BRIMSCOMBE DEATH OF MR SAMUEL HALLIDAY,—We are sorry to have to record the death of Mr Samuel Halliday, of Wall's Quarry, Brimscombe, who was well known in the neighbourhood and greatly respected. Although Mr Halliday had been ailing for some little time past. his illness was not such as to give cause for alarm, until a few days before his death, when a sudden change took place, and he sank very rapidly. His death, so unexpected, has caused great sorrow amongst his numerous friends and relatives. He was interred in Brimscombe Churchyard on Wednesday. The funeral was largely attended. ^[8]
