Obituary—A prominent worker of the Rushden Men’s Adult School passed away at 9 Park-place, on Monday, in the person of Mr. George Scrivener, at the age of 69 years. The deceased had been a great sufferer for two years from a cancerous growth in the neck, and he had undergone two heavy operations, one being so recently as last November. From the latter operation he never rallied, and six weeks ago he was compelled to take to his bed, since which time he suffered the most intense agony. He was happily released from his suffering at 5.45 on Monday. The late Mr. Scrivener was one of the earliest members of the Adult School movement in Rushden, and held many offices, including eight years’ duty as the Coal Club secretary. He was held in the highest esteem by the members of both the Men’s and Women’s Schools. For 15 years the late Mr. Scrivener served in the Army, being in the King’s Liverpool Regiment and afterwards in the Manchesters, and for ten years he served in India. He leaves a widow, one son, and one daughter to mourn their loss. The son, Signaller Robert Scrivener, is serving his country in the North Sea. The funeral took place yesterday at the cemetery, the first portion of the obsequies being conducted at the deceased’s residence by the Rev. H. Shaw (Wesleyan), who also officiated at the graveside. In addition to the family mourners, there were representatives of the Adult Schools present. [A list of wreaths follows]
