To Andy Sefton, We will miss you Andy, really enjoy reading these excerpts from the newspaper. Hurry Back, Pam in Arizona.
Thanks to all the kind messages I have received. I was surprised no one picked up on this super entry I posted for 3rd December 1864 in the Deaths: It gave me an evocative feeling of a Dickens novel: "On the 28th ult., at Malton, Mr Robert LENG, woodturner, aged 66. Deceased for many years has been totally blind and being gifted with no ordinary musical ability, attained great proficiency on various instruments. As a vocalist he also excelled; and all our townspeople will have vivid remembrance of his nightly perambulations of the town, during the Christmas season each year. So far as he is concerned, the Christmas carols will no longer be heard in Malton." Back soon with 1865.
