| Transciption: | WILLIAM MEDLAND THE LATE REV. W. MEDLAND With reference to our notice last week of this lamented gentleman’s decease and interment, we are informed that he had not been at any time a missionary, as we had been given to understand. The cause of death is stated to have been erisypelas,* [sic] which supervened some days after the operation for the tumour had been successfully performed. The tumour is not attributed by the medical men to any wound in the previous part of his life, as conjectured by some. Mr. Medland, we may add, had established a claim to authorship by the favourite juvenile book, known as “Lame Annie” which proceeded from his pen. *erysipelas a skin disease Newbury Weekly News 7 December 1871 Buried 28 Nov. 1871 Bk 1868 p. 058 no. 2861 “Died at Bromley, Middlesex” Mrs. P. p 63 Ch 14 Died 23 November 1871 aged 39 Also wife Louisa Frances died “Feast of Stephen 1873 aged 29” |

THE LATE REV. W. MEDLAND.—The melancholy tidings reached Newbury on Thursday last that the Rev. W. Medland, late curate of St. John's, had expired at two o'clock that morning, at Bromley, Kent.
The deceased gentleman had left Newbury only a short time previously for London, where he underwent an operation for a cancer in the side, which was brought on by a wound sustained some years since when abroad as a missionary. The unfavourable symtoms subsequently set in, and the deceased expired somewhat suddenly as above stated, at the age of 39, leaving a widow and five children to deplore their irreparable loss.
On Sunday last, the altar, lecture, fald-stool at St. John's Church, were draped in violet. The morning sermon was preached by the Rev. H. Morgan, from Psalm xc., 1, and the evening by the Rev. L. K. Hilton from Luke xix. 41,42, at the close of which the rev. gentleman alluded to the devotion manifested by the deceased in his work, and the esteem he gained of those among whom he laboured.
On Tuesday morning there was a celebration of the communion at ten o clock, the communicants which numbered upwards of 50, including the relatives and friends of the deceased. The corpse arrived at Newbury station by the 12.27 train. and was removed by bearers on a bier to St. John's Church, followed by the mourners in the procession. The clergy and choristers met the cortege at the church door, the former including the Revs. H. Morgan, T. Hubbard, L. K. Hilton. C. Grinstead, J. M. Conolly, C. Boyd, A. J. Goode, H.. Blagden ,vicar of Hughenden, and A. A. Cameron, (Hurst).
The opening sentences of the service mere chanted as the pro- session moved up the aisle, followed by the 90th Psalm, chanted to Gregorian tones. The lesson was read by the Rev. T. Hubbard, the late vicar. Hymn 142, "Brief life is here our portion," was sung as a processional to the cemetery ; on reaching which Hymn 182 was sung, and the service at the grave was performed by the Rev. L. K. Hilton. The well known hymn " Jerusalem the Golden" was sung as a recessional by the clergy and choristers, the mourners being left at the grave, among whom were Mrs. Medland, the widow, Mr. and Miss Medland, father and sister of the deceased, Mr. W. Medland, brother, Mrs. Golding, Mr, Golding, Miss Golding, Miss E. Golding, Mrs. Hamilton, Miss Carbonell, the servants of the deceased, and others.
Two beautiful wreaths, two of white chrysanthemums, and a cross of choice hothouse flowers were laid upon the coffin. The school children and several members of the congregation also dropped small crosses of yew and chrysanthemums upon the coffin, which was of polished oak, with large brass cross and inscription. The ceremony, which was numerously attended, was most impressively rendered, and many were deeply affected. There was a total absence of hatbands amongst the mourners and bearers. The blinds of the houses along the route were drawn down as a mark of respect.
Mention of the melancholy occurrence was made on Sunday from the pulpits of Newbury, Greenham, and other churches of the neighbourhood.
