Death of Mrs Maria Coxall
We regret to record the death of Mrs Maria Coxall.
The deceased, who was 75 years of age, was quite well in the early days of last week, but after a few days' illness she passed away early on Monday morning last. Her husband died eight years ago.
The deceased leaves a grown-up family of two sons and five daughters, and sympathy is extended to them in their loss.
The funeral takes place at Layston on Saturday afternoon.
Death
We regret to record the death of Miss Alice Clark, of High Street.
The deceased lady, who has been ill for some considerable time, formerly lived at Guildford, but owing to her severe illness came to stay with her sister, Mrs H. Feasey, who has given her every possible attention during her long illness, which was borne with much patience and fortitude throughout.
The deceased, who was 53 years of age, passed away on Sunday, and the funeral took place quietly at Layston on Wednesday, the service being conducted by the Vicar, the Rev. A. Howard.
Buckland
Women's Institute
On Wednesday, April 6th, the monthly meeting was held in the School at 6.30 p.m. This was arranged and very successfully carried through by members, the 1927 committee having a complete rest.
Mrs S. Pigg took the chair as President, Mrs F. Pigg was Vice-President, Mrs T. Pigg Secretary, and with the help of other members they are to be congratulated on such a successful and happy meeting.
Rather a lengthy business programme was gone through, and then Mrs Whiteside, of Barkway, gave a very interesting demonstration on sealing wax work.
The vote of thanks passed to this lady was very heartily carried.
Tea was a very pleasant time. The refreshments had been given by members, and thus the three-pences charged were clear profit, and these, with the pennies taken from those who would neither sing nor say, amounted to 15/9, which went to the Outing Fund.
Much fun was derived from the "Roll Call," as also from a play by four members, Mrs Young, Mrs Jarman, Mrs Tott and Miss M. Gilby, entitled "The Jumble Sale." It was well acted, and it is to be hoped will spur members on to thus entertain each other.
After a set of Musical Chairs, and Miss N. Pigg's congratulations on this well arranged meeting, the singing of God save the King brought another pleasent time to a close.
Football
Roydon v. Aspenden
Visiting Roydon on Saturday last, Aspenden were successful by six goals to two. Aspenden adapted themselves to the flooded condition of the ground, and were much surer and swifter in their movements.
Both backs played a sound game throughout. Roydon, with close passing, attacked for the first ten minutes, but Aspenden were the first to score through G. Holmes.
Shortly afterwards the home right right wing got through to score with a cross shot. Aspenden took the lead again before the interval, S. Dowler scoring.
In the second half, Aspenden maintained their superiority, and J. Holmes quickly scored, and H. Parker added another.
Roydon then scored from a long shot, the greasy ball slipping by the goalkeeper's fingers. Towards the end T. Moule dashed in from the right wing and scored, and J. Holmes dribbled through and scored from close range.
