The interment of the late Mr. Mattias LORD, of Parton,  at Moresby Church,
on
Tuesday was attended by many friends and acquaintances.  The deceased who
was
a bachelor, 52 years of age, resided with his sister and  brother-in-law,
Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas ADDISON, of Quay House, Parton, the family  tie between them
never having been broken, and the severance  is  consequently very keenly
felt
by Mrs. ADDISON.


Mr. LORD had been the village lamp lighter for many  years, and his death
has
removed a familiar figure. Having been reared on the  edge of the Solway at
No. 3 Pit Houses, Mr. LORD acquired a love of the sea that  never left him,
and
sea fishing, boat building and repairing were his hobbies.  He had intended
to vacate the post of lamp lighter at the  weekend.


The Rev. H. J. ALLEN read the service, and at the  close made a feeling
reference to deceased’s devotion to duty. His conversation  with him had
always
been of the pleasantest kind.


There were floral wreaths with deepest sympathy from  Frances and Thomas,
Mr.
and Mrs. Dixon FISHER, Mary THOMAS and family, Wee  Tommy, Mr. John BELL and
family, Grace and Maggie, Mr. and Mrs. DAVIDSON, and  Clayton, Betty and
George.


The bearers were Messrs. S. ASKEW, J. MURRAY, J.  McMEIKIN and A. COATES.
