Death of Mr. J. B. Pinsent: Newton Abbot has lost by death in the person of Mr. John Ball Pinsent its oldest tradesman. Deceased was the bead of the firm of Messrs. Pinsent and Son. brewers, which business he founded in conjunction with the late Mr. Palk, after whose death the deceased was the sole proprietor for several years. Mr. Pinsent was born at Stoke, near Devonport, and came to Newton Abbot when ten years old. About thirty years ago he took his only son, Mr. W. S. Pinsent, into partnership, and the latter has practically managed the business ever since old age crept upon his father. Deceased never took an active part in public affairs, but up to the time that he became blind, he closely watched the progress made by the various governing bodies. His charity was rarely given openly. He was one of those men who did “good by stealth and blush to find it fame.” Being a man deeply loved, respected, and held in high esteem, his loss will be keenly felt, especially by those who have shared off his bounty. Deceased, in politics, although he never identified himself with party affairs, was a staunch Conservative. The last time, in fact, that he went out of doors was to record his vote for Mr. Nix at the recent general election. Deceased has been in failing health for the last six months, and latterly he became very ill indeed, the end coming on Thursday somewhat unexpectedly at his residence in High Week St. The actual cause of death is senile decay. His wife predeceased him by twelve years. The late Mr. Pinsent was a very energetic and enterprising man and as result of his tact and perseverance his business soon became one of the most flourishing and successful breweries in the district. Deceased was aged 81. The funeral takes place at Hightweek on Monday, leaving the house at twelve a.m.
