Obituary. M r . W il l ia m H e n r y D u k e , senior partner in Messrs. Duke and Son, the Penshurst firm with a name that has gone wherever the British flag flies and stumps are pitched, passed aw ay at his residence at Tonbridge on February 27. Of late Mr. Duke had not been in very good health ; but no one anticipated th at the fifty-seventh would be his life’s last milestone, and only ten days before his death he visited the factory. He was popular with all, and he will be missed at K en t’s home matches, for his was a familiar figure on Kentish grounds ; but cricket was by no means the only sport in which he took keen interest, and a wide circle of friends will mourn his death. The funeral took place on March 3, at Leigh, and the church was full of those who had come to pay their last tribute to William Henry Duke’s memory. Among those present were Messrs. Arthur Duke (brother), Harry Duke (cousin), Tom Pawley, sen., Tom Pawley, jun., G. Hale and Finn-Kelsey, and Dr. Charrington Wood, with more than 150 of the firm’s employees. The combined choirs of Chiddingstone and Leigh helped to render the service impressive. Mr. Duke sleeps by the side of his father and mother in the family grave ; but the work of his life is continued by equally capable hands and brains, and one trusts th at the firm of Duke and Son will never become extinct.
