Stirling, aged 79, was found Wednesday afternoon in the small bungalow where he had lived alone just west of the fork of Waverly avenue and Holbrook road, North Patchogue. Mr. Stirling, a retired lieutenant of the New York Fire department, who had lived here about 25 years, was discovered by Mrs. Minnie Whiteneck of 111-36 143rd street, Jamaica, who had called at the home in reference to the sale of some land, the police say. Receiving no response to her knocking on the door, Mrs. Whiteneck enlisted the aid of Harold Mott, a nearby resident, who pried open a window. Mr. Stirling was lying in bed. Dr. Willetts W.
