MR. LES. STANTON.
On Thursday last the sad news was received of the death in Brisbane of Mr. Leslie Ralph Stanton, son of Mrs. and the late T. Stanton, of Cradoc. For some time after he returned from the war Mr Les. Stanton suffered rather severely from pneumonia, contracted in the trenches but he appeared to rally. About 18 months ago he was married and settled on an orchard property at Ranelagh. He was an experienced orchard hand and was getting his holding and home into splendid order when another attack of his old illness over took him. Acting under medical advice he went to Brisbane a few weeks ago in the hope that the dry climate of that city would hasten his recovery, but on reaching there it was necessary for him to go into hospital. An operation was performed early last week, and his brother, Mr. A. W. Stanton, received a telegram on Wednesday to say that the operation had been a success and that the patient would soon be home again. Next evening, however, another message, came to hand stating that a sudden change in his condition had resulted in Mr. Les. Stanton's death Deceased was well known in Cradoc and Franklin, where he lived until going to the war. He was a popular young fellow with a large circle of friends who will deeply regret his untimely end. He was 30 years of age and leaves a young widow and
infant to mourn their loss.
