FUNERAL AT MEREVALE.
We regret to announce the death of Major Arthur George Dugdale, R.A. (retired), D.L., J.P., which occurred on Sunday at his seat, the Manor House, Fifehead Neville, Sturminster Newton, Dorset, and who passed away in his eighty-ninth year. He was the last-surviving member of a remarkable generation of the Dugdale family and uncle of the present head of the family, Mr. William Francis Stratford Dugdale, F.S.A., D.L,, J.P., of Blythe Hall, Coleshill, and Merevale Hall, Atherstone. Major Dugdale, who was born at Merevale on August 12, 1843, was the fourth son of Mr. William Stratford Dugdale, M.P., of Blythe Hall and Merevale Hall, who died on September 15, 1871, in his 72nd year. Mr. W.S. Dugdale's wife was a sister of the first Viscount Portman, and died in 1906 at the great age of 95 . . .
The funeral took place at the Church of Our Lady, Merevale, on Thursday afternoon. The service was fully choral . . .
There were several beautiful wreaths. The brick grave was lined with ivy, white chrysanthemums and white heather, by Mr. E.W. Summers, head gardener at Merevale Hall.
The flag on Merevale Hall was flown at half-mast.
