Transciption:	FREDERICK ELLIOTT RTYOTT THE LATE DR. RYOTT J.P. It Is with very deep regret that we have to record the almost sudden and unexpected death of Dr. Frederick Elliott Ryott, which took place yesterday (Wednesday) morning, the 27th inst., at about half-past nine, at his residence, Northbrook-street*. Until about three years ago, Dr. Ryott had enjoyed the best of health, and during the whole course of an extended practice had never been laid aside by Illness. We understand, however, that some eighteen months or two years ago, the deceased gentleman suffered a good deal from pains in the chest and back, preventing him from walking to any great extent. He sought the advice of personal friends of the medical profession, including Sir William Broadbent and Dr. Steven Mackenzie, physicians of the highest skill, but none of them were able to find any cause for alarm, and under treatment the more painful symptoms were removed, and Dr. Ryott was able to continue his professional duties, though unable to walk with the same ease as formerly. During the last month or two more serious symptoms have presented themselves, suggesting to his medical friends that some organic mischief existed in connection with the large vessels of the heart. Within the last fortnight he was partially laid aside, and as he failed to make any improvement be sought absolute rest, his professional duties being meanwhile carried on by Dr. John Watson, from whom he had previously received assistance. Heart mischief, however, developed rapidly; he was taken worse early yesterday morning, and during the forenoon, the intelligence that Dr. Ryott was no more, came as a painful surprise to the public, most of whom were scarcely aware of the serious nature of his illness. The deceased gentleman was the eldest son of the late Mr. Robert Atkinson Ryott, of Northbrook street, who was many years a member of the Town Council, and had filled the office of chief magistrate of the borough. Dr. Ryott was educated as a foundation scholar at the Newbury Grammar School, and was always proud of his connection with this ancient educational institution of our borough. On deciding to enter the medical profession, be studied at the London Hospital, and qualified in 1857 and 1858 as a Member of the College of Surgeons and Licentiate of the Hall. It was shortly after this, - having previously obtained some practice as an assistant in the surgery of a London practitioner, the late Dr. Fowler,—he commenced practice in Newbury. In 1870 he became Fellow of the College of Surgeon., and in 1875, M.D. of St. Andrews University. He was throughout a hard and persevering worker, and by his ability and attention to his patients, be built up a large and influential practice. He was one of the Honorary Staff of the Newbury Hospital, and consulting Physician of the Newbury Dispensary. In 1880, he was created Justice of the Peace for his native borough ; and was also appointed a Trustee of the Municipal Charities, and subsequently one of the Board of Governors of the Grammar School Foundation ; he was elected in as a Councillor on the Berkshire County Council, to which be has rendered valuable service as a member and visitor of the Moulsford Asylum Committee. He was also one of the Trustees of the Coxedd and Pearce Charity, and a director of the Newbury Water Works Company. In politics, Dr. Ryott was a staunch Conservative, and Churchman, though of moderate views. His removal at the comparatively early age of 59, when he might have hoped for many years to have usefully served the interests of his native borough, has occasioned a deep sensation in the town, and much sympathy Is felt for his widow. Dr Ryott leaves no issue. The funeral will take place early next week. Presiding at the Borough Pollce Court, yesterday morning, immediately after the death had been announced, the Mayor (Mr. Councillor Elliott) said :—The news of the somewhat sudden death of Dr. Ryott, one of tbe Magistrates of the Borough, has fallen upon our town this morning with a startling effect. The Bench desire the Clerk to convey their heart-felt sympathy to the family in the sorrowful circumstances by which they are surrounded - a sorrow that is intensified by the suddenness of their great bereavement.

Transciption:	FREDERICK ELLIOTT RYOTT LOCAL CHIT-CHAT The Rector of Newbury sustained a serious loss on Monday. He had £2O in his coat pocket, two notes and £lO in gold, and when officiating at Dr Ryott's funeral left his coat in the vestry. He subsequently went on to the cemetery in his cassock and surplice. The coat was sent for, and it is presumed that the money dropped from the pocket whilst being carried to the Rectory. The loss has been widely advertised, and I hope it will result in the recovery of the money. TATLER. Thursday 04 January 1894 Newbury Weekly News and General Advertiser
