See Map I for the location of Brisbane.  This community no longer exists. 

     Situated in the northeast corner of Parker Township, midway between Bodcaw and
 Willisville, lies what was formerly known as Brisbane post office.  The post office was abolished
 this spring after the establishment of rural route # 2 out of Rosston, but for eighteen years it
 served the people in that community.  Established in 1888 by B. G. Murrah, who later became
 and is still a citizen of Prescott.  Mr. Murrah in those days operated a country store, carried a
 splendid stock of goods, and did a good business.  He was succeeded as postmaster and
 storekeeper by his son-in-law, P. H. Herring who has since engaged in business at Bodcaw.  The
 store at present is operated by Clint Martin, a most enterprising young gentleman whose
 hospitable home is always a welcome stop for the way-farer.

     Brisbane is and always has been a splendid community.  It was the former home of W. R.
 Basden, no better man who ever lived in Nevada County.  Capt. Basden is now living in Texas,
 but the old homestead still stands and is now owned and occupied by Bob Martin.  Another
 prominent old settler who has since moved away is Sam Bailey, now living in Texas.  His
 Brisbane homestead is occupied by John Butler, one of the most prosperous farmers in the
 community. 

     Prominent citizens still living here are the Finchers, J. M. Parrish, the Bennetts, A.
 Manning, the McKissacks, Tom May, M. M. Murrah, the Martins, and others.  Brisbane is
 surrounded by a moral atmosphere that gives her citizens pure and honest lives.  Nothing bad has
 ever come out of Brisbane.  Its religious advantages are excellent.  On the west is Union Church
 with sacred memories of past meetings when souls were brought to Christ, and on the east is Mt.
 Zion, a church which has lent and is still lending its silent influence for good.  To the southeast is
 far-famed Holly Springs, a Methodist Episcopal church and one of the most popular places of
 worship in the county. 

     Educational advantages are excellent with splendid schools taught each year at Brisbane,
 Mt. Zion, Holly Springs, and Union.  

     The land around Brisbane produces well and the people are prosperous, happy, and
 contented in the full enjoyment of life.
