14th May 1926 - Funeral of Mrs J. Matthews
Rushden
Funeral of Mrs J. Matthews
On Tuesday afternoon, the moral remains of Mrs J. Matthews, widow of the late Rev. J. Matthews, were laid to rest in a corner of the little Churchyard.
Many old residents of the village were present to pay their last respects to one whose long life was given to the Kingdom of God. The Rev. Matthews was for 47 years vicar of Rushden, and since his death, his widow has resided at Felixstowe, where she passed away last week at the advanced ago of 80 years.
The remains were brought by road and were carried in to the Church by village men, most of whom had been members of the choir under deceased. The Vicar and the Rev. A. Howard, of Layston, conducted the service, which was fully choral, and quite in keeping with such an one as deceased.
There was a large number present at the Church, including the parishioners to do honour to her memory. Beside the immediate mourners we noticed: Dr and Mrs Fell, Mrs A. Dixon, Miss Woods, Mrs B. Cannon, Mrs Dudley, sen., Mrs H.E. Dudley, Mrs W. Sale, Mrs Tweed, Mrs Beadle, Mr and Mrs F.B. Cannon, Mr B. Cannon, Mrs Newland, Mrs P. Castle, Miss Field, and many others.
There was a large number of floral tributes, including a beautiful wreath from the old parishioners.
26th Nov 1926 - Buntingford Branch of the Mothers' Union
Buntingford Branch of the Mothers' Union
A largely attended meeting was held in the George Assembly Room on Wednesday at 6.30, which was addressed by Mrs Parkin, Central Organising Worker from the Mary Sumner House, who is visiting the Branches of the Deanery during this week.
After a hymn, Mrs Dixon (Hon. Sec.), opened the meeting with prayer, and introduced Mrs Parkin, who spoke with much power on the ideal of a Christian home which underlay the first starting of the Mothers' Union by Mary Sumner 50 years ago, and which is, or ought to be, still the aim of every member.
She emphasized each of the three objects: the sanctity of marriage, the responsibility to God for children, and the fellowship in Prayer. She also urged upon members the duty of service, either as members of a Branch Committee, or by living consistent lives.
Mrs Howard (Enrolling Member) expressed her thanks of the meeting to Mrs Parkin for her helpful address, and announced that at the January meeting it was proposed to form a Committee of Communicant members, who would greatly assist the work of the Branch.
