159 An illness ascribed to infirmities of age brought about the death at 11 p.lm. Saturday in St. Joseph's Hospital of George W. McFetridge, a lifelong resident of Alton who passed his eighty-first birthday last March 10. he had been moved Saturday afternoon to the hospital from his home at 1824 Milnor avenue where he was taken ill Friday.

A year ago, Mr. McFetridge had passed through grave illness, and although able to be up and about his home since that time, he had gone about the city little because of failing eyesight. Cataracts had begun to develop about the time of his illness last spring, and on account of his age surgical attention for the eye condition had been found inadvisable.

McFetridge was a son of James McFetridge, Sr. and Anna Ray, one of the early-day residents of Alton, born March 10, 1862. He was an old-time employe of Illinois glass Co., taking his first job with that company in his youth when the glass works was located on Belle street. Later he long was employed in its clay department making furnace blocks. About 1903 he was transferred by the company to its plant in San Francisco, but after a few years on the coast returned to Alton. Subsequently he was employed at the Standard Oil Co. refinery in Wood River, and under the administration of Mayor Crawford served as a policeman.

Although retired for a number of years past, he assisted at rush times in the grocery store of his son, George r. McFetridge at Ninth and Henry streets. His lodge connection was with Robin Hood Camp of Modern Woodmen of which he was, in age, the fourth oldest member. he affiliated with the camp in 1910.

McFetridge was united in marriage in early life with Miss Louise Barth of this city whose death occurred in 1928. Surviving are a daughter, Miss Eunice McFetridge, and two sons, George R. of this city and James McFetridge of San Francisco.

Funeral rites will be conducted Wednesday at 2 p.m. at Streeper funeral Home. Burial will be in the family lot in City cemetery. The body is at the funeral home.

168 Architect, Medical Pioneer.
He is considered the foremost American landscape artist of the 19th Century, and was largely responsible for the creation and present formation of New York City, New York's Central Park, of which he was Superintendent and chief architect. His landscape architectural work included Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Riverside Park in Manhattan, Chicago's South Side Park, and the grounds of the United States Capitol building. In 1892 he took over the project of laying out the grounds of the 1893 World Fair in Chicago when its first architect died. Olmstead completed the grounds in time for the Fair, which is now known as Jackson Park. During the Civil War, he resigned his post of Central Park superintendent to accept the post of Secretary General of the United States Sanitary Commission. In that capacity, he helped facilitate the Commission's work, which involved the distribution of tons of food and medical supplies to wounded soldiers and war refugees, evacuating wounded from battle areas, inspecting and maintaining standards in military hospitals, stocking and supplying hospital kitchens, and recruiting and maintaining thousands of nurses. The work he and the many workers under him saved thousands of soldiers' lives. He headed the Commission until 1863, when the exertions of his service caused him ill health, and he was forced to resign. Despite all his architectural accomplishments, Frederick Law Olmstead considered his Sanitary Commission position work the most important work of his life.

185 Arthur Basil Cottle, grammarian, historian, archaeologist, antiquarian: born Cardiff 17 March 1917; Assistant Lecturer in English, Lecturer, Bristol University 1946-62, Senior Lecturer 1962-76, Reader in Medieval Studies 1976-81; died Bristol 13 May 1994.
WORDS were the key to AB Cottle's character. He had a remarkable feeling for, and an ability to communicate, the sheer intoxication of using words well. Among his many publications, his Dictionary of Surnames (1967) for Penguin, his Triumph of English (1969) and his Names (1983) became best-sellers. In the United States, where there is a fondness for creating lists of greatest-ever people, and where Cottle's works are on the reading lists of many universities, his Plight of English (1975) and The Language of Literature: English grammar in action (1985) led one literary magazine to place him among the leading writers on the English language.
But Basil Cottle's tastes and scholarship were not confined to English. He maintained a childhood interest in archaeology and became President of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. He lectured vividly on the monuments of Early Christian Ireland. He had three times visited Ireland to gather material for these lectures and had never experienced rain there, a circumstance he attributed to having been born on St Patrick's Day.
His first contribution to scholarship was an Albanian Grammar compiled when he was part of the Enigma team reading German cypher traffic at Bletchley Park, in Oxfordshire, during the Second World War. The route that led him to Bletchley was circuitous. He had begun his war as a private in the unglamorous ranks of the Pioneer Corps. Although he was subsequently transferred to the Education Corps, where he rose to be a Sergeant-Major, there was apparently an unwritten rule that no ex-private of Pioneers could be commissioned. When Cottle was summoned before an Army Board to see if he were officer material he was asked how a man of his talent and ability had wound up in the Pioneers. Cottle regarded the Board solemnly. 'I had influence,' he said. Wit outweighed prejudice. He was duly commissioned.
He might well have remained a Foreign Office expert on Albania had it not been that, in 1946, DG James, his old mentor at Cardiff University (where he had taken a double first), invited to him to Bristol as a lecturer in English. Despite having to take a large drop in salary, Cottle accepted.
At Bristol his foreign students begged him to 'say us jokes'. He did say them jokes. It was an effective way of teaching English and Cottle was never a man to miss using humour effectively. He became renowned at Bristol for his humorous doodles and rhyming musings, notably his annual pantomimes which were remarkable for their lack of plot or incident. The words and the verbal jokes were everything.
Two small examples give a flavour of the kind of thing he readily produced, especially when challenged to rhyme unusual words:
All that I feel, deep in my heart,
Faced with contemporary art,
Is anger, puzzlement and worry,
That I and it are contemporary.
and
There was a young lady of Yiewsley.
She inspected the paintings of Fuseli,
The subsequent night
Was all nausea and fright
And she woke up refusing her muesli.
Cottle wore his scholarship lightly and he was never enough of a university politician to become a professor. Yet his friends and pupils combined to produce a Festschrift of notable and important scholarship to mark his 70th birthday, a tribute to his ability to enthuse and inspire others.

