Few and Dreweatt, then Messrs. Dreweatt and Watson, until a few years ago he retired from active duty. He had attended nearly all the most important sales in the district, and himself had a keen eye for any bargain that might happen to be going. He was an ardent angler, and made this his recreation. Deceased was a prominent member of the the Loyal Britons Pride Lodge of Oddfellows for over fifty years and was one of the lodge trustees for 30 or 40 years. Latterly he had been laid aside by serious illness. A few weeks ago he and his wife reached the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding. The funeral took place on Tuesday at Newbury Cemetery, the Rev. A. B. Barnes officiating. The mourners included Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Pyke (son and daughter-in-law), Mr. and Mrs. E.A.Green (daughter and son-in-law), Mr. G.
