206 Henry DUNLOPHenry DUNLOP  11 May 1867  GLASGOW HERALD: DEATH OF HENRY DUNLOP ESQ., OF CRAIGTON
It is with much regret that we announce the death of Mr Henry Dunlop of Craigton, which took place yesterday in Edinburgh. Sprung from an old and well known family Mr Dunlop has always maintained a prominent position among Glasgow manufacturers. In early life he took an active part in municipal business, serving in the Town Council, and filling for the usual term, some eight and twenty years ago, the office of Lord Provost. About the same time he manifested a warm interest in the ecclesiastical controversy which led to the Disruption. When matters began to wear towards a crisis he took a somewhat conspicuous part in the proceedings of the Assembly, and, it may be remembered, seconded the motion for the suspension of the Strathbogie ministers. He also contested the Parliamentary representation of Bute in the Liberal interest, with the ulterior view of forwarding a non-intrusion policy in the Church. In this enterprise, however, he was unsuccessful. For many years Mr Dunlop had a considerable share in the management of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, acting as deputy-chairman of the Board of Directors down to the date of the amalgamation with the North British Company. He likewise took a leading part in the business of the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, and during the period of distress occasioned by the failure of the cotton supply he was assiduous in his labours as a member of the Relief Committee. Of late years Mr Dunlop has pretty much withdrawn himself from public life; quite recently, we understand, he has spent some time in America. His death will leave a blank in our community, where he was generally esteemed as a man of amiable manners, of high integrity, and good general information.

209 Henry DUNLOPHenry DUNLOP  15 May 1867  GLASGOW HERALD: CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
A meeting of the directors of this Chamber was held yesterday; Mr Ramsay, of Kildalton, presiding.

THE LATE MR DUNLOP, OF CRAIGTON
The Chairman said ? the first thing we have to bring under your notice is an event which has caused a blank in our directorate since last meeting. We have had occasion recently to sorrow for the loss of many eminent citizens of Glasgow ? men distinguished by their zeal in advancing works of Christian beneficence, and equally so for their efforts to promote the material and moral welfare of our city, and of the human race in every corner of the globe. This is not the place specially to allude to those gentlemen; but I think that on an occasion like this it is quite suitable that we should record our expression of sorrow for the loss of Mr Dunlop, one who has been a member of this Chamber for the long period of 37 years, and during that long period has, with the exception of a few years, been in the direction. Mr Dunlop was elected chairman of this Chamber in 1841, subsequently in 1850, and again in 1862, showing that the Chamber has not only desired to do him honour, but that they believed him to deserve their confidence. I think that everyone who has had the opportunity of meeting with Mr Dunlop in the business of this Chamber must, as I have done, have entertained a sincere respect for his character, and for his zeal in everything beneficial to our association. I understand that during the long period of his association with the Chamber he has taken a very special interest in the development of our trade with India; and we can all remember how much he did very recently in promoting the French Treaty, a treaty from which we are not only to derive advantage in our commerce, but which may be expected to promote peace among the nations of the earth. Then we have also in our recollection his efforts on the occasion of the cotton famine in bringing before the public the claims of those who were in need, and by the best means of supplying the blank made in our market by the lack of supplies. As to banking again every one who heard him speak on that question, whether concurring with him or not, must have been struck by the clearness of his views; and that his views were in accordance with the opinions of the Chamber we are all well aware. I think, therefore, that on the removal of one who has so long gone in and out amongst us it is becoming that we should record an expression of sorrow for his loss and of sympathy for his bereaved relatives. Mr Ramsay concluded by moving accordingly. The motion was agreed to.

