Death Of C. L. B. Wilde

THE death has occurred in Sydney of Carl Leopold Bruno Wilde at the age of 73. For several years he had been suffering from a heart com plaint. He was noted for several New Guinea enterprising particulars for his coffee plantation at Wau, where the best beans in the Territory were (and are) grown.

Nearly 40 years ago he was plantation manager for Hernsheim & Co. on Makada in the Duke of Yorks and there met Juanita Stehr, whom he married and the two pioneered the Squally Island property, know later as Emira. After her death Wilde became interested in the goldfields and at one time was in partnership with Harry Darby.

He leaves five daughters to mourn his passing; two of them —Mrs. Shanahan and Mrs. Mayfield—are in New Guinea.
