ELIZABETH JOYNSON
A Well-known Personage
The death has occurred of rs Elizabeth Joynson in her 86th year. She lived in Kennet road for a period of 70 years, and during a large portion of that time was well known to the younger generation as the maker and seller of a variety of sweetstuff which was wholesome, cheap and abundant. They were generally known as “Forty a penny” and had been the speciality of her father before her. any processions of children on their way from Sunday School to church were tempted to stray in search of sweets to eat during the sermon, and it isto be feared some succumbed.
The late Mrs Joynson was a cheery soul and kept her cottage in spotless comfort. She had a welcome word for passers-by and ready to give a helping hand to her neighbours. She spent her closing days with her daughter in Reading, where she died.
