WOMAN FOUND DEAD
Body On Roadside
Near Car
An elderly woman was found dead beside a car on Mount Pleasant road, near the Summit road, about 3 p.m. yesterday. She was Dr. Rosa Stern, aged 71, of 28 Macmillan avenue, Cashmere. She was a cereal chemist employed at T. J. Edmonds, Ltd. The body, lying in the grass at the roadside, was noticed by a passing motorist. The police reported that there were no suspicious circumstances.
Dr. Stern came from Vienna and joined the Wheat Research Institute in 1939. She resigned in 1950 to enter private practice as a chemical consultant. Dr. Stern shared in the work of the laboratory and also carried out a series of important biochemical researches. The results of this work appeared as four papers in the principal cereal chemical journal “Cereal Chemistry.” One paper was published in the “Biochemical Journal.”
Mr R. H. Stewart, president of the Canterbury Manufacturers’ Association, and leader of the New Zealand trade mission to the Pacific Islands, will return to Christchurch on Saturday.
