Charles James Gataker
Charles James m. Ruby Porter of Maryborough. She was a rather 'superior' lady. Jim was also in Gataker & Sons, he was the traveller/salesman of the firm of Wine and Spirits, and unfortunately tasted samples rather too often. This and other factors no doubt was the reason of business troubles resulting in a case of bankruptcy. Son Charles was in the A.I.F. and died on the Kokoda Trail in World War II against the Japanese and he is buried in a War Cemetery in Port Moresby. Helen, their daughter, married and died in early days of pregnancy with meningitis
