DEATH OF MR. W. H. EAST
Greatly to the regret of many friends the death took place on Tuesday of Mr. W.H. East manager to Mr. N. Liddiard, of The Bridge.
He came from Hagbourne and had been in Newbury for forty years, and in the same business thirty-five, with Mr. Liddiard. “Fred” as he was familiarly known to a large circle of customers, was unfailingly courteous and willing to oblige, and during the trying times of the war, when there were many difficulties to contend with, he succeeded in satisfying demands and smoothing over criticism.
Mr East lost his wife about a year ago, and had never completely recovered from the bereavement. He had been ill for some time.
The funeral will take place at the Parish Church on Friday, at 2pm.

THE LATE MR. W.H. EAST
The funeral of Mr. William Henry East, for forty years manager of Mr. Liddiard’s butcher’s business on the Bridge, took place on Friday afternoon. A large congregation attended the service held in the Parish Church, which was sympathetically conducted by the Rev. T.H. Liddiard. Mr. J.S. Liddle, organist, played appropriate music before and after, and the hymn “Rock of Ages” was feelingly sung.
The mourners were the Misses Betty, Ada and May East (daughters), Mr. and Mrs. Ted East, Mr. and Mrs. Tom East (brothers and sisters-in-law), Mrs. and Miss Maiden (sister and niece), Mr. and Mrs. Cullimore (cousins), Messrs. W. Williams, E. Scott, H. Bolton, W.H. Gibbings. The staff at the Bridge were represented by Miss Cox, Miss Freeman, Messrs H. Twissell, H. Plumb, J.H. Pemberton, A. Hollands, F. Timms and F.
