John Henry Hargreaves (1839 - 19 January 1907) was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
Hargreaves was born in Gravesend, Kent, the son of John Henry Hargreaves Snr. and his wife Charlotte (née Furner). He arrived in Queensland for a goldfields expedition and then established a timber and building business in Cooktown around 1878.
On 26 April 1875 he married Mahala Gee[1] (died 1905)[2] in Townsville and together had four sons and three daughters.[1] He drowned on the government-owned ketch, the Pilot, which went missing during the 1907 Cooktown cyclone.[3] His body was not recovered but a memorial to him is at the Cooktown Cemetery.[4]
At the 1904 Queensland state election, Hargreaves won the seat of Cook for the Ministerialists, defeating the Labour candidate, Mr Le Vaux by two votes.[5] As it was only four months before the 1907 Queensland state election when he died, no by-election was held.
Hargreaves had previously been a councilor on the Shire of Cook and was its Mayor from 1901 until 1904.[1]
