THE LATE MR. HUGH PUGH, J. P., CARNARVON

We chronicle this week the death of Mr. Hugh Pugh, J.P., of Llysmeirion, Carnarvon, which took place on Monday evening last, after an illness which, extending over a period of many months, was borne with never failing patience and Christian fortitude. Few men were so well known in Carnarvonshire and Anglesey as Mr. Pugh, and fewer still retained for so long a period the respect and confidence of the great bulk of the community. Without possessing many of the qualities which are considered essential to success in public life, Mr. Pugh occupied for many years a leading position in nearly all political and social movements in this part of North Wales. Without any pretensions to high culture or impressive eloquence, he was yet recognised as a leader of men by reason of those qualities of earnestness, conscientiousness, and thorough devotion to duty which contributed so largely to his worth and success in the private walks of his very useful and active life.

That life was begun at Dolgelley, where Mr. Pugh was born in the year 1814. His education was that of the well-to-do middle class of those days, which is another way of saying that for the development of his mental faculties he was to a large extent dependent upon his own exertions. He showed an early bent for commercial pursuits, for which he manifested so singular an aptitude in after years. It is now well-nigh half-a-century since he settled at Pwllheli as manager of the North and South Wales Bank, with which he had been previously connected in his native town, and from that day he was identified closely and actively with the material development of South Carnarvonshire. Welsh banking was then in its infancy, as Welsh capital was almost altogether unknown, but the young Dolgelley Welshman, with a clear head and a resolute will, was not slow to discover and seize opportunities. Thus a few years after settling at Pwllheli he founded a banking-house of his own, on principles eminently adapted to meet the requirements of a community partly agricultural and partly industrial, and the habits of the Welsh people, with whose idiosyncrasies he was so well acquainted. He was one of the first to apply to banking those principles which afterwards proved so conspicuously successful, and so beneficient to the community, in Scotland, and which are only now being introduced into the English banking system. Success could not but crown his efforts, prosecuted as they were with so much energy, intelligence, and perseverance. Not only was he largely instrumental in building up the commercial prosperity of South Carnarvonshire, but he gradually extended the operations of the bank into other districts, so that of late years its branches are established at Carnarvon, Bangor, Llangefni, Amlwch, Festiniog, Llanrwst, Colwyn Bay, Bethesda, Llanberis, and Penrhyndeudraeth. Until his last illness, Mr. Pugh, in conjunction with his partner, Mr. Robert Jones, J.P., Pwllheli, exercised an active supervision over the details of the management, at the same time that he was closely identified with several of the most flourishing shipping and quarrying industries of the district with which he was connected.

The deceased, however, did not confine his energy to the accumulation of wealth, but, on the contrary, deveoped a generous interest in the public movements of his time. A keen and eager politician from his youth, his sturdy independence of character, his faithful adherence to the traditions of his family, and his acute observation of events, combined to form for him a masculine and vigorous political creed, which, in after years, nerved him in many a valiant fight for the rights and liberties of the people. Vigour and even self-sacrifice were inseparable from an attitude of independence in politices in those days. It was so in England, where the gentry were somewhat equally divided in their political shibboleths, and in Wales, where Parliamentary elections were supposed to be the business of a few Tory families in each county, the Nonconformist was only permitted to express his views on the political questions of the day with bated breath and whispering humbleness. Nowhere was the dominion of the Tory squirearchy more absolute than in Merionethshire, and it was to storm this citadel that Mr. Pugh, then a young man in the prime of his powers, applied himself with characteristic pluck and energy, which were ultimately rewarded by the triumphant return of a Liberal member in the person of the late Mr. David Williams, Deudraeth Castle. But some years previous to that Waterloo of Welsh Liberalism which was won in Merionethshire, he had taken an active part in promoting the candidature of Mr. Richard Davies, in 1852, against Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, who at that time was the Tory member for the Carnarvonshire Boroughs. He will be chiefly remembered, however, as the political sponsor of Sir Love Jones-Parry, when the latter stormed the Tory stronghold in Carnarvonshire in 1868, and defeated the present Lord Penrhyn, who as Mr. Pennant had held the seat as a sort of feudal appendage of Penrhyn Castle. Mr. Pugh's services before and during that campaign, it may be safely be averred, gave life and form for the first time to the Liberal party in this county, and his unswerving faith, in the face of the tremendous odds, his indomitable energy, and his sagacious counsel, clearly marked him out as a leader in a campaign as hazardous as it was in the result glorious. He naturally became the first president of the County Liberal Association, and if he had been anxious to press personal claims he might undoubtedly have enjoyed Parliamentary honours, as a reward for services which, performed without ostentation and at a considerable sacrifice of time and money, proved of inestimable value to the popular cause. But on several occasions, when his friends were anxious to confer upon him this signal mark of their confidence, he insisted upon sacrificing personal claims to considerations of party loyalty, and by this self-abnegation more than once saved the Liberal cause from disaster. An organiser rather than a speaker, his public utterances were, nevertheless, not ineffective, marked as they were by directness, earnestness, and sound sense, and many will remember with pleasure the excellent speech which he delivered from the chair at a great meeting at Llandudno, addressed by Mr. John Bright some years ago.

