MOURNED BY MANY

FUNERAL OF MR JACK WYATT'

The funeral took place at Paulton, on Tuesday afternoon, of Mr. Jack Wyatt, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wyatt, of the Lamb Hotel, Paulton, to whom the deepest sympathy is being extended on sides.

The deceased had been a sufferor for some time from a painful malady, which he bore with his characteristic spirit of cheerfulness and fortitude until the end, which came at his home on Saturday, at the comparatively early age of 33 years.

Of a most amiable and kindly disposition, he was held in high regard and affection by a wide circle of friends, not only in Paulton, but throughout the district. For a number of years he had been intimately associated with and a great supporter of Paulton Rovers A.F.C., and other sports organisations of the village, to which he was a generous subscriber, and it could be said of him that he never refused to respond to any appeal made on behalf of any good and worthy cause affecting the interests and welfare of the parishioners of Paulton.

Buffs' Officer.

He was also a loyal member of the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes, particularly as an officer of the Lodge formerly held for some years at the Lamb Hotel, Paulton, and moreover it could truthfully be said of him that he carried out the spirit and principles of the movement in his daily life. He was also actively connected with the local A.R.P. services.

In his earlier life he was a scholar of the Sunday schools at the Baptist Church. Paulton, where the service was held on Tuesday afternoon, followed by the interment in Paulton cemetery. At the service deceased's favourite hymn, "Ninety and Nine," was sung, and the Rev. W. G. E. Thorne (Baptist pastor), of Paulton, officiated throughout.
