The Late Mr. Henry Cullum
The funeral of the late Mr. Henry Cullum, builder, of Northcroft, took place on Friday afternoon at the Cemetery. The officiating minister was the Rey. H. E. Dean. The mourners were Mrs. Cullum (widow), Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Cullum., Mr. F. G. Callum and Mr. B. B. Cullum. The coffin was of polished elm, and was inscribed :—“Henry Cullum, died February 8th. 1904, in his 66th year."
The deceased was a well-known townsman, and the news of his death came as a surprise to many, for although he had not been seen much of late, it was not known that he was seriously ill. For some time past he had suffered from heart affection, which precluded any active exertion, but the actual cause of death was a paralytic seizure. which caused unconsciousness for two or three days.
Mr. Callum had been prominently identified with public events in Newbury, particularly municipal and Parliamentary elections. or patriotic demonstrations. He was captain of the old Newbury Fire Brigade, which up to 1879 was responsible for the protection of the town. Their last great fire was the disastrous one in Church-lane. When they were disbanded in that year, the Town Council passed a resolution of thanks "for the efficient way they had discharged their duties since they were engaged in 1875." Mr. Cullum was presented with a silver cup in the year 1888. Associatated with him in the Brigade were Sergeant Parsons, Corporal T. Davis. Messrs. Knight, John Stillman, Dodd, Burningham, Lipscomb, Wheeler, Bull, Powers and Cox.
Mr. Cullum, was one of the special constables enrolled during the Fenian scare, and was always ready to undertake public duty when called upon. He was of a genial disposition, and, indeed, called himself “Happy Henry ;" his good-heartedness secured for him many friends who deplore his decease.
He leaves a widow and several sons, by two of whom the business will be carried on. |
