Sudden Death or Mr. Thomas WINTLE, of MITCHELDEAN.— The death took place at his residence at Mitcheldean, on Sunday morning, of Mr. Thomas Wintle who, as a businessman is well known in the Forest of Dean and a wide district outside. Mr. Wintle enjoyed fairly good health. Until lately it was generally understood, however, that his heart was affected. During the past month he had suffered from a bad cold, and this, with other ailments, gave his medical attendant Dr. Searancke, occasion for some considerable anxiety. On Saturday last, accompanied by the gentleman named, Mr. Wintle, while at Gloucester, saw Mr. Edis, who did not think the patient in a good state of health. He urged caution and care. Mr. Wintle returned home and went to bed early. Next morning, having passed a fairly good night he took a dose of medicine as was his usual custom, this being given by Mrs. Wintle at about 6 o'clock. There were then no unusual symptoms, but at 8 o'clock Mrs. Wintle took up a cup of tea into deceased's bedroom, and was horrified to find him dead. He had apparently passed away in his sleep. The news caused much grief in the town, and the sad event was mentioned at morning service at the parish church, by the Revs. H. Hardy, rector, and L. Roberts (Congregational). Deceased was in a large way of business, engaged as a miller, maltster, and brewer, and employed a numerous staff of men. He owned several public houses in Gloucester and the neighbourhood. The funeral took place at Mitcheldean on Wednesday. The coffin was placed in an open hearse, richly upholstered and mounted with silver bearings. The mourners were : Mr. A. J. Wintle, Ross (deceased's only brother), and his two sons : Messrs. Frank Wintle. E. Yearsley, J. Bryant W. Woolley, H. J. Davies, W. Fletcher, Rennett Jones, and W. Gurney. Many beautiful wreaths were placed upon the coffin. About 40 gentlemen friends and tenants of the deceased attended the funeral. The business houses were closed, and the tradesmen joined in the procession. The Revs. H. H. Hardy and G. E. Gillbanks officiated. Carriages were supplied by Mr. Symonds, Gloucester, and the undertaker was Mr. H. Goodwin, also this city.

However, they must have meant his only surviving brother,
