Obituary
Mr. H. Hazell.
The members of the Basingstoke Branch deeply regret to announce the death of Br. Henry Hazell, who died on February 14th, 1878, at the age of 53 years, after a painful illness, of heart disease. Our late brother was one of the originators of the branch, and for many years our respected treasurer. He was borne to his grave by his fellow workmen, and followed to his last resting place by members and friends. He was much respected by all who knew him. His end was peace. We also desire to express our sympathy with his widow.

With mingled feelings of pain and pleasure, the Huddersfield Branch records the death of Br.

At last the slender thread of life was snapped by inflammation of the brain. Happily he leaves no wife to mourn his loss, he being unmarried.
