OBITUARY
MR DAVID BISHELL (Per United Press Association) BLENHEIM, Sept. 17. The death occurred on Saturday of Mr David Bishell, aged 90, a pioneer agriculturist and stud sheep breeder. Coming to Marlborough 66 years ago from Caythorpe, Lincolnshire, he established the now well-known Lincoln stud on a property which he named after his native village. He also bred Romneys and Southdowns, but the principal success of the stud has been with Lincolns. Besides a long record of service on local bodies, Mr Bishell claimed to be the first farmer in New Zealand to grow clover for the extraction of seed.
