Much sympathy and kindness have been shown to the family of the late Mrs Banbrook, who passed away suddenly. Mrs Banbrook was the widow of Mr John Banbrook who died six years ago.

Deceased was highly respected, and beloved by all who knew her.
The funeral service was taken by the Rector, the Rev R H Moyses. During the first part in the church, the hymn ‘Abide with me’ was sung, and, as the funeral procession wended its way to the graveside, the organist, Mrs Mancy, played ‘O Rest in the Lord’. The coffin of unpolished oak inscribed ‘Elizabeth Banbrook, aged 82 years’, was lowered into its last resting place by the side of her late husband, by Messrs J Beer, F Wise, J Rooks, H Busby, A Gilbert and H Beer.
The chief mourners were Mrs Tremlett, Miss Banbrook and Miss G L Banbrook, and Miss Marion Banbrook. Deceased’s eldest son, Mr J E Banbrook, residing in America, was unable to be present.
Beautiful floral tributes were sent by ‘Her sorrowing children’, Mrs M Banbrook, Cissy and John, Girlie and Fred Swinton, Mrs Mancy and the children of Weare Gifford School, Mrs Bushby and family, Betty, Mr and Mrs A Gilbert and Florrie.
