Portrait and Biographical Record
Job W Stocks, a retired farmer residing at 1048 West Decatur street in the city of Decatur, is numbered amongst the native sons of Ohio, his birth having occurred in Ross county, that state on the 28 March, 1860.  He is a son of George and Miriam (Epworth) Stocks and is of English decent.  His father was born in Berry Brow, England, and was a son of Benjamin and Mary Stocks.  Benjamin Stocks was a mechanic, and worked in the factories of England, never leaving his native land.  He and his wife were buried at the old home there.

George stocks was educated in the schools of England and as a young man, came to the new world, thinking to have better opportunities and find better privileges on this side of the Atlantic.  While making the voyage to this new world he met the lady whom he afterward married, the wedding ceremony being performed a short time after their arrival in the United States.  Both the Stocks and Epworth families went on to Ohio, where they made their first settlement in the southern part of the state, probably in Vinton county near the Ross county line.  George Stocks worked at odd jobs for a time and later became connected with the railway interests, becoming a practical civil engineer.  In England he was associated with old Jimmy Griffiths, prominent in English history, Mr. Stocks acting as one of his assistants.  For some time he worked as a civil engineer in railroad construction here but afterward purchased a farm in Vinton county, Ohio, clearing the land and preparing it for plow (plough).  He remained upon that place for about nine years and then sold the property, after which he came to Illinois.  In this state he first rented a farm of Robert Patterson, about six miles south of Decatur and near the village of Elwin.  He was there for six yeas after which he purchased a farm in Moultrie county and about a year later took up his abode at that place.  This has since been known as the old Stocks homestead and the father resided thereon until his death.  His remains were interred in the New Hope cemetery near Dalton City and in his passing the community mourned a representative and esteemed resident of the county.

Biography - Joseph Stocks

Portrait and Biographical Record
Joseph Stocks was proprietor and owner of the Montana Farm, situated on section 15, Dora Township, Moultrie County.  A native of England, he was born on April 6 1838.  His father Benjamin Stocks was also born in England in 1797 and in 1818 was united with Sarah Campinot.  Seven children were born of their union, Mary, Ellen, George, James, Ann, Emma and Joseph, all whom died before Joseph.

Joseph started work at the age of 14 for $1 per week, working on the Lancashire & Yorkshire railway.  He remained with them for 5 years, the last year getting $3 per week, out of which he saved a portion for coming to America, where better opportunities and privileged afforded young men he believed.

At the age of 19, he sailed from Liverpool, April 7 1857 arriving in Now York, May 8.  He went at once to Vinton County, Ohio and there started out with only 10c to his name.  While there he learnt the wagon-maker’s trade, working the first year for $5 per month and board, whilst the second year he received the magnificent salary of $7.50 per month.  After this, Joseph learned the blacksmiths trade and when he had mastered the business, he and Ira Day built a shop for themselves in Scotia Valley, in Ohio where they remained till the spring of 1863. That year witnessed: his arrival in Illinois.  He went to Mattoon in charge of the wagons, carriages and horses belonging to E. W. Vause, who was moving out, and he worked for that gentleman until the 1st of October 1863 when he removed to Stark County.  There he remained until January, when he returned to Ohio, but after a short time he started for California.  On the way he stopped in Iowa and Minnesota for a short time, and there, meeting a party bound for Montana with ox-teams, he joined them and they reach their destination after a trip of five months as seven days.  There Mr tocks began working in the gold diggings, and followed mining and blacksmithing for about eight years.

In the fall of 1869 he made a trip to England by way of California, stopping to see his brother George who lived south of Decatur.  When he came to  Moultrie County, he bought 160 acres of land of George Shrull, which was his first real estate and present home, but afterwards returned to Montana, in May, 1870, and December 15 1872, he returned to Moultrie to try farming.

In 1874 Mr Stocks again returned on a visit to his old home, where he spent a number of pleasant months with his aged parents, remaining until 1875 and leaving them in good care.  His mother died April 23 1875, aged 77 years, and his father died June 17 1875, aged 78 years.  The latter sold off his furniture twice, in preparation to come to America, but sickness prevented him doing so.  He often remarked that his body was in England but his thoughts were in America.

