NEWTON: The funeral of Mrs. William Pinsent took place on Saturday at Highweek, the body being laid in the family vault with other members of the family pre-deceased. Mrs. Pinsent, who was only 48 years of age, had patiently endured a long illness, and her end although somewhat sudden at the last was not a great surprise to her family, neither did it assuage the grief their loss had entailed. The funeral arrangements were satisfactorily performed by Mr. L. Bearne, and no expense was spared to render the affair as complete as it was possible to do. The coffin was simply superb and wreaths the choicest that could be procured. The hearse and four coaches were supplied from the Globe Hotel and the attendance was fairly numerous, considering the early hour in which the solemn ceremony was performed. The Rector, Rev. S. G. Harris, officiated.
