The funeral of the late Mr. Tom Pinsent, the eldest of the three sons of the firm of Pinsent and Sons, brewers, and spirit merchants, of Newton Abbot, took place yesterday morning at Highweek in the presence of a large circle of relatives and sympathising friends, by whom the deceased was held in the highest esteem. His death, occurring at the early age of 47, caused quite a sadness among the parishioners generally, who showed their respect for him by partially closing their shops and drawing their blinds during the hour of sepulture. Mr. L. Bearne was the undertaker; Mr. Colwill, of the Commercial Hotel, supplied the open hearse and coaches, and the men employed by the firm acted as bearers. The Rector (Rev. S. G. Harris) officiated. Deceased leaves a widow, but no family.
