Mr. I.E. Peyton
Mr. Ivor Eliot Peyton, who accidentaly met his death in England recently, was well known in the Charleville--Auguthella district of Queensland. He was a son of the late Colonel John Peton of the 7th Dragoon Guards, and at the age of 18 settled in Australia with his eldest brother, Guy, where he acquired an interest in the Oakwood station and Chatham grazing selection near Charleville. He returned to England in 1912.

Peyton of Oakwood
More than 40 years ago two young Englishmen, Guy and Ivor Peyton, came to Queensland and became part owners of Oakwood stationin the Charleville district. Later they acquired considerable property in Brisbane, which is still held by the family.
They returned to England some years ago, Ivor becoming a member of the staff of his brother, General Sir William Peyton, in Gallipoli, afterwards commanding a labour battalion in France. After the war he bought Englemere Wood at Ascot, in Berkshire, taking a prominent part in the local affairs of his district.
This week I had information that Ivor, then 74 years of age, had been accidentally killed by falling from a railway bridge. A detailed report in an English newspaper says that he was taking his dogs for a walk and fell from the bridge in a fit of giddiness.
Many old RESIdents of the Charleville district will remember the kindly owners of Oakwood.