225 William FLAVEL  21 Mar 1823  CAMBRIDGE CHRONICLE & JOURNAL: Cambridgeshire Assizes Concluded. William Flavell, aged 17, and Thomas Bowers, aged 15, stood charged with stealing ten pigeons from the dove house of Mr William Hall, of Landbeach. Mr Hall, the prosecutor, stated that on Monday the 24th of February last, in consequence of information he received from his servant Hinton, he went to his dovecote. The door was open but did not appear to have been forced. The pigeons were very much disturbed. Hinton found a sack containing eight dead pigeons and two live ones. He went in search of the robbers, and saw two lads in slop-frocks, about the size of the prisoners. On the Thursday following, they sent to prosecutor, who went to a house in the village. Witness produced the sack, and prisoners said that was the sack in which they took the pigeons out of the dovehouse. They confessed the fact to the Rev. Wm. Leworthy, the magistrate, who used no threat or promise. It appears that these two prisoners were encouraged in their depredations by two men in the neighbourhood, of the names of Taylor and Sanderson, who bought pigeons obtained in this manner at a penny a piece. The prisoners were found guilty, and sentenced to six months imprisonment. 
226 James Edmund FREEMANJames Edmund FREEMAN  23 Sep 1889  CAMBRIDGE DAILY NEWS: ST. IVES. Harvest Supper. On Saturday evening an indication of the wind-up of cropping operations, a harvest supper was held at the Woolpack Farm, belonging to Mr. J. E. Freeman, who has a large wholesale establishment in London. There were close upon 40 present, including Mr. M. Calpin (sic) and one or two other representative tradesman. Supper was served in one of the barns, which had been gaily and lavishly decorated for the occasion. Mr. Freeman presided, while Mr. Holley, manager and agent, occupied the vice-chair. The menu included a joint roast beef, weighing 47lbs, supplied by Mr. Hodson, of Elsworth, with an abundant supply of Yorkshire puddings and vegetables. The dessert was really a sight. There were pines, grapes, walnuts, all of choicest and best. The grand duchess pears, and apples from Novia (sic) Scotia were especially magnificent. The supply of confectionery was also unbounded. The beverages were light, plentiful, and of the best; "Bass's No. 1", Galloway's sparkling ale; Encore whisky, surrounded with every possible description of mineral water; cigars and tobacco followed in due order. The post-prandial proceedings were opened by the host, who, in hearty, earnest fashion, welcomed his employées on that occasion. This was suitably responded to Mr. Holley, on behalf the staff, when song and toast followed in rapid succession till 11 o'clock. Mr. Culpin sang one of his best songs in his usual style. For some time after this the roads to Fenstanton and Hemingford were stirred by merry songs from happy throats. The extent and success of this event would lead one to think that the good old times of harvest suppers are returning.

Both defendants pleaded not guilty. PC Brooke said that he saw the defendant Greenall on the day in question in charge of a horse attached to a cart, laden with about a ton and a half of coal, in Station-road, Waterbeach. His attention was drawn to the mare by a sack which was under the saddle, and he examined the animal, with the result that he found a large open wound upon the back under the saddle. The flesh was very much inflamed, and blood and matter were oozing from the wound. He produced the sack, upon which was a large blot of blood, The lad Greenall informed witness that his master knew of the condition of the mare, and that he told him to put the sacking over it, to prevent chafing. Subsequently witness saw Webb, who admitted that the horse had had a bad back for over a week. PS Salmon corroborated. Oliver Driver, Inspector of the RSPCA, said he examined the horse two days after the discovery, and found the wound as described, very much inflamed. The defendant Webb said the wound was a new one, and he did not think it was very bad. A fine of 10s and costs, was imposed on Webb, and 2s 6d without costs, upon Greenall.

To my mind, the finest skater I ever saw was the late Sid Greenall of Landbeach, whose death a few weeks ago removed from the sporting world a remarkable athlete.

