During the month of December, Badsey has lost by death two of its most highly-respected parishioners.
Mr Alfred G Kerr died at his residence on December 8 at the comparatively early age of 49. His health had for some time given cause for anxiety, but his final illness was a very short one as he was actually in Evesham only a fortnight before his death. Though a resident in Badsey for about nine years, Mr Kerr never severed his connexion with St Laurence’s, Evesham, where he regularly worshipped and was for many years a sidesman. He was a man of quiet and retiring disposition, esteemed by all, and one, moreover, of whom one never heard an unkind word spoken. The funeral, at which the Vicar assisted, took place at Evesham Cemetery on December 11.
