Transcription:

THE LATE MR. J.B. TURK

Death has removed another townsman in the person of Mr. John Burton Turk, who since the death of his father has carried on the old-established iron-foundry in Cheap-street. Turk's ploughs are well-known in the agricultural world and have enjoyed a reputation for efficiency, often standing high in the lists when ploughing matches were a recognised incident of agricultural life.

Mr. Turk a member of the Volunteer Company for many years, and his death at the comparatively early ageof 39 will be much regretted by his friends.

The funeral is on Saturday.