When Joseph came back to Illinois, our subject bought at different times 400 acres of land in Moiltrie and Macon Counties.  The greater part of the land however, is situated on section 15, Dora Township, Moultrie County.  Although the farm is all in one, divided only by the invisible county line.  The farm is one of the best in the community, in fact it ranks among the model farms of the nineteenth century.  There he engages in stock-raising in addition to general farming, and keeps on hand a fine grade of horse, cattle and hogs.  The improvements upon the place all stand as monuments to his thrift and enterprise, and the buildings are excellent, including a fine barn, which was erected at a cost of $6,000.

In his political affiliations, Mr Stocks is identified with the Democratic party, and has held the office of Township Clerk or Dora County.  Socially, he is connected with the Masonic and Odd Fellows’ fraternities and the Knights of the Maccabees.  Upright and honourable in all his dealings, he is a gentleman in every sense of the word, and enjoys the respect and esteem of the entire community in which he lives, and to this regard he is justly entitles.

Family Tree - Dave Pickles

Email correspondance
Christening records suggest there may have been other children in the gap between the first two.

In 1841 Thomas and Zilpah were both servants at Town Hill House, Bradford (near Wakefield Road). Ten years later they ran the Wellington Inn, Bingley, and William was lodging with them along with a 7-year-old ‘nephew’ Thomas Wood - was he the son of an unknown sister of Thomas? Later they moved to Leeds together with the nephew) and ran a butchers shop. They had one son, Thomas Whitaker Pickles who married in 1878 and lived in Bingley; the marriage was childless.

Robert and Hannah lived in Bingley all their lives except for a period around 1860 when they were in Kildwick, and worked in the weaving trade. They had three children. In 1851 Caroline was living with them in Bingley.

Dineley disappears after 1841. There was a Dinley Pickles, coal miner later grocer in Methley, Leeds, who was born in 1831 the son of a Thomas Pickles and died in 1880, but there is no proven link to this family.

Caroline married in 1859 to a widower 17 years her senior and with 5 grown-up children. Initially a Corn Miller, in 1861 he was innkeeper at the Globe Inn, Toller Lane, Bradford. However by 1871 he was a labourer in Bingley. The couple had three children of their own including a pair of twins named Thomas and Zilpha after her eldest brother and his wife.

The parents and all of the other children disappear between 1841 and 1851.

Family Tree - Jeff Buckley

Email correspondance and GenesReunited
John (b 1776, d 27 Jan 1853) married Mary ? (b 1780, d 3 Jan 1860) John was born in Latham, Yorkshire but lived all his adult life in Bolton Lancashire. His occupation is described as 'Oil Sheet Worker' in the 1851 census, a 'Tarpaul Sheet  Maker' on Mary's death cert. and an 'Oil Cloth Maker' on his own death cert. During his time in Bolton he lived at 34 Crook Street and this is the address given on his death cert. John and Mary's children are: Sarah Ann (b 1803), Cornelius (b 1805), Jonathon (b 1810), Mary (b 1813), Ellen (b1815) and Benjamin (b1822).

I think I've located Latham as a small hamlet on the outskirts of Gomersal in West Yorkshire but as yet I haven't been able to find John's birth.

I am confused about one thing, I have another Jonathan, also born to John and Mary and also baptised at Moor Lane Baptist, but this one's date of birth is 21 Jan 1827. So there's a bit of sorting out to do!

I'll let you digest this lot to start with, let me know if I can help with anything more.

I live in Quorn, Leicestershire so researching in Yorkshire isn't easy. Where are you located?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, Benjamin did marry Patience Oldham daughter of Samuel Oldham of Stowe, Warwickshire. A further piece of information about Cornelius, he was married twice. The first time to Margaret Miller ( as recorded in the Moor Lane Baptist record) and then to Esther Scowcroft.

I have been told (although I haven't seen it myself yet) that Cornelius and Esther are buried in Darcy Lever, Bolton parish churchyard along with two sons and a daughter, Josiah (d 03/06/1846) age 5 years, Ephraim (d
23/02/1849) age 9 months and Sarah Ellen (d 18/09/1912) age 61 years. I believe these are children of the second marriage.

