Deaths of Clergymen. – The Rev. Wm. Hinton Drake, rector of Bridestow-with-Sourton, died on Dec. 15th from the effects of an illness with which he was seized on the previous Tuesday.  He was born at Axminster in 1820, and was the eldest son of Mr H. E. Drake.  He was ordained in 1845 by Bishop Phillpotts, his first curacy being that of Towednack Lelant.  In 1846 he was appointed to St. John’s, Halestown, near St. Ives, a parish which he was instrumental in creating, and of which he was the first incumbent.  He was in 1873 presented by the Crown to the vicarage of Terrington St. Clement’s, near King’s Lynn, and again, in 1876 to the vicarage of Twigworth, near Gloucester.  From thence he went the next year, by exchange with the Rev. H. S. Slight, to the rectory of Ruan Lanihorne and in March, 1882, removed to Bridestow.  He was apersonal friend of the late Proessor Maurice, and was an earnest Liberal in politics.

SUDDEN DEATH. – Last week, a poor old man called John Jose, died under melancholy circumstances at Ruan Lanyhorne, Cornwall.  He was 85 years of age, and too infirm to be removed to the work-house; and he received some trifling allowance from the Union, as an out-pauper.  But this was insufficient to enable him to pay any person for that care and attendance which his great age and his feeble condition rendered necessary; and he was found dead in his bed. –The Correspondent who sends us this, says that a short time since, a poor woman called Bawden, died in a similar manner, having just before lost her husband, who had perished from the utter insufficiency of the Union allowance.  They had, it seems, refused to go into the workhouse, because they could not submit to be separated.

FELL FROM HER CHAIR

Ruanlanihorne Woman’s Sudden End.

After attending chapel at Ruanlanihorne, on Sunday evening, Mrs. Evelyn PEDLAR, aged 63, wife of Mr. Jonathon Stephens PEDLAR, of Ruanlanihorne, expired suddenly on returning home.  At an inquest on Tuesday, the husband stated he was sitting in front of the fire with his wife when she suddenly fell from her chair dead.  For some time deceased had complained of flatulence, but apart from that she seemed to be enjoying fairly good health.  Dr. Scott, who examined the body soon after death took place, was of opinion that Mrs. Pedlar died from syncope, following a distended stomach acting on a weak heart.

Death of Mr. J. Franklen Thomas-PETER,

Of Treviles, Ruanlanihorne.

News of the decease of Mr. J. Franklen Thomas-Peter has been received with much regret at Redruth, where in his childhood Mr. Thomas Peter lived lived with his parents, Mr. And Mrs. J. L. Peter, his father at that time occupying the position of County Court registrar, clerk of the Redruth Union. &c.  When his father, about two years ago, on the death of his older brother, the Rev. Lewis Peter, J.P., came into the important property of Treviles and other estates in Ruanlanihorne, by his express wish Mr. J. Thomas-Peter, with his wife and family, came into the district and settled down at Treviles House with every prospect of a long and happy future, he being after his father the future owner, and naturally personally interested in his surroundings.

At a comparatively early stage of his illness, he was advised to take up his residence in London for special treatment; but no one at that time anticipated fatal results; and although of late his near relatives have had to face the fact of greatly increased weakness, which led them to fear the worst, the news of his death came with a shock on outside friends unacquainted with details.

Mr. J. Franklen Thomas-Peter leaves a widow and six children.  The funeral took place at Ruanlanihorne.  Much sympathy is expressed with his widow and family, his father (Mr John Luke Peter), and mother, now resident at Pendower (Philleigh), Miss Peter, Rev. Lewis Peter, and Mr. Thurstan C. Peter, sister and brothers.

Besides being heir of Treviles, Mr. Franklen Thomas-Peter was prospective successor to another large property in Cornwall – the Chyverton property, through the will of the late Mr. John Thomas Henry Peter, of Chyverton.  On both paternal and maternal sides he was closely connected with old Cornish families.  Deceased, who was a justice of the peace for Cornwall, was born at Redruth forty-six years ago, was educated at Sherborne School, Dorset, and St. John’s College, Cambridge.  He was afterwards called to the Bar, but rarely practised.  Some twenty years ago, on the death of his kinsman, Mr. John Thomas Henry Peter, of Chyverton, he assumed the surname of Thomas in addition to his own, in accordance with a request in that gentleman’s will.  He shortly afterwards married Mary, daughter of the late Mr. George R. Oxenham, a barrister residing at Kensington.  About a year and half ago he came to reside at Treviles, on the death of his uncle, the Rev. Lewis Morgan Peter.

