Thanks, Suzannah for that newspaper clipping. George Stupples is in my family tree and this adds extra information about him. George married Rosetta Sayer at St John's Margate in 1888. The 3 children mentioned were Alice Elizabeth born 1890, Anne born 1893 and Edward born 1897. I know that Alice was born at Dent de Lion Farm, Garlinge. Rosetta was a sister of my great grandmother, Emily Pamela Sayer, and daughter of James Sayer and Emma Ann Solley.

Since his retirement a few years ago, Mr STUPPLES was often to be seen walking slowly down the village streets and he always had a kind word and helping hand for everyone. He was born at Garlinge and left school at the age of nine to start to work as a crowboy, scaring birds from crops. During the years he worked for local farmers he learnt every branch of agriculture and dairy farming and became an expert thatcher. After leaving Garlinge he lived in Margate for nine years before moving to St Peter's where his family have resided for over 200 years. He lived at Calva Cottages, Vicargae Street, until going to the Almshouses. Mr STUPPLES leaves a widow, one son and two daughters. The funeral took place at St Pete's Churchyard on Tuesday when the Curate (the Rev W E Edwards) officiated.
