The Rushden Echo, 6th May, 1921, transcribed by Gill Hollis
Mr. John Henry Taylor

The death occurred under sad circumstances on Friday last at 16, Roberts-street, Rushden, of Mr. John Henry Taylor, aged 28, who had been a sufferer from neuritis for about four years. The trouble was brought on by war service, the deceased having served with the Royal Irish Fusiliers in Egypt. After his discharge from the Army about four years ago, he was able to work, but occasionally had to leave off owing to attacks of neuritis. On Monday in last week he was taken seriously ill and was the victim on the following Thursday of several fits, from which he never rallied. He was attended by Doctors Baker, Davies, and Greenfield. The deceased, who leaves a widow, was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Taylor, of 16 Pratt-road, Rushden. Much sympathy has been expressed with the bereaved wife and parents. The funeral took place on Tuesday at the Cemetery, the Rector (Rev. P. E. Robson) officiating. The mourners were Mrs. Taylor (widow), Mr. T. Taylor (father); Mrs. T. Taylor (mother), Mr. George Taylor (brother); Mrs. Tyson (sister), Mr. E. Taylor (brother); Mr. and Mrs. A. Knight, Mr. and Mrs. F. Knight, and Mr. and Mrs. A. Osborne (sisters and brothers-in-law); Mrs. G. Taylor (sister-in-law), Mr. A. Tyson (brother-in-law); Mr. A. Hackett (father-in-law). Mrs. Gillett (aunt); Misses Lily and Nellie Hackett (sister-in-law); Miss Nellie Gillett, Mr. Morris Gillett (cousins), and Mrs. Ernest Taylor (sister-in-law). Mr. Arthur Sanders carried out the funeral arrangements.