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF MR. J. L. PETER, OF TREVILES.  Mr. John Luke Peter, of Treviles,  Ruanlanihorne, is so seriosly ill that there is little hope of his recovery.  Mr. Peter, who succeeded his brother, Rev. Lewis Peter, as owner of the beautiful estate of Treviles, and considerable other property, has only about three or four years resided at Treviles, preferring that his eldest son, Mr. Franklin Thomas Peter, and his family should live there.  On the early death of his son, he, however, came into residence and has taken much pleasure in effecting many improvements on the property.  Earlier in life Mr. J. L. Peter for many years lived at Redruth, where, as registrar of the County Court, solicitor and holder of important offices, he was well-known and esteemed.  In connection with Church and Cathedral work and in other

 useful projects, Mr. Peter is father of Mr. Thurstan C. Peter, of Redruth, and of the Rev. Lewis Peter.

29^th November 1900     Cornishman

The late Mr. John Luke PETER, of Treviles.

We have already referred to this regretted death, but may add that, at 80, in the last year of his life, he celebrated his golden wedding and Mr. And Mrs. Peter entertained sons and grandsons and relatives at Treviles on that occasion, May 15^th the date.

In his early days Mr. Peter lived much in Redruth, but afterwards, on the death of his eldest brother, the Rev. Lewis F. Peter, he went to live at Treviles, and took much interest in the improvement of the property, which now passes to his grandson.  As registrar of the county-court he displayed firmness and consideration.

For many years he was also the esteemed clerk to the board-of-guardians.  There are now only one or two members on the board who were so at that time, but their testimony is to the effect that he was an officer in whom implicit confidence could be placed and who endeavoured faithfully to discharge the onerous duties attaching to the position.

In this he was successful, and the board, on Friday, passed a vote of condolence with their present clerk, the son of their former clerk, at the same time testifying to the esteem and respect in which the late Mr. Peter was held by them.

Mr. J. L. Peter had also a large practice as a solicitor and the interests of his clients were always guarded with watchfulness and care.  In the midst of these many offices Mr. Peter did not forget to take a practical interest in the mining industry and for many years he was one of its most useful and influential friends.  He bought shares freely; and, when times of depression came and the miners were out of work and their families starving, he took an active part in devising how best to obtain work and food for these men.

It was only natural, coming as he did from a family noted for their adherence to the Church-of-England, that he should be a faithful adherent of that Church and that its welfare should ever be an object of supreme importance to him.  When the project of building the cathedral at Truro was started he was one of its moving spirits and threw his whole heart into the work.

His death removes one of the links of the present age with a past one.  Mr. Peter, was ever kind and considerate, and many are the acts of kindness which are at the present day recalled of the departed gentleman.

The funeral took place at Ruan on Friday and was largely attended.

22^nd May 1902     Cornishman

The late Mrs. J. L. PETER, of Treviles.

The funeral of Mrs. J. L. Peter, of Treviles, who died at the residence of her youngest son, Mr. Thurstan C. Peter, of Trewirgie, Redruth, took place at Treleigh church on Friday.  Early in their married life Mr. And Mrs. J. L. Peter lived at Redruth, and their home at Trengweath was a chief centre of church work. The restoration of the parish church was theirs, thought-out and planned; Mr. and Mrs. Peter liberally subscribing and inducing others to contribute.  On their removal from Redruth to Crellow, in St. Stythians parish, they engaged heartily in assisting in the work of restoring that ancient and interesting church.

When the Bishop (Dr. Wilkinson) called on the women of Cornwall to raise funds for the internal fittings of Truro Cathedral, Mrs. Peter was one of the first to respond, accepting the post of president for the Carnmarth deanery, organising meetings and committees in every parish, the deanery raising over £1,000 for the fund.

When resident at Pendower and Treviles, Mrs. Peter’s work continued, and her departure from connection with Veryan church at the time of Mr. J. L. Peter’s death, about 18 months ago, was much deplored.

Mrs. Peter in former years was an ideal district visitor, winning the confidence of her poorer neighbours and setting them at ease.  Her chief complaint when leaving Redruth for the country was that there were few poor to visit.  Gifted with a strong sense of humour, genial, and always approachable, she will be much missed.

