Mr. Charles Poole was born on the 14th. February, 1837, and was the third son of the late Richard Anthony Poole, Esq., formerly of Carnarvon, and of Caenest, Merionethshire.

He was also a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a distinction which was conferred upon him for a paper read before the society on the mode of finding the latitude without instruments. He was also a mathematician of the highest order, and had a long acquaintance among the leading German and English mathematicians, by whom he was held in high repute. His remains were brought over from Berlin on the evening of Wednesday last, and interred at Llanbeblig on the 13th. inst., where also rest the remains of a son.

DEATH OF OUR OLDEST TRADESMAN
This week we have to record the death of one of our most respected, if not the oldest tradesman in the town, in the person of Mr. Cowell, Pool-street. The deceased gentleman had been ailing for a very long time, and his demise was not unexpected. He was 75 years old. General sympathy is felt with his wife and children in their bereavement. Many years ago, he took an active interest in municipal affairs, and was a member of the town council at the time when the new waterworks were constructed.

DEATH OF MR. DAVID MORGAN
This week we regret to record the death of Mr. David Morgan, cabinet-maker, Segontium-terrace, and formerly of Castle-square, which took place at an early hour on Sunday morning, after a prolonged illness. The deceased gentleman was not only the oldest, but one of the best known tradesman in the town and district, having carried on business here for upwards of half a century. In politics he was a staunch Conservative, and at one time a very useful member of the town council. Mr. Morgan lived an irreproachable life, his sterling qualities and straightforward conduct always recommending him as the best of friends. He was a prominent member of the Welsh Wesleyan denomination. The deceased, who was 78 years of age, was a genial and kindly-disposed gentleman, and in his death several of the smaller Wesleyan churches in the Carnarvon circuit have lost a benefactor.

DEATH OF MR. J. O. JONES
This week we regret to have to record the death of Mr. J. Owen Jones, wine and spirit merchant, which took place on Monday evening at Cefnhengwrt, Llandwrog, where the deceased had been staying for some months for the benefit of his health. Deceased, who was a brother of Mr. Hugh Jones, Marble Works, and eldest son of the late Mr. John Jones, Stone mason, had been in extensive business in this town, first as a painter and coach builder for many years at the Brunswick Buildings. Sixteen years ago he retired from that business and succeeded to the business of the late Mr. William Roberts, Castle Ditch, as wine and spirit merchant. Mr. Jones was a member of the town council for a number of years, and took lively interest in the welfare of his native town. He had also been a member of the Wesleyan connection, and for years held several important offices in connection with that cause in the town. He leaves sons and daughters, with whom general sympathy is expressed. The funeral was private, and took place on Thursday at Llanbeblig.

DEATH
This week we regret to have to record the death of one of our most esteemed tradesmen in the person of Mr. Griffith Williams, slate merchant, Bryn Gwynedd, Llanbeblig-road, which took place after a long and painful illness, early on Thursday morning. For a great number of years Mr. Williams occupied the post of Manager for Mr. Robinson at the Talysarn Quarry. In that capacity, he not only endeared himself to the workmen by the sense of fairplay which he always exhibited towards the men, but he proved himself, also, a most capable business man. Then he embarked on enterprises of his own, got into a large way of business, and became the possessor of considerable wealth. The depression in the slate industry, however, affected him to a considerable degree, and to a great extent crippled his resources and fortune. He was a member of Engedi Chapel, and had been deacon for many years. He leaves a widow and two children to mourn his loss.

DEATH OF MRS. GRIFFITH, LATE OF THE GLANMORFA SLATE WORKS
We have this week to announce the death of Mrs. Griffith, widow of Mr. Evan Griffith, for many years proprietor of the Glanmorfa Slate Works, which took place on Tuesday evening. Mrs. Griffith had been ailing for some time, and though her death was of a sudden character, yet it was not altogether unexpected. She was a prominent member of the Engedi Calvinistic Methodist church, and was 68 years of age. The deceased, who was highly respected, leaves a large family and numerous friends to mourn her loss.

DEATH OF MISS HOWELLS
This week we regret to have to record the death of Miss Howells, who for 26 years was the matron of H. M. Prison, in this town. Before coming to Carnarvon the deceased lady had been for several years on the staff of the Liverpool Prison. She was of a kindly and generous disposition, and in her death the deserving poor will lose a friend and benefactor. On her retirement, on the 1st. July, Miss Howells took up her residence at 1 Brymer-terrace, Bontnewydd, where, a few days later, she was taken ill, and attacked subsequently by paralysis of the brain. The deceased, whose death took place on Wednesday afternoon, was 63 years of age.

