Death

Text: Name: Maria Betterton Citation details: Brecon County Times - Thursday 11 December 1919 p. 8 Text: "Death. - On Monday last the death occurred of Mrs. Maria Betterton the wife of James Betterton, at 3, New Church Street. The deceased lady had been in splendid health and the sad news was a tremendous shock to her numerous friends. She had a seizure on the previous day and never regained consciousness. Dr. Flood was in immediate attendance but the stroke was of a too serious nature, a burst blood vessel on the brain, and death was certified as to cerebral hemorrhage. Mrs. Betterton who had been deprived of her sight for the last 4 years, was noted for her unfailing bright and cherry spirit and was one of the most devoted and faithful members of S. John's Church. Despite her 70 odd years, and her infirmity, she got about remarkably and she will be greatly missed by her large circle of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Betterson came to Cefn to reside over 47 years ago. One son, Private Charles Betterton, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment was killed in action at Passchendale in October 1917, a few days after receiving a certificate from his colonel for gallant conduct and devotion to duty at Poelcappelle. Another son has only recently returned from the East after serving overseas with H.M. forces for 5 years, he left with the 1/1st Brecknocks." |
