THE LATE MRS G L HALL

The death was reported on Thursday of Mrs Gladys Lilian Hall, daughter of Mr & Mrs George Taylor of 95 Rynal Place, Evesham.  Mrs Hall had been in failing health for a number of years and it was because of this that she had given up her work at Willmott’s Ltd, Evesham, where she was a popular employee.  Ten years ago she married Mr George Alfred Hall, son of Mrs and the late Mr Maurice Hall of Badsey.  Mr Hall was a victim of an air raid in September 1940.

The late Mrs Hall was a member of the Mission Hall, Evesham, and her many friends at Evesham and Badsey will sympathise with her parents and family.  The funeral will take place at Badsey on Saturday at 2.30.

In the following week's newspaper, Saturday 7 February 1942, a report of the funeral was printed:
