Talaton: A correspondent writes: “In the passing away of J. Pynsent Mathew, of Rydon, we lose a fine old English gentleman and sportsman (a type fast dying out), and, as such, his memory will long remain throughout the countryside. He was as sportsman of the old school, and his science of hunting was hard to beat. He had survived most of his contemporaries, having lived to the age of 96. His memory will be long cherished as a kind friend and a courteous neighbour by his employees and all who came in contact with him. The floral tributes at his funeral were numerous, including two lovely wreaths from the employees and the household at Rydon”.
