GEDCOM Note

(Research):During these proceedings, Captain Armstrong had departed the Island and, incredibly, the Island community did not get another resident administrator until 1940 - some 58 years later! In the years following Armstrong's departure, Island affairs were supervised by a series of visiting magistrates including Henry Wilkinson, Mr Icely, J. Brodie and Frank Farnell. These men usually visited the Island annually unless there was some particularly urgent matter that required their attention, in which case they came as required. In 1890, Government House was built to house visiting magistrates like Frank Farnell. Among Farnell's achievements was the reopening of the Island school in 1902, and repeated efforts to help the Islanders with the palmseed industry, culminating in the formation of a collecting and marketing cooperative in 1906.
