| Transciption: | April 24 1947 Birthday treat When Mr James Edward Pratt, of Winchcombe Road. Newbury, wakens from his afternoon nap tomorrow, he will find the table laid for his eight fifth birthday party, complete with a birthday cake and eighty-five candles. Second of a family of ten Mr Pratt was born on April 25th, 1862, at St Nicholas’ School, where his father Mr Henry Pratt was then headmaster. In 1873 Mr Pratt won a scholarship to St Bartholomew’s Grammar School then a small community of about forty boys under the headship of the Rev A Steane and occupying the premises now known as the Litten. For many years Mr Pratt carried on a stationers' business at 64, Cheap street but his true vocation was old English lettering and illuminating work, two examples or which are to be seen In the Parish Church. Mr Pratt is a sidesman at St Nicholas and was for many years organist at the mission in Wharf Road being in fact interested in all parochial matters and socials. Mr Pratt is hale and hearty has good sight and is of the fact that he does not wear false teeth, finding his own quite sufficient to cope with the meagre diet of today. He enjoys light domestic duties and shopping and is of a kindly contented nature being seldom roused. |
