'Stuart Rusden Stoneman was a businessman, art collector and quiet philanthropist who strongly believed that the success he achieved in business should service the communities in which he worked and gained that success. Born in 1927, he grew up in Castlemaine and lived there until retiring to Mt Macedon in 1989. He was a grocer by trade and a gentleman by nature.
