Warmington:

Much sympathy is felt in this village and district for Mr John Smith, whose wife died on Friday aged sixty-two, and was interred on Monday at the Warmington Parish Churchyard at the special request of the deceased. The funeral was simple and impressive and was conducted jointly by the Rector, the Rev. R P Willock, and the Rev. G R Forde, Wesleyan minister Banbury. In officiating at the grave, the latter expressed his very sincere appreciation of the Rector’s Christian spirit in the mutual arrangements made, and for his many acts of kindness shown to Mrs Smith during her prolonged illness.
