An eminent surgeon interred at Margate cemetery is William Knight Treves, older brother of Frederick Treves, medical investigator and later mentor of Joseph Merrick (The Elephant Man) and pioneer of abdominal surgery, performing a successful appendectomy on King Edward VII in 1902, a year after he had been knighted by him. He as appointed Surgeon in Ordinary to the Duke of York in 1897 and to the Queen, Victoria in 1900.and later, in 1901 he was appointed Sergeant Surgeon to King Edward VII. A Man of great achievement, if somewhat difficult of character, Sir Frederick Treves owed much to his older brother William, for his inspiration. The family came from Dorchester, where William Knight Treves was born on the 2nd of August 1843. He studied medicine at St Thomas's Hospital and went on to become a General practitioner, but his interest in the treatment of Scrofula (Tuberculosis) led him to move to Margate, where he became resident surgeon at the Sea Bathing Infirmary. This was the national hospital for the treatment of Scrofula. Frederick entered into business with William Hunter and William Thornton. In August, 1876 Frederick Treves arrived to start a five month stay at the Sea Bathing to study Scrofula and became an expert on the subject. For William Treves, the life here was good, with plenty of wealthy private patients to provide the high income, and it was the treatment of the disease which would win him acclaim. He perfected his technique to mitigate the awful disfiguring scarring which inevitably accompanied the disease which, although, seldom fatal in its external abscess form, was unpleasant in that its scarring led to recovered patients being ostracised by society. In 1901, William was appointed to the post of Consultant Surgeon to the Hospital. William was a very busy and well respected man in Margate. On the establishment of the Cottage Hospital in Victoria Road in 1876, he was appointed its first Medical Superintendent, having a ward extension of 1897 named in his honour. Twelve patients were treated in the first year with only one dying. Having given up his private practice to devote his time to researching Scrofula, he nonetheless maintained his interest in the hospitals, and became District Medical Officer and Medical Officer of Health. he remained in Margate for the rest of his life, his son Frederick Boileau Treves, being a Margate Doctor also. William Knight Treves passed away on 14th October 1908, his funeral service being attended by many medical men and dignitaries. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

The Keble's Gazette had this amusing article in 1897. I can only assume that a Tailor had a Days gone by window display with cumbersome clothes! In a shop in the High Street there is to be seen a lady standing in a well furnished and roomy window; she is stately, silent and still. What a host of memories the sight of her calls up. Did our grandmothers indeed dress like that? if so, how horrible it must have been for our Grandfathers! Fancy a man taking his wife, half dozen daughters and an aunt or two for a picnic up the river. One wonders how he would get them there; how they would manage in the boat and, in case of an upset, whether they would float or not. How sad too for a man to have his sweetheart caught up by the wind and carried goodness knows where, just as she was about to make a good impression! -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Well, found yet more on Samuel's stone, a small mention in an article in 1899. Keble's Gazette April 8th 1899 Alarming Occurrence at a Wedding A mishap occurred is St John's Churchyard on Wednesday by which a wedding party had a narrow escape of being precipitated into a family vault containing seven or eight coffins. It had been arranged that the wedding party should enter the church at the west door and walk through the nave to the altar. Several carriages had set down their occupants and passed on. But as the carriage which preceded the bride, pulled up, the ground suddenly gave way, revealing a cavity of about four feet square into a family vault directly in front of the door. Fortunately the horses were kept well under control and with considerable care the passengers were got out, and the carriage wheels removed from their perilous position on the sinking ground, which extended over a considerable area. The bride had to join the party form the south door, and the mishap created no small consternation, especially among the crowd that had assembled to witness the wedding. Steps were taken immediately to protect the vault from intruders, and in a few hours, the work of re[airing the arch was commenced, the men working well into the night in their anxiety to prevent further damage (Superstition?) The brick crown of the vault is only a few inches from the surface, and in the course of excavations necessary to repair the breach, a large number of human bones were unearthed. It is stated that a Memorial stone near, to the memory of Samuel and Sarah BLOXHAM, John and Mary Holmes etc, has reference to this vault, and the last interment was a relative named Jordan, in 1840. Well, explains why his head stone was up against the wall??