Descendants of Christian Fredrich Dittmer


Generation No. 1

1.  CHRISTIAN FREDRICH1 DITTMER  He married MARIA LUISE BLIESENER. 
    
Children of CHRISTIAN DITTMER and MARIA BLIESENER are:
2.    i.    JOHN HENRY CHRISTIAN (CHRISTOPHER)2 DITTMER, b. 19 Jun 1845, Neu Massow, Pommern, Prussia, Germany; d. Abt. 1902, Liverpool.
    ii.    HERMAN DITTMER, b. Abt. 1857.


Generation No. 2

2.  JOHN HENRY CHRISTIAN (CHRISTOPHER)2 DITTMER (CHRISTIAN FREDRICH1) was born 19 Jun 1845 in Neu Massow, Pommern, Prussia, Germany, and died Abt. 1902 in Liverpool.  He married CATHAINE MARIA MARGARETTIA Bet. Oct - Dec 1874.  She was born in Germany.

Notes for JOHN HENRY CHRISTIAN (CHRISTOPHER) DITTMER:
In the census of 1881 the Dittmers are the only family in Lancashire with this surname- there was a border staying with them by the name of Herman Dittmer (possibly a brother?).

1881 census details as follows;

Surname        Given Names        Age        Sex        Position

Dittmer        Christian        36        M        Head
Dittmer        Margaret        24        F        Wife
Dittmer        Herman            24        M        Border
Dittmer        Dorothy            12        F        Daughter
Dittmer        Mary            5        F        "           "
Dittmer        George            2        M        Son
Dittmer        Christopher Frederick    3mths        M        "   "        

A problem with this is that Dorothy must have been the daughter froma previous marriage as Margaret is too young to have given birth to her.

By 1891 Christian (Christopher) is shown as a Sugar Boiler maker living at 45 Ascot Street.  No sign of Dorothy oin the Census form so she may have married in the interim, or I guess have died.

1901 Census- living at 13 Lambeth Rd , Kirkdale,

(1) John Mather  I have a copy of the grave records dated 1873 which are in the family.  The grave was bought originally for £2 by Elizabeth in 1865 and is in Tonge and Haulgh cemetery (at the back of where Fred Dibnah used to live)  Ref - 2:F:29NC  There are 3 inmates buried as follows:
       25/3/1865            John Mather                49 years
       15/11/1902          Ruth Inman                 48 years
       9/11/1908            Hannah Richardson     65 years
There is no tombstone but  I think it is next to the grave bought by John's brother George also in 1865 when his first wife died.  I copied the epitaph from the tombstone  as matriarch Alice Mather, Samuel’s widow, is buried here as well as George and family.

(2) Elizabeth Kay was probably a reeler in the cotton industry in 1841 -  I've come across this job title before.  Her death certificate says she died "by the visitation of God from natural causes".  No wonder there was an inquest!

(3) Ruth Mather was born on 2 August 1854 at 58 Chorley St.  Her father John was then a time keeper according to the birth certificate.  She was aged 16 on the 1871 census but a line is across the employment column so I don't know whether she worked prior to her marriage.  She married James Inman on 9th  April 1879 at the former Claremont Baptist Church, Bolton - where I was also married just over 90 years later.  Amos Inman and Sarah Alice Mather were witnesses.

James Inman was born in Richmond, Yorkshire on 22th  July  1852, son of Dorothy and David a stonemason who died young.  James was a stationer in 1871 and sometime before 1879,  for reasons unknown, moved from the rather imposing Frenchgate in Richmond to be a boarder at Clarence St Bolton.  He was a bookseller's assistant at Winterburns bookshop on Deansgate.  My aunt tells me he lost his job when the son of the owner was old enough to work in the shop.  Presumably he then decided to follow Joseph to Birkenhead where he had a similar job as a stationer’s assistant.  Here began a grim life for the family.  Birth, death and census records show at least 6 different addresses for the family although I understand it was not unusual for famillies living in towns in Victorian times to move frequently.  As you know 2 of the 5 children died:
Elizabeth Dora Inman died 19 January 1894 from T.B. ) I have their death certs
William Inman died 7 March 1894 from meningitis      )
Maybe it was all too much for James.  Rumour suggested that although he was registered as deceased on Sarah Ellen's 1908 marriage certificate and Ruth Mather’s 1902 death certificate he had in fact gone off to Australia.  The new emigration website finds him aged 47 on a passenger list for Sydney in 1900 but I don't know if he went alone.  It would be interesting to find out what then happened to him.

