Aged 82, the death occurred on Saturday evening, at 18, Crabb-street, of Mrs Elizabeth Linnitt, wife of Mr John Linnitt. The deceased's brother-in-law (Mr Alfred Linnitt) was buried only a few hours before Mrs Linnitt passed away.

Besides the husband, three daughters are left to mourn their loss. Mr Samuel Skinner, of Bournemouth and formerly of Rushden, is the only surviving brother of the deceased.

Mr and Mrs J Linnitt celebrated their diamond wedding in October, 1925, when they received a letter of congratulations and good wishes from the King.

The funeral of Mrs Linnitt took place on Wednesday, the Rev. J A Sutherland officiating. A service was held in the Park-road Baptist Church.
