OBITUARIES
The deep sympathy of the townspeople has gone out this week to Dr. C. N. Lovely, of "The Knowle," Dawlish, and his young family of children, in the death on Monday last of Mrs. Lovely.
The deceased lady had hardly been ill a fortnight.
She was suffering from pneumonia, with other serious complications, and whilst it was known that her condition was very grave, it was hoped that the best of skilled medical attention and nursing would pull her through.
Her death therefore, came as a great shock.
Dr. Lovely's large professional connection, and his past good work for the town as Councillor and twice chairman of the U. D. C. - it is well remembered that it was his initiative and effort that secured the erection of the Bandstand - have combined to make him much in the public eye and much respected.
Hence a bereavement such as this (always inexpressibly sad in the case of the death of the wife and mother), falling upon one so well-known touches the heart of the community in an especial degree.
The deceased was the daughter of Col. Allison, of Tickford Abbey, Newport Pagnell, Bucks.
The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon amidst very general manifestations of the community's sympathy.
The Urban District Council, the Dawlish Railway and Postal Officials, and local tradesmen, etc., were represented in the funeral procession, and many of the gentry sent their carriages.
The chief mourners were
Dr. C. N. Lovely and children,
Col. W. H. Allison (father),
Lieut-Col Allison (brother),
Mrs. A. Graham (sister,
Mr. Manton Lovely (brother-in-law)
