John Pound - SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OLD TOWNSMAN
John Pound
SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OLD TOWNSMAN
Mr. John Pound died suddenly on Sunday morning at his residence, No. 12 Beaconsfield terrace. He had been in failing health for some time, suffering from an affection of the heart, for which he had been treated by Dr. John Watson, and had consulted Sir William Broadbent.
He had been away for a holiday, returning about a fortnight since. On Saturday evening he went for a drive with his nephew, Mr John Stoodley. He passed a restless night and about four o'clock his condition alarmed Mrs. Pound, who sent for her nephew. and he arrived just before his uncle breathed his last.
Mr. Pound was a monumental mason, and succeeded his uncle, Mr Job Hanson. about 21 years ago in the conduct of the business at Speenhamland, which is about the oldest in Newbury, being traced back in the Hanson family for over 200 years. The oldest memorial stones in the graveyards in the neighbourhood bear the name of Hanson. Four years ago he retired in favour of his nephew, Mr. John Stoodley, who has carried on the business, and will continue to do so.
Mr Pound was a hardworking straightforward man, who devoted himself to the developement (sic) and management of his business. Since his retirement he had been approached with a view of taking part in public life, but his health prevented.
The funeral takes place to-morrow in Newbury Cemetery.

It seems ironic that as he was a stone mason no monument has been found as neither Mrs. P. nor the Monument Recording Group have come across a gravestone for him.
