Death of a Popular Townsman.
We regret to have to record tb£ death of Mr J. F. Overeud (local manager of Devin and Co.) which took place at Hastings last night. Deceased had been in failing health for some time. He left Foxton for Hastings in company with Mrs Overend about three weeks ago, in the hope that the change of climate would do him good. But all to no purpose! He seemed to be progressing well at the latter end of last week, so well that Mrs Overeud returned home on Satur» day last. Deceased will be sorely missed in the district, especially in sporting circles, where he had become deservedly popular. At the time of his death, deceased held office as treasurer to the Foxton Racing Club. He was also a Borough Councillor during the previous term. We join with all in extending our heartfelt sympathy to his wife and family. The body will be brought to Foxton for interment, and the funeral will probably take place on Friday.
