Ambleside Herald & Lakes News Issue 231 11 Aug 1884 Page 4 Death of JOHN TYSON Death of a Westmorland Man in Liverpool It is with regret that we this week announce the death, after a lingering illness, of a former resident of Ambleside, and a native of the district, which took place at 132 Crown Street, Liverpool, on Monday last, the 18th inst. Mr. JOHN TYSON was the eldest son of the late Mr. THOMAS TYSON, farmer of Skelgill and Waterhead, Ambleside, and was a pupil of the late REV. WM. SEWELL. The deceased at an early age entered the General Post Office at Liverpool, and continued therein until some eighteen months ago, when, through failing health, he was compelled to resign his post, and retired on a pension, having attained the high position of a Superintendent of the General Post Office, and given 38 years to the service of the Crown. He was not however, destined to enjoy his well earned pension for any length of time, for his illness slowly but surely assumed a more serious form, and towards last weekend his relatives in Ambleside were informed that he was getting worse, and about eleven o'clock on Monday night he passed peacefully away. The funeral takes place in Liverpool today, when a large number of relations and friends will no doubt attend to pay a last tribute to one whose kind and genial manner had won for him the respect of all with whom he came in contact. MR. TYSON was in the 60th year of his age. On the 18th at 132 Crown Street, Liverpool, Mr. JOHN TYSON, eldest son of the late Mr. THOMAS TYSON, farmer, of Ambleside, aged 59 years.
