Obituary
We
regret to announce the death on Tuesday at 3, Sunnyside Villas of Mr. Francis Edwin
Hedges.
Deceased,
who was 66 years of age, had resided in Folkestone practically all his life,
and almost up to recently had led an active life. He will chiefly be remembered
as being the proprietor of the fish and poulterer’s business at 17, High Street,
which he disposed of a few years buck to a London combine, which, however,
trades under the original business name. Later
Mr. Hedges' activities found scope in taking over the Bouverie Arms in Cheriton
Road, of which he wan the licensee at the time of his death. Deceased possessed
a genial disposition, his face generally being lighted up with a pleasant
smile. "Teddy” Hedges, as he was generally termed by his intimates, was
one of Folkestone’s popular favourites, and his presence will be missed amongst
a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. To his widow and children (two sons
and a daughter) much sympathy is extended.
