The late Mr. Stanger migrated with his wife and six children from York shire, England, in 1908 and his first job in the Charters Towers district was with the Charters Towers City Council as woodcutter and stacker for the waterworks. After many years service with the City Council he re signed his position and became a labourer for the Dalrymple Shire Council with the road gangs, subs sequently rising to the position of fore man in which capacity he served that Council until he entered hospital several months ago. He leaves a widow, six sons, four daughters and eleven grandchildren.
