The Rushden Echo, 16th December 1898, transcribed by Jim Hollis
Mr. Harry West
Fever in Rushden
Death From Typhoid
Another Fresh Case

With deep regret we have to announce the death of one of the patients suffering from typhoid fever, viz., Mr. Harry West, aged 38, of High-street South, Rushden, who passed away on Monday morning. The deceased, who was a widower, his wife having died about four years ago, leaves five children. The funeral took place on Tuesday, Mr. Harry Knight being the undertaker. Earlier in his life the deceased was a carpenter and was a very good craftsman, but latterly he has been engaged in riveting. A good deal of sympathy is being felt in Rushden for the orphans, who have been sent to different places.
