DEATH OF MRS. HADWEN,
We have to record this week the death of Mrs. Hadwen, of Ashfield, Lancaster widow of Henry Hadwen, Esq. who was for many years manager of the Lancaster Banking Company. The deceased lady had been ill for about a fortnight with inflammation of the lungs, and was attended by Dr. Wingate-Saul and Dr. Mannix, in conjunction with Dr. Shuttleworth and Dr. Fletcher Beach, her sons-in-law. Up to Friday last hopes were entertained of her recovery, but on that day she rapidly grew worse, and on Sunday morning failure of the heart's action carried her off, in her seventy second year. Joshua Hadwen was twice married, and Henry Hadwen was one of his sons by his first wife. He then married a Mrs. Barton, who had a daughter, Elizabeth Barton. In this way Mr. and Mrs. Hadwen, although no relation, were brought up together as brother and sister, and on May 22nd, 1856, they were married at the Friends' Meeting House. Mr. Hadwen, besides fulfilling the onerous duties connected with his position in the Bank, found time to engage in various kinds of religious and philanthropic work, and when he died on February 19th, 1880, in his sixty-second year, he was widely and genuinely respected. The deceased lady was, as was her husband, a member of the Society of Friends, and attended the Meeting until within a mouth of her death. She was of a very benevolent disposition, and did much good in a quiet but practical way. She took an active part in the sewing schools which were opened during the Cotton Famine by the Society of Friends before the town took up the work. At these classes women were paid two-pence or threepence per hour for the work done, and the articles made were either sold or given. The women were also taught to read and write in the evening, and given a like amount for their attendance. Mrs. Hadwen was also keenly interested in the Children's Society, and other kindred institutions, and it is a some-what- melancholy fact that a sale of work for the funds of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals had been -arranged to take place at her residence on the day of her funeral. She leaves behind her three daughters, the eldest having married Dr. Shuttleworth, of London, for many years Medical Superintendent of the Royal Albert Asylum ; the second Dr. Fletcher Beach, of Manchester ; and the youngest Mr. C. E. Mason, who has resided at Ashfield. The interment took place in the burial ground attached to the Friends' Meeting House on Wednesday. The remains were enclosed in a filmed coffin with brass mountings and name and plate. There was a large attendance, the principal mourners being Dr. and Mrs. Shuttleworth, Dr. and Mrs. Fletcher Beach, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Mason, Mr. W. G. Welch, Mr. J. Sanderson, Mr. W. Tilly, Dr. Wingate-Saul, Dr. Mannix, Mr. J. Watson, Miss Abbott (maid), Mr. Clarkson (gardener), and the servants at Ashfield. Amongst those also present were Mrs. Wingate-Saul, Mr. E.

Weekes, Miss Worsdell, &c. Upon arrival of the funeral cortege at the Meeting-house the coffin was laid at the graveside, and after an interval of impressive silence an extempore prayer was offered by Mr. T. Barrow. The body was then laid to rest, and the mourners assembled at the Meeting-house, where a short service was held, an address being given by Miss Worsdell.