By 1901 Ruth and her daughters were living in Bolton with sister Hannah and husband at the Royal Tiger pub at 2/4 Noble Street.  Ruth died the following year aged 48 at 16 Osborne Street from pneumonia and and heart failure.

Inman daughters

 

Sarah Ellen married my grandfather Alfred Hunt, a plumber, in 1908.  They emigrated to Toronto, Canada where they had a good life for a few years until they were probably persuaded by my greatgrandfather James Hunt to return in 1913.  A terrible mistake.  Another grim time followed marked by extreme poverty.  Of their 5 children Ruth, Jim and Nell were born in Canada and the younger 2 Alfred and Lilian (still alive and has provided some of the above information) in Bolton.  Sarah Ellen died in Bolton in 1951.

Lilian and Margaret also emigrated to Canada.  Lilian married (I have the wedding photo) and moved to Vancouver taking Margaret with her.  I met these 2 ladies when they came over for my aunt Lilian's wedding c.1947.  Lilian senior was a large domineering woman and Margaret a small, thin, frail spinster.  They died in Vancouver.

(4)  Hannah Richardson nee Mather  and Robert Buchan Richardson
I wonder if this couple had a baby late in life- Hannah would have been 49 or whether the following refers to a grandchild
Robert Buchan Richardson   BIRTH  BOLTON 1894 MAR 8c 457
  "                                         DEATH BOLTON 1894 SEPT 8c 191 aged 0

I found these workhouse records quite harrowing.  Could nobody in the family have helped?  John B lived quite a while after this
24/12/1907    Admitted from Bolton - John Mather labourer born 1852 aged 55   Destitution and fractured ribs
26/12/1907    Admitted from Bolton - Hannah Richardson born 1842 (actually 1844) aged 65 (incorrect)   Jack Frame Tenter  Destitution, Filthy and Cellulitis of the neck
6/1/1908        Richardson Hannah 65 Dead Interred by friends  Cause of death cellulitis of neck/toxaemia  Spinster from the workhouse (wrong again).

Hello John

The only info I have on John Buckley ABT 1776 is that he was from Lathom in Yorkshire, which you probably know anyway.

Two weeks ago I visited St Stephens Church in Darcy Lever as my parents still live near by (Radcliffe) to see which Buckley's where buried there.

I found that Cornelius was in there with his wife Esther Scowcroft and there Daughter Mary but apart from a couple others that's the only relations what where buried there.

Do you live in that area???

Judging by your e-mail reply I am guessing that you have a lot of info like dates etc on the Buckley Family anyway?

Anyway thanks for you reply and keep in touch and if you want anything else I will try and help

I think the Pighills family tree is incorrect. My wife is descended from Timothy Pighills (1838 to 1899).

His father was married twice, first to Sarah Smith in 1815, who was buried in 1822, and then married Ann Pighills in 1824.

The children from his first marriage were Martha and Joseph.

The children of John (the father) appear to have been involved in the sale of butter and eggs through Timothy’s wholesale business, with one of his brothers farming in Westmoreland and the remainder in and around Addingham.



I have not proven the identities of John and Ann Pighills, although I am reasonably certain that John was born in Wilsden and baptised in Haworth.

This information may possibly be of some help to you.  I have just been through my grandmothers birthday book (Ann Hale, nee Brereton) and extracted the following information.

8 February 1806     George Brereton
25 September 1833    Richard Brereton
19 March 1854    John Brereton
2 April 1856    Ann Brereton, Ann Hale (Grandmother)
11 June 1858     Richard Brereton
9 February 1861 George Brereton
14 June 1863 Lydia Brereton
7 September 1863    Mary Brereton

Mary Brereton I think is a daughter of another Brereton.  I am quite confident that the others John down to Lydia are brothers and sisters.

Also recorded is the birth of Ester Eddows 3 May 1833.

I know that Alice Mather was living with her daughter and son-in-law in 1861 at 167 Lever Street, Bolton.  Also living with them were Maria Barrow (Happy’s daughter from her first marriage to John Barrow) and Samuel Shuttleworth (Phineas & Happy’s son and my great grandfather).  Happy & Phineas also had another son, Thomas, born in 1858 but he died in 1859.

