Of Papua

ANOTHER old-time resident of Papua has died in exile. He is Mr. Emil Noller, whose death, at the age of 72, occurred in Brisbane on July 13.

His funeral at Toowong cemetery was attended by a representative gathering of residents of the Territory.

Emil Noller went to Port Moresby about 1906 as Government plumber, but soon after his arrival he left the service to set up in business for himself. He was one of the last to be evacuated in 1942 and while on his way out to catch a Catalina for “South” was chased back by a Jap plane.

He is survived by two daughters, one living in Sydney whose husband is believed to have been taken prisoner in Rabaul; and Mrs. Elsie Lampo, wife of Lieut. H. Lampo, of an Australian Intel ligence unit in the north.