Cottle had his own particular slant to everything. He was a good Churchman but he delighted in the fact that he was churchwarden of a church in Bristol that had disappeared in the 18th century. He continued in his retirement to be a useful source of advice on obscure medieval manuscripts, on King Arthur, on archaeology, on 19th- century poetesses in Accrington, in Lancashire, on the cult of the saints, and on church architecture. All were addressed with equal facility and depth of knowledge. He had recently completed a study of all 150 French cathedrals, which awaits publication.

His generosity of spirit made him much loved, even by strangers. When he was working on his French cathedrals he found himself in church in the outskirts of Paris. When the sign of peace was offered, there was a discontinuity between the French at the front of the church and the Vietnamese immigrants at the rear. Basil shared the peace with the Vietnamese. They brought their babies to him for a blessing, which he happily offered with style, appropriate words, a properly devoted spirit, and a smile. That is how he was: not quite with the establishment but doing good, and doing it well, and making people feel enriched that they had met him.

187 Arthur Joseph, born in Midsomer Norton in 1870, was the son of Thomas Colborne, also a builder and timber merchant who by 1873 was established at the Cross Roads, Stratton St. Margaret.

From 1876-1940 the Colborne family built a staggering number of properties in Swindon. The father and son firm built houses in a street off County Road close to their business premises which was later named after them, although the spelling has since been changed to Colbourne. Despite being on the verge of bankruptcy in 1911-13 A.J. Colborne continued in business until the late 1930s.

The Ordnance Survey Map dated 1889 shows Westcott Street School surrounded by fields, however by 1900 the whole length of Birch Street was built up.

The Bishop and Pritchett sale included eight lots in Birch Street although whether Colborne built these remains unknown. Lots 1-3 comprised nine, two bedroomed houses and lots 6, 7, and 8 a total of 10 houses, numbers 56-65 Birch Street.

Lot 4 was a shop and dwelling house at 10 Birch Street let at 8s a week (40p about ?31 today). The property included a double fronted window, open space for standing goods and a paved yard with side entrance and garden. The living accommodation consisted of a "Sitting Room, 3 Bedrooms, Good Living Room, Wash house and pantry."

The Swindon Advertiser reported that Levi Lapper Morse bought two lots, 13 Gloucester Street and 7 Weymouth Street for ?380 (about ?29,500 at today's values).

The only other lot to change hands was Lot 5, numbers 25-27 Birch Street. Mr. A. Mold paid ?525 (over ?40,700 today) for the three houses described as containing a "Lobby, Passage, Parlour, 3 Bedrooms, Living Room and Back Kitchen with Coal House and WC. The properties had gardens with rear access and 'forecourts with palisading.'

Despite the pre sale hype and 'a good company present' on the day, the sale proved disappointing - the powers of advertising not quite what they are today!

192 At her home in Des Moines, Iowa, Tuesday, occurred the death of Mrs. A. L. Richards after a brief attack of Pertontis. Her mother, Mrs. Mary Harriet (Lasbury) Rodway received word Monday that she was dangerously ill, and left for that place Monday evening, but her daughter had passed before her arrival. The remains were brought here Tuesday evening for burial, accompanied by the husband and children.

