JAMES PERCY TALBOT NOTCUTT

CHIEVELEY

DEATH OF MR. NOTCUTT

The funeral of the late Mr. James Percy Talbot Notcutt, of Chieveley took place on Tuesday afternoon.  As the deceased had only taken up his residence in the parish since Michaelmas, he was not widely known, but there was ample evidence that he had begun to make his influence felt and become much respected form the fact that nearly all the business and private houses had shrouded their windows during the passing of the funeral cortage.  The polished English coffin, mounted with massive brass furnishing, with handsome brass shield breastplate was inscribed:
