Obituary
We regret to record the death of Mr. John Marsh, aged
71, for 25 years the licensee of the Alexandra Tavern, Bridge Street, which
occurred at his residence on Sunday after a painful illness patiently borne.
Mr. Marsh was a Folkestonian, having lived in the town practically all his
life. Previous to taking the Alexandra Tavern, he held a licence at The
Wellington, Harbour Street and at Alkham. He was a blacksmith by trade and had
been employed in that capacity by the Earl of Radnor for about 30 years. Mr.
Marsh was very well-known in the town although of a quiet disposition.
He leaves a widow, three sons, seven daughters, and 23
grandchildren. Early next year Mr. and Mrs. Marsh would have celebrated their
golden wedding. Much sympathy will be felt for the relatives in their sad
bereavement.
The funeral took place very quietly at the Folkestone
Cemetery (Hawkinge).
