About Frederick William Cuthbert

Lived 1855 – 1948 (aged 92–93).

Frederick William Cuthbert (died 5 October 1948) was a grocer and miner in Croydon, Queensland, Australia. He was known as the "Gold King of the North".

Having sold his interests, eight years later Cuthbert met a friend on a Brisbane racecourse and was persuaded to invest in a mine at Misima Island in New Guinea. This was another success, and he sold out 8 years later for £75,000. He was cremated at the Mount Thompson crematorium on 27 October.
