WILLIAM EDMONDS
DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM EDMONDS
AN OLD TOWNSMAN AND FORMER MAYOR
The death of Mr. William Edmonds, which took place at midnight on Tuesday at his residence in Craven Road, removes a member of a very old family connected with the business life of Newbury for several centuries. There are Edmandes, Edmunds and Edmonds mentioned in local records, but whatever the spelling, the family is the same. Thomas Edmonds, “One of the Queen's Council”was buried in the churchyard in 1603. John Edmonds, alderman and twice Mayor of the borough died in 1654. John Edmandes was Mayor in 1642 and 1650. Thomas Edmandes was churchwarden in 1616, and Thomas Edmonds from 1693 to 1695.
The subject of the present notice was the last surviving son of the late Mr James Edmonds, who for a generation carried on the long established business of cabinet-makers and upholsterers in Northbrook-street. On his death he was succeeded by his son William, who had gone through the workshops, becoming a skilful producer of well-made furniture. He was very thorough in his methods, and never allowed workmanship to be turned out with any defects. It is a characteristic note of his keenness that after retirement, he occupied his leisure in making articles of artistic design and excellence. His other recreation was quiet motor drives with his old friend, William Freemantle, who he did not long survive.
The late Mr Edmonds, like his ancestors took a share in the life of the community. For some years he was a member of the Town Council, and was elected Mayor in 1898, serving the office with efficiency and credit. For a long period he was a sides man at the Parish Church. He was a member of Newbury Horticultural Society, which enjoyed a long career of success in the promotion of shows and popular fêtes. An old member of Newbury Bowling Green, he succeeded the late Alderman Day in the presidency and took keen interest in the game.
He was a Mason and associated with other local institutions. A man of genial temperament, he enjoyed the companionship of his fellows, and his death will be mourned by a large circle of friends. His age was 75, and he leaves a widow and five daughters. Two of these were living in South Africa, but one happily managed to get home just before her father's death.
The funeral will take place tomorrow (Thursday), the service at the Parish Church being at 3.15pm.
Died 21 December 1925
