Annual Report of the Council. 219 



office of churchwarden in the old church of St. Mary's, 

 Parsonage, before the parish was merged in St. Anne's ; 

 and was a constant and liberal friend of all church work. 

 He took a useful part in every public effort for the improve- 

 ment and social progress of the village — Urmston — and 

 district where he resided. A man of singular modesty, he 

 was quietly but unswervingly loyal to the many organisa- 

 tions with which he was associated. Ever ready to assist 

 in any enterprise for the diffusion of knowlege or the 

 encouragement of healthy recreation, few men of such 

 retiring habits have been so well-known to their neighbours. 

 He died at Llandudno on October 21st, 1893, and the 

 esteem in which he was held was abundantly manifested at 

 the grave-side. He was elected a member of the Society 

 in 1885. F. J. F.
