he had taken an especially active part in the breeding of moor sheep. He was
closely identified with the Black Faced Sheep Breeders’ Association for a great
number of years. The internment took place at Egton cemetery, where the old
church used to stand, and many of the stones from which were used in the
building of the church at Egton, on Saturday afternoon, and the large number of
people present were eloquent of the respect in which they deceased was held.

Robinson, to attend. Mrs G Robinson, of 15, The Avenue, Middlesbrough, said
Farndale had been a domestic servant with
her for about a month when, on March 7, the girl was alone in the kitchen doing
her work. “I heard a scream, and going to the kitchen found her standing with
her clothes a flaming. I extinguished the flames and had her removed to
hospital. She had never fainted in my house before, but she said she had had
dizzy fits in a cinema and in the street before.” Dr Boyd said Farndale was admitted
to North Riding Infirmary on March 7 with severe burns. She improved, but
died on Saturday from toxic absorption following burns.
