He used to live at Regent House, Burton Latimer, where he carried on business as a carter and coal merchant. He then became a bus proprietor and ran ten coaches until 1938, managing his smallholding as well in the latter years. He leaves a widow, Mrs Hannah Meadows, and four children, two daughters and two sons. One of his daughters Mrs Janet Camper, whose home is now in America visited Barton Seagrave last year on a three months’ holiday, returning in September. Interment in the churchyard follows the service at St Botolph’s Church, Barton Seagrave. |