By his marriage, in 1866, with the daughter of the late Sir Hugh Owen, the deceased was brought into close and intimate contact with the great educational movement which has redounded so much to the credit of the Principality during the past quarter of a century. The promoters of various Welsh educational and national movements felt that their claim to his sympathy and support amounted almost to a right. And they were not disappointed in their expectations. An unflinching advocate of unsectarian education, he liberally supported Aberystwyth College, and afterwards the Normal College at Bangor, whilst his services in connection with the North Wales College, his enthusiastic advocacy of the claims of Carnarvon to be the seat of that institution, and his honourable loyalty to the adverse decision of the arbitration in that memorable battle, will still be fresh in the memory of our readers. When the North Wales Scholarship Association, in whose examinations Carnarvon boys have recently gained such distinction, was established about seven years ago, Captain Verney and Mr. Pugh, by their bounty, enabled the committee to initiate their excellent work, Mr. Pugh generously placing a scholarship at the disposal of the Association. For years the deplorable condition of intermediate education in his adopted town caused him grave concern, and if his counsels had been followed, Carnarvon would not have lost the Endowed School for Girls, of which Dolgelley is now able to boast. It was by acclamation that he was appointed to be the first chairman of the Carnarvon School Board.

In municipal, as well as in political and educational matters, Mr. Pugh evinced the same willingness to serve faithfully and unselfishly the interests of his fellow-men. At Pwllheli, he filled the office of mayor for several successive years; he was mayor of Carnarvon in 1877 and 1878; and he was one of the presidents of the National Eisteddfod held in that town in the former year. Although on the commission of the peace for Merionethshire, he had for some years ceased to take an active interest in the affairs of that county, but on the borough bench at Carnarvon he continued up to the period of his illness to exercise his magisterial functions with great judgement and firmness.

In his private life, Mr. Pugh was distinguished by those virtues which woke genuine affection. Strict and inflexible in matters of duty, he was yet of a kind disposition, simple in his tastes, affable, and equable in temper. In his charities, which were numerous though unostentatious, he was truly catholic, and whilst devoted in his attachment to the creed and formularies of the Calvinistic Methodists, of which body he had been for many years a deacon, he was yet liberal and tolerant towards other churches. His familiar figure will be long missed, but now that he has gone his deeds of kindness and charity will be better known than they were in his lifetime, when his left hand knew not the gifts made by right hand.

DEATH AND FUNERAL OF MR. JOHN JONES, ST. HELEN'S-TERRACE, CARNARVON

We regret deeply to report the death on Saturday last of Mr. John Jones, St. Helen's-terrace, Carnarvon, in the advanced age of 84 years. The deceased had long carried on a very prosperous business in the town as a stonemason, and at one time had for a partner one of his sons, Mr. Hugh Jones, the business afterwards developing extensively into that which is now carried on by the firm of Messrs. Hugh Jones and Company, stone and marble masons. We need not add that the deceased was held in high respect in the town and district, and with his death the Welsh Wesleyan body has lost a faithful and generous supporter. Mr. Jones, who was a widower, his wife having died some twelve months ago, leaves two sons and two daughters, viz., Mr. John O. Jones, wine merchant; Mr. Hugh Jones, of the marble works, already mentioned; Mrs. Williams, wife of the Rev. Owen Williams, Welsh Wesleyan minister; and Mrs. Parry Morris - all of Carnarvon. On Wednesday afternoon, the remains of the deceased were interred at Llanbeblig Churchyard, the funeral being semi-public, and the procession an unusually large one. At the deceased's residence before starting, the Rev. R. Lewis, Portdinorwic, conducted a short service, the procession afterwards being formed in the following order:- Minister, deacons, and members of the church, choir, Sunday afternoon class (of which Mr. Jones was the leader), hearse; 1st. carriage, containing Mr. J. O. Jones, Mr. H. Jones, Mrs. O. Williams, Mrs. Parry Morris, children of the deceased; 2nd. carriage, containing the Rev. O. Williams (son-in-law), Mrs. H.

