I was saddened to read in "The Times" yesterday of the death of John Overholt. Many of you will remember him as an active contributor to this list in the past. He had been ill for some time but always maintained an active interest in the BLUETT family history. John's mother was descended from the BLUETTS of Holcombe Rogus, Devon. He developed an interest in his family history when his mother died and he inherited a large collection of BLUETT family papers including a manuscript history of the BLUETT family. The obituary in "The Times" reads as follows: OVERHOLT After a long illness, John Arthur Mostyn died peacefully at home on 26th October, aged 72. Loving husband and father to Sheila, Louise and Caroline, John was a very proud Papa to Tiggy, Scarlett and Archie and good friend to many. The funeral is on Friday November 3rd at 12.20 at Putney Vale Crematorium. Family flowers only please. Donations, if desired, to the Princess Alice Hospice, Esher, c/o Garner's, 1 & 2 Wolverton House, Wolverton Avenue, Kingston, KT2 7QE. Debbie Kennett
