Notes
Sad Case of Young Soldier A military funeral, which had very sad local connections, took place on Easter Monday in Frome and was the occasion of a warm-hearted demonstration of sympathy with former Frome residents and with some in the town who had been looking forward to future happiness. Everett Ferriday, the bright young son of Rev JG Ferriday for six years Primitive Methodist minister at Frome and later Mount Tabor Chapel, Bristol, now at St Austell, Cornwall was laid to rest. A month previously on attaining the age of 18 he had joined up for service, having been hitherto employed at a motor and cycle works in Bristol. He was drafted to the 94th Territorial Reserve Battalion and stationed at Chiseldon Camp. Swindon. He contracted a chill almost immediately and a severe attack of bronchial pneumonia developed to which he succumbed on Tues last week. It was decided by his friends that the internment should take place in Frome with which he had always maintained a happy connection where he was a frequent visitor from Bristol and his body was conveyed to the town on Monday arriving at midday where it was received by the members of B Battery of the RFA stationed in the town under Capt AF Stancombe RFA, Lt W Green adn Second Lt HJ MacTavish who escorted the body conveyed upo one of their guns and covered with a Union Jack to Vallis Road cemetery. The newspaper reports that the next of kin were in St Austell but the CWGC show their address as 5 Portland Road, Frome.
