SUDDEN DEATH.Died suddenly yesterday at Meri-hula, Mr. J. Stoltenberg, a well-knownidentity and highly respected personality. A native of Denmark, he hadlived hereabouts for very many years,and indeed might be well regarded asa district pioneer. When he arrivedot Narrabri he decided to settle onthe land and acquired an area of landadjoining Killarney station, whichmost people regarded as a sandywaste. This area, by dint of hardwork and farming skill, he transformed into an oasis in the shape of avineyard and orchard. His homewas noted for its hospitality andwas a rendezvous for young peopleto congregate. He reared a largo fam-ily on this propertv, who still survivehim, including his wife. He was apast-master in the art of wine-makingand for years conducted a depot inthe town.
