MELBOURNE TOOMER

Melbourne Toomer did not live long to enjoy the fame of having received a letter from the Queen. He died in the Workhouse on Sunday from an attack of ague.

He was one of the first Foundation boys of Newbury Grammar school, and was a man of considerable ability, few having a better acquaintance with the works of Shakespeare, which he would aptly quote when occasion prompted. But his talents availed him little, and his opportunities were wasted.

Newbury Weekly News 22 December 1904

Not in Mrs. P

Died aged 68 Born 29 April 1837 the son of Nevil and Elizabeth Toomer Baptised Independent Church 16 July 1837 Not married. Died in Workhouse.
