He (Joseph) came downunder on a tour as a marching band leader and was so impressed that upon his return to Europe, he packed up and moved to Maryborough for good. Being a tailor, he invested most of his savings in suiting frabics before he departed. Unfortunately, being unfamiliar with our climate and wildlife, he lost almost all of his stock to insects within 6 months of having arrived. (source: Mark Zemek, Brisbane)
