THE sad death occurred during the week-end of Mrs Stahl, wife of Mr J. H. Stahl, deputy-mayor of Gulgong. Deceased was a very popular lady and a splendid worker for all charitable movements. Her sudden demise in the prime of life as the result of pneumonia, cast quite a gloom over the old mining town. The funeral yesterday was one of the largest ever seen in Gulgong.
