Transciption:	HENRY MACCABEE FUNERAL OF MR. H. MACCABEE STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF BAPTIST CHURCH The passing of Mr. Henry Maccabee at his residence, “Roseleigh,” Cromwell-road, Wash Common, on Tuesday in last week, removes a familiar figure from the town and neighbourhood. He was a quiet, unobtrusive man of genial disposition and a character generally to be admired. For many years he was in business as a general house decorator, and is succeeded by his son. He was known as a conscientious workman, always putting the best into everything. As a staunch supporter of the Newbury Baptist Church, he was, together with his wife, one of the oldest members, and both joined the fellowship at about the same time. He was the last surviving member of a large family. Mr. Maccabee, who was in his 76^th year, leaves a widow and six children. The funeral took place on Saturday, a service being held in the Baptist Church prior to the interment at the Newtown-road Cemetery……. The mourners were: Mrs. H. Maccabee (widow), Mr. w.H. Maccabee and Mr. S. Maccabee (sons), Mrs. H. Chalk, Mrs. S. Tilbury and Mrs. E. Guy (daughters), Mrs. S. Macabeee and Mrs. W.H. Maccabee (daughters-in-law), Mr. H. Chalk and Mr. S. Tidbury (sons-in-law), Mr. E. Tilbury and Mr. R. Tilbury grandsons), Miss M. Chalk (grand daughter), Nurse Willis and Mr. and Mrs. Rose.

Biographical Information

The articles below contain information about Henry Maccabee.

Maccabee Family

The Maccabee Family

We have already described the Family grave of the Maccabee family because Corporal Thomas Maccabee, a soldier in the First World War, is buried there as well as his parents, Henry and Elizabeth. Thomas died a few years after the end of the War of wounds received in battle and, therefore, his grave has been nominated as a Commonwealth War Grave.

Both his parents, Henry and Elizabeth, are also buried there (grave ref LS(G)36) and there is a memorial to another son, Reginald, who, died of wounds suffered in the same battle as his brother.

They also had three other sons, William Henry, Sidney Frank and Montague Albert, who fought in the Great War but all survived. They are not interred at Newtown Road Cemetery

In another area of the Cemetery are buried their sons Edward, who died in 1913 at the age of 22 and Stanley Walter, who died in 1902 at the age of 8 months. (Grave ref P(J)26).

The family were from Wash Common where the father, Henry, was a painter and glazier.
