    3. June 14, 1918 Death at Morea Mrs H.C. STEHN Both our Goroke and Minimay correspondents send us details of the death of Mrs H.C.STEHN, senior, of Morea, and they voice the general regret felt locally at the passing away of such an old and highly respected resident. Mrs STEHN was of a homely disposition, and that she enjoyed the esteem of a large circle of friends was evidenced by the many mourners who formed the cortege which followed her remains to the Goroke cemetery on Tuesday. Mrs STEHN, who had reached the advanced age of 76, arrived in Australia 50 years ago, first settling with her husband at Point McLeay South Australia, where they were engaged in farming pursuits for a number of years, removing from there to Tooan East, finally settling at Morea, where they took up land and farmed it until they were called to the Great Beyond, where there is no toil and all is peace. Mrs STEHN had a family of ten---Mrs HERMANN (Patyah), John (deceased), Carl (Morea), Heinrich (Morea), and Ernest (on active service with the A.I.F.), Mesdames W. ROBINSON (deceased), Mrs J. ROBINSON (Booroopki), and R. ROBINSON (Booroopki), and Misses Annie and Louise STEHN (Morea). Mr STEHN's died about three years ago. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/
