county and diocese. It was to education that he specially devoted 

 his energies. He was a member of the old Technical Education Com- 

 mittee and was co-opted a member of tlie County Education Committee 

 on the passing of the Act of 1902. As chairman of the Teaching Staff 

 Sub-committee, he took a very prominent place in all matters con- 

 nected with education. He was also a member of the Trowbridge 

 Education Committee, and was one of the examiners for the Oxford 

 and Cambridge Joint Board. A vigorous fighter, a man of great 

 individuality of character, of singular capacity for business, and an un- 

 bounded power of work, he threw himself heart and soul into whatever 

 he undertook. He won the warm esteem and respect of everybody in 

 Trowbridge — Nonconformists and Church people alike — as the great 

 concourse of all conditions of men at his funeral testified. His loss will 

 be severely felt in many ways in the county at large as well as in Trow- 

 bridge itself.
