Local Comentary
by "Woffler"

Writing to a local contemporary with reference to the funeral of Farrow, A. H. S. S. says: 'Three persons have come well out of this ordeal: (1) The Bishop of Oxford, who allowed Farrow to be buried with Christian rites in consecrated ground; (2) the Vicar of the parish, who conducted the service; (3) a squire of a neighbouring village who, in the midst of his grief at the loss of a friend, found time to send a substantial gift to the widow in her distress. These gifts of God tend to lighten the burdened soul, and will not go unrewarded.'
