THE death took place at 18, Grove-street, Rushden on Wednesday at the age of 64 years, of Mr Walter Denton, a native of Rushden, and well known and highly respected throughout the town. The deceased was able to continue at his work at Messrs. Denton and Sons until about seven weeks ago, but illness then compelled him to remain at home, and gradually becoming worse he passed peacefully away on Wednesday. He bore his illness with remarkable patience and fortitude. He leaves a widow, three sons and four daughters. All three sons are in the Army, one Pte Horace Denton, of the Northants Regiment being a prisoner of war. Of the other two sons, Pte T P Denton, of the Leicester Regiment, is in Mesopotamia, and Pte We Denton, of the RAMC, who was wounded about 14 months is now orderly in King George's Hospital in London. One other son, the late Pte Dennis Denton (Northants Regiment), was killed in action in August, 1915. Much sympathy is felt with the widow and family in their bereavement. The funeral will take place to-moirrow at the cemetery at 2.45 p.m.
