DEATH OF DR. REES

The death occurred on Wednesday, at his residence, in Church-street, of Dr. Hugh Rees, M.R.C.S., England, and C.S.A., 1857. The deceased, who was 67 years of age, was a brother of Mr. G. R. Rees, of the Old Bank, and Mr. John Rees, North-road, and was an old resident of Carnarvon, his father having carried on a medical practice in the town, and resided at the house now occupied by Dr. John Williams, in Castle-square. For some time, Dr. Rees was the house surgeon at the Chester Infirmary, and subsequently conducted a private practice in that town. Then, he became a surgeon at the Dinorwic Hospital, which position he resigned owing to the quarrymen insisting upon the appointment of a bonesetter, who, being without qualifications, Dr. Rees could not recognise. Having started a practice in Carnarvon a couple of years, he was appointed medical officer of health for the Carnarvonshire Combined District, a post which he held for many years. He led a quiet life, and was much respected in the town and neighbourhood, but his position as medical officer of health precluded him from taking part in public life. He leaves no children, and his wife predeceased him some eight or ten years ago. The funeral, a strictly private one, took place on Friday morning, at Llanbeblig Churchyard, the arrangements being conducted by Mr. Roberts, Waterloo House.

DEATH OF THE OLD TOWN CRIER

The death took place on Sunday, at an advanced age, of Thomas Jones, who for many years acted as town crier and news agent.