Mrs. Richards was born in Griggsville twenty-five years age and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Knibb Rodway. She resided here until seven years ago when she was united in marriage to A. L. Richards and went to Iowa to live. To this union were born three children, two sons, now aged six and four years, and a baby daughter now six months old. Besides the husband and children she leaves her mother, three sisters, Mrs. W. E. Doane and Miss Margaret of Griggsville, and Miss Lizzie of Peoria, and many other relatives and friends to mourn her sad and untimely death.

Funeral services will be held this Friday afternoon at two o'clock at the family residence in the west part of this city, conducted by Rev. W. E. Griffeth, pastor of the Congregational church, and the remains will be laid to rest beside those of her father in the family lot at the city cemetery.

193 At one time, he kept the tavern called "The Three Horseshoes" in Hilperton, Wiltshire, England. His father, whose first name is unknown, was a Welshman. He married first, Elizabeth Syms or Symns and had nine children. He married second, Lucy Demery who was about the age of one of his daughters and the marriage produced much resentment. They had no children. Morgan, Samuel (I1170)
 
194 At the Petty Sessions Elizabeth Authorina Chard of Church Square, Midsomer Norton applied for a separation order against her husband Arthur Thomas Chard quarryman of Moon's Hill, Gurney Slade on the grounds of persistent cruelty. They married 1 May 1900 and there were 5 children. At that time her husband was a farmer with 18 cows and 70 acres of land, under his father.

The Complainant alleged that owing to drink he neglected his business and as a result was now a quarryman. Whilst under the influence of drink he had kicked her and neglected her and the children. On 2nd April she left home because she was in danger of her life. On March 30th he threatened to commit a "good murder" between Gurney Slade and Old Down before the morning and between 12 and 1 o clock he beat her. On the following day she asked him what he meant by his remarks and he threatened to "spade her into pieces with a spade". He told her to leave him and he would allow her 25s a week to keep away. On 1st April he came home and found her in the house and told her to go.

In August 1911 her mother took one of the children and the defendant at once stopped some of the money he paid to her for household purposes because there were not so many children to keep. If she earned any money milking he would stop the equivalent out of her weekly allowance. She was afraid to go back to him because he was so cruel to her. Ivan Chard, aged 11, said he had seen his father hit his mother on many occasions. The noise his father made at night had kept them awake. Evelyn Chard, aged 10, corroborated and said she saw her father on one occasion sharpen a bill-hook and he said he would chop their heads off.

The defendant denied he was cruel and said he was a loving and devoted husband. He was willing to take his wife back and keep a happy home.
Defendant alleged that his wife wanted to go to Midsomer Norton to live with her people, and consequently left his home. He described his wife's story as a pure invention.

The Bench granted the separation order and ordered the defendant to contribute 10s a week towards his wife's maintenance. Mrs Chard was given the custody of the children and the defendant was ordered to pay the costs of ?1-13-6d.

198 Awarded the Victoria Cross for most conspicuous bravery near Loos on 8 October 1915. a strong party of the enemy having captured 200 yards of our trenches, L Sgt Brooks on his own initiative led a party of bombers in a most brave manner and succeeded in regaining possession of the lost ground. The signal bravery displayed by this N.C.O. in the midst of a hail of bombs from the Germans was of the first first order and the complete success attained in a very dangerous undertaking was entirely due to his absolute fearlessness presence of mind and promtitude.

London Gazette 26 October 1915

====================================

Oliver Brooks VC (31 May 1889 - 25 October 1940) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Born in Paulton, Somerset, he was 26 years old, and a Lance-Sergeant in the 3rd Battalion, Coldstream Guards, British Army during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

On 8 October 1915 near Loos, France, Lance-Sergeant Brooks led a counterattack comprising a party of 'bombers' (Grenade armed soldiers - especially trained and skilled in their use) against German Infantry who had recently captured 200 yards of British trenches. They ejected the enemy so regaining of this lost ground; this was entirely due to the bravery and presence of mind of this NCO who accomplished his task in the midst of a hail of grenade and small arms fire from the enemy.

He later achieved the rank of sergeant. His Victoria Cross is displayed at The Guards Regimental Headquarters (Grenadier Guards RHQ), Wellington Barracks, London. The attached account of his actions was written by James Price Lloyd of the Welsh Regiment, who served with Military Intelligence. After the war, the government to destroyed all the archives relating to this propaganda (section MI 7b (1)). They were regarded as being too sensitive to risk being made public.

Remarkably these documents have survived in the personal records of Captain Lloyd. Many of these papers are officially stamped, and one can trace the development of many individual articles from the notes based on an idea, to the pencil draft which is then followed by the hand-written submission and the typescript.

The archive "Tales of the VC" comprises 94 individual accounts of the heroism that earned the highest award for valour, the Victoria Cross. These are recounted deferentially and economically, yet they still manage to move the reader. Date stamp: 18 February 1918.
