, people at that time used to refer to "over the creek." By "over the creek" was meant the gully along which trains now go to the wharves though the gully at that time was more like a creek than now. And people used to refer to "Irish,-town"- this because there were a goodly number of Irish people who lived close to each other in a part of "over the creek" or Newtown.

I wish to refer here to the late Mr. Boge, who was a born gentleman, and a popular man in the Masonic Order. He married into a pioneering family, the Bundesens, of Netherby, and Mrs. Boge, as I remember her, was a real lady, always glad to give assistance where needed. Mr. Boge's business partner, Mr. Gardiner, had been, I think, actively connected with the School Of Arts.

However, in the course of time, the firm of Boge and Gadiner dissolved partnership by mutual agreement, and Mr. Gardiner went to New Zealand. Mr. Boge bought a sugar plantation at Owanyilla, known as Aurora plantation. He soon struck trouble here, for he maintained that sugar could be grown with white labour.

Sugar growers along the Mary River, at that time, used to crush their own cane, and send, the juice to the refinery at Yengarie in punts. And Mr. Boge was advised that if he did away with his Kanaka labour, the refinery would not take his juice, so Mr. Boge had no option.

Harry was a versatile leather worker. In those days, cricket balls were not as plentiful as now, and when the covers had been knocked from them, they were sent to Harry Gehrmann to be re-covered. Harry had a design of his own for re-covering, but want of space precludes a description of that design at this juncture, These reconditioned cricket balls made splendid practice balls for a batsman had to watch them all the way- those cricket balls could do things.
I will continue the story of this pioneer's early career in a later issue of your journal.

Aurora Plantation
1883
Marcus Boge bought 81 hectares fronting hte Mary near Etchell's Falls from WG Bailey.
He felled the scrub and in a short time had cane growing.
He bought a mill in May 1883. Miss Boge ceremonially started the engine.

1884
Boge sold to Richard Henry Maund Hall.
Hall was a pioneer in many areas and was one of the first farmers to irrigate out of the Mary. He also converted megass to manure by feeding the cattle on it nightly.
He employed 2 Europeans and 14 Islanders plus an extra 10 hands in the crushing when he handled neighbours cane as well.
1886, 21st April
The Aurora Plantation is being successfully irrigated by pumping from the Mary River, The results so far are exceedingly satisfactory.
1890
Aurora lost much of its cane in the flood and the nearby Pioneers Rest school was carried 400m down river and turned upside down by flood waters.
The mill escaped damage and was turned into a temporary school.
1893
Plans were revealed for expansion after the mill had survived the flood.

Bio:
We regret to record the death of our old townsman, Mr. Marcus Boge, who, until shortly before his death and for some years past had been lessee of the Club Hotel, but at the time of his death he was completing arrangements to open a boot store at Taabinga, in the Nanango district, wither his wife and most of the members of his family had gone. Though he had not been in good health lately, his death was very sudden and unexpected.
Mr. Marcus Boge was born in Schleswig-Holstein in 1851, and he came out to Maryborough as a young man, and his early life was devoted to farming and sugar growing on the Mary river. He afterwards started business in town in the boot trade which he conducted for many years, singly or in partnership with others. Up to within the last ten years, Mr. Boge had taken an active interest in local affairs, and was an alderman for several years. He leaves a wife and large family to mourn his loss.
The deceased was a brother of Messrs. Hans and Joachim Boge of this town. The funeral takes place this afternoon.

Anthilde Marie Christine Boges död, änka efter den avlidne Marcus Boge, ägde rum i Bundaberg i torsdags förra året. Detta bröt en annan koppling till den tidiga Kingaroys historia, för hon hade bott i byn Taabinga i 37 år. Hon hade varit i sviktande hälsa i några månader och strax före sin död hade hon bott hos sin dotter i Bundaberg.
Boge föddes i Schleswig-Holstein 1856 och kom till Australien med sina föräldrar 1873, familjen som landade i Marborough.
Hon gifte sig med Marcus Boge, som ägnade sig åt sockerplantering vid Catchell's Falls vid Mary River. Senare köpte de en gård och uppförde en kvarn på Aurora Plantation och hjälpte också till att etablera Tiaro sågverk.
Boge var under många år en framstående medborgare i Maryborough, och hade många framträdande positioner och i alla sina åtaganden hade han hjälp och uppmuntran av sin fru. Han startade också en boot-making verksamhet där han var mycket framgångsrik.
Det erinras om att Boge hade utmärkelsen av den första båten byggd av Walkers Limited i Maryborough.
För ungefär 37 år sedan kom de till detta distrikt och valde mark vid Taabinga Village, där mrs Boge hade bott sedan dess.
Boge dog i Maryborough för 35 år sen.
Den avlidna damen var vänligt och gästvänlig och älskvärd och beskände sig till alla genom sin välgörenhet till andra. Hon var en ivrig medlem av Engelska kyrkan, och det var först nyligen som dålig hörsel hindrade henne från att delta aktivt i tjänsterna. Begravningen ägde rum i Bundaberg i lördags.