Maria Barrow went on to marry William Collins and had a son in 1864 called Jesse.  Maria died on 21st October 1866 from Phthisis (tuberculosis) aged 22 years.  This is the same Jesse Collins who is living with Phineas, Happy, Samuel and Alice Mather at 67 Blackbank Street, Bolton, on the 1871 Census.

Samuel Mather died in Bolton on 1st May 1854 at 4 Simpson Street, Bolton and his certified cause of death was apoplexy which I believe to be a stroke.  His death was registered by his daughter Happy Shuttleworth who was in attendance at the death.

Alice Mather died in Bolton on 17th November 1879 at 5 Nell Street, Bolton (she was living here with Phineas, Happy and Jesse Collins) and her certified cause of death was Natural Decay (old age I presume!).  Her death was registered by her son Samuel Mather who was in attendance at the death and who also lived in Nell Street but I’m not sure what number.

My name is Natalie Stocks, wife of Jerry Stocks, and I came across your Stocks family tree while doing a "google" search for our ancestor, Benjamin Stocks.  It appears that our Benjamin and your ancestor Job Stocks (wife Lucy Crosland) were brothers.  We had no information regarding Benjamin's parents or grandparents, but thanks to you, we now have found this valuable info! 

I have the following to contribute to your Stocks tree:

Benjamin and Sarah Campinot had the following children:

Mary b. 10/06/1819 m. William R. Boothroyd (4 children)

Ellen b. 06/14/1822 d. 1852 m. Mr. Ashton (3 children)

George b. 12.26/1824 (our ancestor) d. 1893, IL m. Miriam Epworth

James b. 09/29/1827

Ann b. 08/08/1830 m. Mr. Bennett d. 10/1870

Emma b. 03/01/1836 d. 03/06/1853

Joseph b. 04/06/1838 d. 06/16/1928, IL

Our aunt's traveled to Berry Brow, Armitage Bridge last spring to locate tombstones and such.  Would love to share additional information about the Stocks family.  We have letters written by Job Stocks upon the death of his brother Benjamin to his children who immigrated to America in 1850.  Look forward to sharing more!

I believe Sarah Margaret Tyack was sister to Elizabeth Tyack, an ancestor (my 3x great grandmother) I’ve been trying to trace. From what I’ve found Sarah appears to have been the youngest of 4 (Jane c.1833, Elizabeth c.1839, James 1840, Sarah Margaret 1847). Their parents, James and Mary were from Ireland and Harlech,  Merionthshire (Wales) respectively. They spent some time in Liverpool (where Jane and Elizabeth were both born) before moving to 82 Mersey Street, Seacombe some time between 1839-40. In the 1841 census James’ occupation is listed as ‘Boatman’ while the 1851 census shows him as working as a Dock Gateman.

By the 1861 census the family, with the exception of Jane who had presumably left home,  had moved to 200 Price Street, Birkenhead and enlarged by 2 – Elizabeth’s now husband, Robert Hamilton and their first child Elizabeth Ann. In addition the family had 2 lodgers sharing the house.

By April 1863 when Robert and Elizabeth had their second child, John Whinton, the Hamiltons had moved out to a home of their own at Rosemount, Oxton. 

The 1871 census shows only Mary and Sarah Margaret living together at 56 Cathcart Street, Birkenhead. Although Mary is recorded as married rather than widowed, she is registered as head of the household. There is no sign of either James senior or junior – both may of course have died in the intervening time or perhaps one or both emigrated (?) Mary’s status as head of the household does of course suggest that at any rate James senior was no longer residing at the family home (as opposed to simply being out at the time of the census).

By the 1881 census Mary and Sarah had moved down the road to 144 Cathcart Street. In this census Mary is registered as a widow. They are however joined by another James Tyack (11 months old) who is registered as son of the head of the household. By this time Mary was 76 suggesting that perhaps James was the illegitimate son of Sarah or possibly one of Mary’s other children.

Following Sarah’s death in 1885, her mother Mary passed away in 1890 (death register of Jan-Mar vol. 8a pg 399). There is no record on the 1891 census of the young James – perhaps he was adopted and therefore his name was changed or possibly died in infancy(?)

My great great grandfather moved to Liverpool with the rest of the family from Neu Massow in Prussia in the mid 1800's - only Dittmers in Liverpool ... Sugar workers.....

Alice Dittmer did indeed die in Port Sunlight - was a retirement home for people who worked for Sunlight Soap - my Mum tells the whole story - quite sad really ...