Mrs. Peter leaves one daughter, Miss Peter, and two sons, Rev. Lewis Peter, and Mr. Thurstan C. Peter, of Redruth, the eldest son, Mr. Franklen Thomas Peter, having died a few years ago.

The late Mr. And Mrs. J. L. Peter celebrated their golden wedding at Treviles about two years ago with children, grandchildren, and other friends, and received valuable gifts.  Mrs. Peter died after a very short illness.

The coffin was covered with wreaths of choice ferns and flowers, Rev. C. Kempe. Vicar of Veryan, an old friend of Mrs. Peter, officiated, assisted by the new vicar, of Treleigh, Rev. T. Mugford.  In addition to members of the family and near relatives, numerous friends from Redruth and other parts of Cornwall attended.

IN LOVING MEMORY of LOUIE, beloved daughter of Louisa Roberts, of Fore-street, St. Just, who passed away at Ruan High Lanes, Grampound Road, after a short illness on April 8, 1911, in her 27th year.

Just two years ago to-day,

Our loved one passed away.

Do not ask us if we miss her,

There is still a vacant place;

We shall not forget her footsteps,

Or her happy, smiling face.

Thou art gone, but not forgotten,

Never shall thy memory fade;

Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger,

Round the spot where thou art laid.

And we hope to meet again,

When all our toils are o’er;

And death, and grief, and rain,

And parting are no more.

Sadly missed by her loving mother, and sister Beat.

8th April 1915     Cornishman

In loving memory of LOUIE, beloved daughter of Mrs. L. ROBERTS, of Fore Street, St. Just, who passed away at Ruan High Lanes, Grampound Road, after a short illness, on April 8th, 1911, in her 27th year.

Had we been with her at the last,

And watched her dying breath,

And heard the last sigh of her heart

Or held her drooping head.

Our hearts we think would not have felt

Such bitterness of grief;

But God hath willed it otherwise,

And now she rests in peace.

We mourn for you, dear Louie,

But not with outward show,

For those who mourn sincerely,

Mourn silently and low.

Sadly missed by her loving Mother and Sister Beaty.

We have to announce the death, on Sunday, of Mr. Giles Williams, C.A., of Barn, Ruan, one of the most useful and respected Cornish farmers.  Mr. Giles Williams, his father, and generations of Williams were known to Ruan.  His advice was sought, far and near.  Mr. Giles Williams had been one of the vice-chairmen of the Truro guardians for many years, his council and advice always being much valued.

31^st August 1893      Royal Cornwall Gazette

DEATH OF MR. GILES WILLIAMS – Mr. Giles Williams, of Barn, Ruanlanihorne, Alderman of the County Council, and vice-chairman of the Truro Board of Guardians, died on Sunday, after a comparatively brief illness.  He attended the opening ceremonies in connection with the recent Fisheries Exhibition, but has for some time been ailing, suffering from a disordered liver.  He was sixty three years of age.  The esteem in  which Mr. Williams was held, was shown by his selection as Alderman of the County Council for six years at nearly the top of the poll.  He possessed the entire confidence of the Truro Board of Guardians, of which he was vice chairman for many years, his voice and vote being always in the interest of the poor.  He took great interest in the supply of literature to the inmates.  But he was nowhere more esteemed than at Ruan, where he had lived all his life.  He was a Wesleyan local preacher, and on Sunday afternoons sacrificed his own ease and walked nearly two miles to conduct a Bible class of about thirty of the young people of the neighbourhood.  The Wesleyan Chapel (one of the prettiest in the county), with school, caretaker’s house, stables, etc, is a monument of his liberality and devotion to Methodism.  He was on the most friendly terms with other churches, successive rectors of the parish regarding him as one of their most valued friends.  The writer has known him intimately for thirty years, and can truly say a more unselfish and kinder man he never met.

Mr. Justice Pilcher in the Divorce Court yesterday granted a decree nisi to Robert Morris LANGFORD, farmer, of Trelonk, Ruanlanihorne, Truro, on the grounds of desertion by his wife, Joan Margaret, and her misconduct with the co-respondent, Lewis Hawksley LUKEY.  There was no defence.  Mr. and Mrs. Langford were married at Truro Register Office in 1935, and there are two children.  The husband’s case was that the marriage became unhappy in 1937 through his wife having begun to drink rather heavily.  She associated with the co-respondent, a business acquaintance of his, and in March, 1939, she left petitioner and

afterwards lived with co-respondent.
