DEATH OF MRS. M.E.C. DUGDALE
At Fifehead Neville Parish Church (Dorsetshire), to-day, a funeral service for Mrs. Mary Eliza Cornwallis Dugdale was held, the interment of whose remains is fixed to take place at Boxley, Maidstone, tomorrow.
Mrs. Dugdale was the wife of Major Arthur George Dugdale, late of the Royal Artillery, of Fifehead Neville Manor, and they were married in July, 1878. Mrs. Dugdale, who was advanced in years, celebrated her golden wedding just over three years ago. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. James Whatman, who represented two Kent constituencies in the House of Commons, and was a Fellow of the Royal Society and the Society of Antiquaries. Mrs. Dugdale, through her mother, was a granddaughter of the second Marquess of Cornwallis, a title which is now extinct.

FIFEHEAD NEVILLE.
THE LATE MRS. A.S. DUGDALE.
FIFEHEAD'S LOSS.
Many friends living over a wide radius heard with regret of the death of Mrs. Mary Eliza Cornwallis Dugdale, wife of Major Arthur Dugdale, of Fifehead Neville, who passed away on Sunday.
"The village," writes a correspondent, "has lost a good friend, and the church a staunch supporter and benefactor in the death of Mrs. Dugdale, and all wish to offer their sympathy to Major Dugdale in his grief.
"Every year it had been Mrs. Dugdale's custom to provide some festivity for the village people. Only a few weeks before her death she asked tht steaps should be taken to arrange, at her expense, an outing to the sea for the children of the Sunday School. Every case of serious sickness evoked her sympathy, and help from her in the most needed form was often provided day by day.
"It was a very rare thing for her seat in church to be empty on a Sunday. In this she did her part in setting a splendid example to all of the first duty of man to his God, viz., 'to worship Him.' In the spring fo this year she provided new and costly furniture for the altar."
The first part of the funeral service took place at Fifehead on Wednesday, Canon Ross (recotr of Swindon) and the Rev. B, Hill (rector of Fifehead Neville) officiating. The hymns, "There is a land of pure delight" and "Let Saints on earth," were sung. At the close Chopin's "Funeral March" was played by the Organist (Mr. Symonds).
. . . Owing to the limited accommodation in the tiny church, it was impossible for all who wished to be present to find seats.
The body was conveyed by motor-hearse to Boxley, near Maidstone, where the interment took place yesterday (Thursday).
