Summary

Description
English: Possibly the most famous person buried at Gladstone cemetery is

James Henry Ashton, the founder of Ashton’s Circus. The old veteran died at the Metropolitan Hotel, Gladstone, on January 17 1889, while on tour. Tributes spread through many newspapers and publications. He had travelled the Australian colonies for at least 40 years. The circus was handed down from generation to generation and the 7th generations of Ashton's are still performing Circus & Cabaret shows to this day. Through drought, depression, floods, war, the GFC, & the COVID19 pandemic, the show must go on.

Ref to the passing of James Ashton can be found here, Rockhampton Morning Bulletin, 19 jan 1889. The Queenslander, 26 jan 1889. The Sydney Bulletin, 9 feb 1889.
