OBITUARY
MR. C. J. STEPHENSEN
The death occurred at Hobart recently of Christian Julius (Christy) Stephensen, aged 75. A respected pioneer of the Biggenden district, the late Mr. Stephensen was born at Tinana on October 7, 1878. His parents were Danish immigrants, who landed in Maryborough. Many of the immigrants settled at Tinana, Pialba and Tiaro. "Christy" was the eldest son of a family of nine, of whom eight were boys.
The family moved from Tinana in the early 1890?s, and followed the construction of the Gayndah line branch railway westward from Mungar Junction to Brooweena, and later to Biggenden, where they settled, and built the first house in Biggenden township.
Christy Stephensen was for 25 years secretary of the Biggenden District A. and P. Society and of the M.U.I.O.O.F. Lodge, and was at all times to the fore in public activities at Biggenden.
He was one of the party which first explored and opened out the Coalstoun Lakes district and was member of the Biggenden Light Horse Contingent, at the welcome to the Duke of York in Brisbane in 1901.
In 1900 he married Marie, daughter of Henry A. Tardcnt, who established the Biggenden State Farm. Mrs. C. J. Stephensen was for many years the Biggenden correspondent of the Maryborough Chronicle.
For the past sixteen years, Mr. C. J. Stephensen has lived at Hobart. His death is mourned by his many relatives and friends in Queensland and Tasmania
