Death of Major A. A. Crossley, of Misterton: The parishioners of Misterton, near Crewkerne, and the many friends of the family over wide area, heard with deep regret of the death which occurred in a London nursing home on Saturday night, of Major Alwyne Ainsworth Crossley of Old Court, Misterton, eldest surviving, son of the late Mr. Clement Crossley and Mrs. Crossley, of Burton Pynsent, Curry Rivel. He was 51 years of age. Major Crossley had a good record of service during the South African War and the Great War. The family has resided at Old Court for 25 years, and both Major Crossley and Mrs. Crossley have performed much valuable public and charitable work. The body was cremated at Golder’s Green on Wednesday and the ashes scattered, this being the wish of Major Crossley.