My Mums brother was Fred - policeman in Liverpool - died of a stroke (I think) mid 1970's.

Newspaper - Birkenhead News 1908

" BOWLS " by Scotch Bias
( Photograph of Mr John Mather. )
Hon sec, Gladstone Liberal Club.

Our Portrait.    Mr. John Mather, whose portrait comes into our picture gallery to-day is known throughout Birkenhead and Wirral as an enthusiast of many forms of sport and athletics.  Thirteen years ago Mr Mather succeeded “Scotch Bias” as secretary of the finest second class football club recorded in the annals of the Cheshire Rugby Union, and even before that date the present secretary of the glorious fraternity of Gladstone Liberal bowlers chased the inflated leather in winter, and wielded the willow in summer. John Mather was born in an atmosphere of homely life and affection nurtured on the principles of integrity and uprightness, and to-day he emulates a worthy father and citizen.  But if he shines as a secretary, for he is an example as an energetic and painstaking official, he too can play bowls to his own satisfaction, and as often as not to the discomfortture of his opponents. When a resident of the North end of the borough Mr Mather was a member of the Birkenhead Park B.C. for five years (1897 to 1902) then like all good subjects of the King, he took unto himself a wife, and in the latter years he removed to the breezy and sylvan heights of Tranmere.  ln 1902 he joined the Gladstone section of bowlers, and in due course was offered and accepted the post of hon. secretary, whilst he filled every office with the exception of treasurer.  Mr Mather has also been on tile handicapping committee for five seasons and his knowledge of this particular branch is extensive. Coming from a family of bowlers, the subject of this sketch has won several prizes and in due coarse he will doubtless quality for further honours in that direction.  In conclusion it can be said of Mr John Mather that he is proud of his club and his connection with the game, and no doubt his admiration of his fellows is reciprocated in their knowledge of his efforts, and their appreciation of his work on behalf of bowls generally.
He is a genial and kindly young man and we wish him well.

W.C.

NORTH-END RESIDENTS DEATH
General regret has been expressed over the North End of the borough at the death of Mr. Joseph Mather, who passed away at his residence, 282 St. Anne Street, on Friday last, at the ripe old age of 79 years.  Mr. Mather was an old member of the Iron Founders’ Society, and in 1915 celebrated his golden wedding.
As a member of the North End Liberal Club he took an active part in that organisation, and he held the office of vice-president for several years.  Indeed, he was an ardent Radical, whilst he claimed 63 years of continuous membership as an Oddfelow.  In sporting circles, Mr Mather was a keen supporter of Birkenhead Park Rugby football, and he was a bowler of considerable merit.  The late Mr. Mather’s son, Mr. John Mather, will be recognised as a prominent member of the Birkenhead and Wirral Bowling Association.
The funeral took place on Tuesday at Flaybrick-hill Cemetery on Tuesday, there being a large number of relatives and friends present.  Prior to the interment a service was held at Laird-street Baptist Church, the Rev. Mr. Evans and Mr. J Holland (nephew of the deceased) conducting the service both at the church and graveside.  The chief mourners present where Mrs. Mather (widow), John and Richard (sons), Mrs. Hopwood, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Nugent, and Miss Mather (daughters), Mr John Mather (brother), Mr. E Hopwood, Mr. J Robinson, Mr. J Nugent (sons-in-law), Mrs. John Mather, Mrs. Richard Mather (sisters-in-law), Hilda and Tom Robinson, Edie and Flo Hopwood, Joe, Albert, Jack, and Nellie Mather, Willie and Marge Nugent (grand-children), Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Blair, Mrs J S Jones, Mr. T Horsfall.  The four bearers – Messrs. H Oxley, A Kendrick, W Roberts, and F Monks – were old workmates of deceased and also represented the Ironfounders Society.  Among the many general mourners were Alderman A Godwin, Messers G P Snape, J.P.  W Malley, J Johnson, J R Lownes, G White, W Skyrme (representing the North End Liberal Club), Mr. and Mrs. D Evans, Mr. E H Smith, Mr. W Johnson, Mr F Faragher, Mr. and Mrs. Woodhouse, Mr Nelson and daughters Mrs. G Molley, Mrs. J Molley, Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Dickenson, Mrs. B James etc.  Many beautiful floral tributes were sent.