DEATH OF MRS. CHARLESON
On Saturday night, the death took place of Mrs. Charleson, of the Royal Hotel. The deceased lady, who was of Scotch extraction, had been in delicate health for a long time past, and, although the news of her death came somewhat suddenly on the town, it was not altogether unexpected. She was of a genial and kindly disposition, and highly esteemed by all who came in contact with her. General sympathy is felt with Mr. Charleson in his bereavement. Her remains, deposited in a lead shell, placed in a polished oak coffin, with heavy brass plates, made by Mr. H. Williams, cabinetmaker, left Carnarvon with the 8.15 p.m. train for Forres, Scotland, and was interred at Lluny Hill Cemetery. Deceased was 51 years of age. Numerous and costly wreaths were received. All arrangements were most satisfactorily carried out by Messrs. Morris and Davies, Nelson Emporium.

DEATH OF MR. JOHN W. POOLE
On Sunday morning, the sudden death took place of Mr. John W. Poole, of The Cliffe, a gentleman, very well known and highly respected throughout Carnarvonshire and the neighbouring counties. He was the son of the late Mr. Richard Poole, of Carnarvon, and Talsarnau, Merioneth, and was thus connected with one of the oldest and most respected families in the district. Like his brother, Mr. J. W. Poole, J. P., formerly clerk of the peace for Carnarvonshire, the deceased was brought up in the legal profession, but never practised to any extent, preferring rather to follow the life of a country gentleman. He was popular throughout the locality, a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, and an enthusiastic supporter of several public movements, notably anything connected with the cultivation of science and art.

THE LATE MR. JOHN POOLE, CARNARVON
We are this week enabled to insert a few additional particulars relative to the death of the above-named gentleman which may be of interest to his numerous friends.
Mr. Poole had, we understand, been ailing for some time, and had, under medical advice, recently visited Llandrindod and taken the waters, from which he seemed to have derived much benefit, and for a fortnight or more before his death his general health had greatly improved, though he still continued to suffer much from violent attacks of coughing. He was, however, out in the forenoon of Saturday, the 14th - the day before his death - and continued apparently in his usual health until about three o'clock on Saturday morning, when he had a violent fit of coughing, during which he unfortunately ruptured a blood vessel, causing his immediate death.
The greatest sympathy is felt for Mrs. Poole in her sad and sudden bereavement.
Mr. John Poole was the youngest son of the late Mr. Richard Anthony Poole, formerly of Carnarvon, and of Caenest, Merionethshire, and had formerly held a commission in the volunteers, on their being first established in Carnarvon, and as he had subsequently served for some years as an officer in the 4th Battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers Militia, the following regimental order was issued on his death becoming known:-
Extract from regimental orders of the 4th Royal
Welch Fusiliers
Carnarvon, October 16th, 1893
The commanding officer regrets to have to announce to the battalion the death of an old and much esteemed officer - Mr. J. Poole. The deceased gentleman was a good friend to the Militia always (especially to the band, in which he took the greatest interest), and his sudden and unexpected death will be regretted by all ranks.
Any of the staff desirious of paying their last respects to the memory of the deceased will be permitted to attend his funeral.
(Signed) J. GRIFFITH,
Captain and Adjutant
Royal Welch Fusiliers
The deceased was also a prominent member of the Masonic body, being Past Master, as well as High Provincial Officer in the Craft, Royal Arch and Mark Mason, and was also a member of the Carnarvon Harbour Trust.
Lieutenant and Quartermaster White and the whole of the staff - except those on duty - of the 4th Battalion Royal Welch Fusiliers, together with a large number of friends of the deceased assembled at the Cliffe, and joined the funeral procession to the railway station, a mark of kindly feeling which was much appreciated by the family.
The internment took place on Friday, the 20th inst., at the Parish Church of Llanbedr, Merionethshire, the family burial place, where the funeral was met by a large contingent of Merionethshire friends, the service in the church and at the grave being performed by the Rev. J. W. Wynne Jones, vicar of Carnarvon, a personal friend of the deceased.
The funeral arrangements at Carnarvon were most efficiently carried out by Messrs. Morris and Davies, of the Nelson Emporium, and at Llanbedr by Mr. Richard Griffith.
From the Carnarvon & Denbigh Herald: November 24th. 1893.

It is with deep regret we have to announce the death of Mr. Edward Lonnie, 3, Edward-street, which took place on Tuesday morning, after a long and painful illness. The funeral (public) will take place on Friday (to-day) at Llanbeblig.