The coffin, of polished oak in brass mountings, was literally covered with most beautiful wreaths, the handiwork of affectionate relatives and admiring friends. The coffin itself was made by Mr. John Lloyd, 5, Pool-hill, and the funeral arrangements were efficiently carried out by Mr. D. Roberts, Waterloo House.

DEATH OF MR. J. WILLIAMS (IOAN MAI), BOOKSELLER, CARNARVON

It is with regret that we have this week to chronicle the death, after a short illness, of Mr. John Williams, bookseller, Bridge-street, Carnarvon, which took place at 5.30 p.m. on Wednesday night. The deceased was in his 65th. year. He started business at Carnarvon about 40 years ago, and was doubtless one of the best known booksellers in North Wales. Among the bardic fraternity he was known as "Ioan Mai," and he wrote several political pieces which are noted for originality of their ideas and the beauty of their language. Indeed, he had a keen appreciation of the beautiful, and was able to compose with equal facility in English and Welsh. Her Majesty the Queen has on more than one occasion graciously accepted copies of some of his English compositions, and several letters received by the departed from the Court testify to the pleasure which those verses gave to her Majesty. He had a wide and extensive knowledge of general literature, and, being regarded as competent authority on all subjects pertaining to Wales and the Welsh, his assistance was often sought by English scholars of note who made those matters subjects of study. As a townsman, his integrity and unassuming character gained for him the esteem of all. He was an able local preacher with the Welsh Wesleyans, and his support to that denomination was very liberal. He leaves a widow, three sons, and two daughters, with whom the sincerest sympathy is felt in their bereavement.

THE FUNERAL

took place on Wednesday last, the mournful procession starting from Menai View at about one o'clock in the followng order:- A large number of the clergy and ministers; the hearse followed by several carriages containing the chief mourners; and a long procession of the general public.

DEATH OF MRS. M. B. FOULKES, CARNARVON

We sincerely regret to record this week the death of Mrs. M. B. Foulkes, of London House, Carnarvon, who, doubtless, was one of the best known drapers of that town. Mrs. Foulkes had been suffering for six months from a complication of diseases, and the news of her death on Sunday last, though not wholly unexpected, was received with much sorrow by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The deceased, who was in her 58th. year, was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Richard Owen, who years ago kept a large drapery establishment on the site now occupied by the Nelson Emporium. Mrs. Foulkes was twice married. Her first husband was the late Mr. Edward Williams, of Shop y Porth, by whom she had one daughter, now the wife of Mr. O. D. Jones, of Bon Marche and Victoria House. Her second husband was the late Mr. Edward Foulkes (Iorweth Glan Peris), who, up to the time of his death, was the proprietor of the Carnarvon Drapery Establishment, a building now occupied by Messrs. Pierce and Williams of the Golden Goat. After his decease, Mrs. Foulkes carried on business at Glasgow House, Eastgate-street, and subsequently at London House, High-street, where, on the marriage of her daughter, she entered into partnership with her son-in-law, Mr. O. D. Jones, draper. The deceased was very highly respected, and much sympathy is felt with Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Jones in their bereavement. The funeral, a private one, took place on Thursday morning last at Llanbeblig, under the new Burial Act. The Rev. Evan Jones officiated at the house and in the graveyard. The body was encased in a shell, and placed in a coffin of polished oak, with massive brass trimmings. Mr. Hugh Williams, Eastgate-street, was the undertaker, and superintended all the arrangements. Churchyard arrangements were satisfactorily carried out by Mr. Robert Williams, Slate and Marble Works, Dinorwic-street.
