14/8/1858: Moreton Bay Courier: This article was inserted by his wife Catherine Dobikin, Bremer River, near Ipswich 11/8/1858 - There had been a report that John was intoxicated at the time of his accident and Catherine wrote to say that this was not so and John had been on a dray, along with his daughter and son-in-law, and his other 12 year old daughter.
He had gone to pick up some goods and to deliver them to a neighbour, Mr Duke of Sandy Creek. Upon leaving Mr Duke’s at a distance of about 600 yards, the horse missed it’s footing and the dray tipped over, throwing John and his 12 year old daughter into a waterhole.

John Dobikin struck his head on the side of the wheel and fractured his skull, dying instantly. His daughter was unscathed.

Catherine died at Emmaville in 1891.
