An English paper has the following to say regarding the death of a former welhkuowu‘ Norwalk man: It II with deep regret we record the death of- Mr; Leigh Whittaker. tenor vocalist. of Fallsworth. 'The and event occurred on Thursday afternoon, Julylamh. under Iomewhat tragic and painful circumstances. Wr. Whittaker had not. been well foriaome mentha, or complaint. the had not been con- fined to his bed. but was able to walk about. and was thought to he Improv- Ing I , On Thursday tsraoon he was at the Liberal Club w telling the now lots on the green. quite in good spir- its. and laughing and .idking' with his friends. Shortly after -I he left to go home to tea. On his return he was soiaeil with a violent attack of cough- lag, bursiing a blood vessel. and al- though Dr. Leslie was soon In atten- dance. he died In a few minutes In the street. His body was removed home in an ambulance, the shock to his family and friends being great indeed. his father being In‘ delicate health. Mr. Whittaker was very well known. and highly respected in the mualcal world. He was a fine tenor vocalist when In good health, possessing a good voice, with a sweet. pleasing and meat cultivated style. his chief fort being in Iacrsd and oratorio music. Eleven years ago he went to America. and for many years was principal tenor at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, South Nor- walk. Since then he has paid Ieveral visits to the old country. returning home about eighteen months ago. He was a line sturdy type of a John Bull, and his iovlal disposition. genial man- ner, and good nature made him a wel- come guest. and eude‘aredhim to a very large circle of friends. His and untimely end will be much regretted on both sides the Atlantic. Mr. Whit- taker was a nephew of the late James Whittaker, the famous bass vocalist, and It is a remarkable coincidence that both of their premlslag careers should be cut off at the early age of 39. His funeral took 'place on Monday after noon, at the Failsworth Cemetery. his remains being followed to the grave by a large gathering of relatives and friends. including representatives of the Werneth Vocal Society, St Peter a Church Choir. Oldham. and the New Church Choir, Fallsworth of which he . was a member. The foilowlng beauti- ful lines have been written 1) his bioiher-in law.
