GEORGE SCARR HIGGONS

The Late Mr GEORGE SCARR HIGGONS. - This gentleman, who was one of the oldest of our townsmen, passed away on Friday last, after a brief illness from paralysis. For some years past he had resided with his relative Mr. Hanington, though formerly he was in business as a draper, and occupying a leading position in the borough. As far back as 1842 Mr.Higgons was Mayor of Newbury, and carried out the duties of the office of Chief Magistrate with great public spirit. He was exceedingly genial, extremely liberal-hearted, and was highly respected, as was evidenced by the general way in which his neighbours closed their shutters on the day of the funeral on Tuesday last. He was laid to rest in the cemetery, the Rector reading the burial service
