The death took place suddenly yesterday week at 13 Crabb-street, Rushden, of Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis, widow of the late Mr. George Bryant Lewis, at the age of 60 years. Mrs. Lewis, who was apparently in her usual health until last Monday week, was seized with a stroke whilst sitting at her sewing machine. Her granddaughter, Miss Bessie Lewis, was at work when her grandmother was taken ill, and the aged lady might have died unattended were it not for the fact that her neighbour, Mrs. Jaques, heard her moan. She at once entered the house and found Mrs. Lewis on the floor of the sitting room. Mrs. Jaques obtained assistance, and after getting the sufferer on the couch sent for Dr. Greenfield, who came at once, but gave no hopes of Mrs. Lewis’s recovery. She never rallied and passed peacefully away. She leaves two sons and one daughter to mourn their loss. Both sons are abroad, one being in Canada and the other in New Zealand.

The funeral took place on Saturday in the cemetery, the Rev. P. J. Robson (Rector) officiating. The coffin was of polished elm with brass fittings and bore the inscription:

ELIZABETH LEWIS.
Widow of the late George Bryant Lewis,
Died April 12^th, 1916,
Aged 60 years.

The mourners were: Mrs. G. Linnell (daughter), Mr. Isaac Woodhams (brother) London, Mr. G. Linnell (son-in-law), Mrs. Chas. Knight (sister), Earls Barton, Misses Elsie Linnell. Bessie Lewis, Winnie Linnell and Phyllis Linnell (grand-daughters), Mrs. F. Jaques and Mr. D. Dudley (friends), Mr. Isaac Woodhams, jun., and Mrs. Tassell (nephew and niece).