Keble's Gazette Saturday 17th September 1887 Margate The Inquest An inquest, in respect to the death of Robert Jones, aged 54, a Boatman who lived in Trinity square, was held on Friday afternoon last, by the Borough Coroner Mr Boys. The jury which was summoned, appointed Mr G D Friend as their foreman and after they had viewed the body, evidence was taken. William Thomas Jones, son of the deceased, gave evidence of identification. He stated that he last saw his father alive about the 23rd August, when he went away to Faversham. Deceased always had good health. His habits were not particularly sober. Henry James Bondfield Stephens said; I am staying at 3 Belgrave Villas, Eaton Road and have been there since Saturday . On Wednesday last, about half past three, I and my friend Arthur Crockford, wanted to go for a row, and engaged the deceased . When we had got a little way out, he proposed that we should go to Westgate. It was calm when we started but a breeze sprung up when we were half way to Westgate . We went there and deceased got out - I think, to get something to drink. I do not think he could have been quite sober when engaged him, because he caught a "crab" on the way.(?) He did not walk unsteadily when he got into the boat at Westgate; he was then rather abrupt in his manner - unpolite in fact. He seemed very daring, and as if he did not care what he did. He said he would bring us home. He knew about the roughness of the weather, and asked if we were frightened. On the way back, deceased, who was rowing with one oar, was thrown off his seat three times. We shipped several inches of water into the boa, and it was about up to my ankles. On the further side of the Sea bathing Infirmary we pulled up to shore and I and my friend got out, as I thought it not safe to go on with the deceased. Jones also got out and we was settled up on the shore; he appeared quite steady then. When the deceased got out he confessed that there was a rough sea, but said he must go. He put to sea again round the Nayland Rock and got out about 100 yards. The seas went then, into the boat and sank it. I did not see him afterwards. We saw something black in the water but I could not tell what it was. I went into the water as far as I could with two others, but we couldn't reach him. By the Foreman: We did not bail out the water when we went ashore. By the Coroner: Deceased said on the way that he wished to get in quickly. The wind changed just as we got past the Infirmary and the waves chopped. George Fruin stated: I know the deceased, and have done so for five or six years. I saw him at 12 o clock on Wednesday and he then appeared to be sober. I was on the sands, near the Sea Bathing Infirmary, about seven o clock. I searched after the body and found it in about 4feet 6 inches of water. With assistance I got it ashore. It was afterwards taken to Gore's yard. William Pyle of Cassell's Gardens, King Street, deposed: I saw the deceased at 2 o clock on Wednesday and he was then sober. I was at York Corner when deceased was on the water and I saw him put into the bay. I went round there to see if I could help him. Deceased pushed off again and afterwards sat of the fore thwarts and put anchor down. I held up my hand to him to let the boat come ashore and he answered me back. This was about six o clock. The next sea which came seemed to take the boat from under him and filled it. I do not know what his object was in letting go the anchor. I should think he was in about 9 feet of water, and if he had come in about 20 yards he would have touched bottom. I did not see him afterwards Deceased had not time to get up the anchor when I lifted up my hand, because the next sea came and filled the boat. It was stupid thing to do, but no doubt he shipped some more water in rowing, and when he began to find it was filling he threw out his anchor with the intention of bailing out the water. I cannot say whether the deceased could swim. The Deceased son in answer to a question, said his father was a fair swimmer. The Coroner: It is extraordinary, unless he had some injury, that he did not attempt to strike out and keep up for a short time. Dr White Deposed" I examined the body shortly after eight o clock on Wednesday evening at the mortuary. There was no marks of violence on it. I examined it as to whether it was possible he might have had a fit, but there was no indication of anything beyond death by drowning. the Coroner then summed up and remarked that he did not think it would take a jury more than a few seconds to come to a verdict. There was no doubt it would have been far better if the deceased had remained with the two gentleman on the sands because the boat could easily have been conveyed from there to the harbour. The deceased how ever, somewhat fool hardy and the consequence was that he went again. Why he had put down the anchor was impossible to say, probably it was to bail out the water, but the waves went over it and the boat filled. It seems somewhat curious that one who could swim should make no apparent effort to get to shore. But it was impossible to say what happened. The coldness of the water and the shock might possibly have paralysed him. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Drowning". -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
