Death Of “Granny" Clunn

Samarai, Dec. 2.

MRS. E. CLUNN died on December 1, aged 77.

She came to Papua 40 years ago, and became one of the best known and most highly respected women in the Terri tory. Miners and traders calling at Sa marai, coasting skippers, and homesick young clerks and store hands, all made a point of going to see “Granny Clunn”; and all were sure of a welcome—and of a frank encouragement or straight spoken rebuke, according to their des erts.

Practical, capable, generously hospit able, and deeply understanding of hu man difficulties and human frailties, Mrs. Clunn was almost the last repres entative of the fine type of pioneer wo men.