244 William Dickerson GREENALL  2 Dec 1899  CAMBRIDGE DAILY NEWS: Disastrous Fire at Landbeach. Four Cottages, Shop, and Stable Burned to the Ground. SEVERAL HUNDRED POUNDS DAMAGE. Cambridgeshire villages have been prolific in fires of unusual magnitude during the twelve months, and Landbeach has now earned the distinction of having had a disastrous fire within its limits. In the absence of any soul-stirring events in the quiet little village, the fire, which occurred in the early hours of Friday morning, is a big event in its history, and with some reason for four cottages, a blacksmith's and wheelwright's shop, and a stable were burned completely out. The cottages, situate on the main road in the centre of the village, were the property of Mr Phillip Papworth, of Histon, and were occupied by Thomas Bowers, James Wagstaffe, J. Pont, and Widow White. Adjoining them was blacksmith's and wheelwright's shop, occupied by Mr William Greenall, licensee of the Red Cow public house. Luckily, as it turned out, building space in Landbeach is not at a premium, and the cottages and shop formed
A LITTLE GROUP by themselves, with a space of at least ten yards between them and any other dwelling house, otherwise the damage would assuredly have been much more extensive. How the fire was caused is, and is likely to remain, a matter of conjecture. Certain it is that it originated in the wheelwright's shop, and spread from there to the thatch of an adjoining cottage. About a quarter past three on Friday morning Mrs Bowers was awakened by her two-year-old daughter, who was unwell and very restless. There was a suspicion of smoke about the bedroom, and a smell of burning material. Mrs Bowers roused her husband with the words "I believe something's on fire." In a very short time the belief grew into a certainty, for the smoke in the room grew more dense, and Bowers slipped on his nether garments and slippers and descended the stairs. Though, as far as he could see, nothing was burning in his own house, there was a deal of smoke, and, running upstairs, he leaned out of the window, when he saw the shop in flames. Wagstaffe's cottage was the nearest to the burning building, and in a trice he and the other cottagers were informed of their danger. A scene of
WILD EXCITEMENT followed. The inhabitants of the cottages, so rudely awakened from their sleep, rushed into the road, some clad only in their night attire, others in whatever garments came nearest to hand. All the villagers were soon aroused by the shrieking of "Fire! Fire!" While the alarm was being given the fire was taking a good hold of the thatched roofs of the two nearest cottages with awful rapidity, and though some attempt was made to check it by pouring buckets of water on the flames, the impossibility of saving the buildings was soon recognised, and attention was turned to getting as much of the furniture out as possible. Wagstaffe's cottage was consumed with such rapidity that only a small portion of the domestic articles could be got out, and within a quarter of an hour of the alarm being given the roof fell in. Bowers, Pont, and Mrs White were slightly more successful in the matter of saving the furniture but in each case many articles had to be left behind, involving
SERIOUS LOSS TO THE COTTAGERS. The buildings were lath and plaster, and in an incredibly short time, the four cottages and the shop were one huge bonfire, making a spectacle, which the inhabitants speak of with something approaching awe, so impressive was it on that still, cold morning. The stable, situated at the rear of the houses, was embraced in the fire, but fortunately Mr Greenall's horse was taken out in time. There are other outbuildings near at hand, and the portions of these were saturated with water to such an extent that they escaped serious damage. No fire brigade was sent for; in fact, it was quite useless for before it could have arrived the cottages, shop, and stable were a mass of ruin. The morning broke on a strange scene. The band of villagers assembled in the road were watching the fire complete its work. All the roofs had long since fallen in, walls had toppled over, the wooden shop was level with the ground, and all that remained were the bare chimney stacks, surrounded by a mass of burning material. Supt. Webb, of Cambridge, and other members of the county constabulary had been sent for, but could give no assistance.
THE HOMELESS COTTAGERS
were received into the houses of relatives and neighbours. It is a singular, and perhaps fortunate, fact that only one child, the daughter of Bowers, was living in the houses. There is a firm belief that had it not been for this child's illness, and the mother's premature awakening in consequence, some of the unfortunate ones would have been burned in their beds. There is a great lack of cottage accommodation in Landbeach, and those turned out by the fire can nowhere find other houses to live in. One of the men said, lugubriously to our reporter, "There ain't no bloomin' houses for us at all here." No precise estimate of the damage has yet been made but is reckoned at several hundred pounds, and is covered by insurance.

THREE PEOPLE SHOT AT ST IVES
Man, wife and son dead
A man, his wife and a son were found shot dead at St Ives, Hunts, yesterday morning. Hearing a shot fired, neighbours entered the premises of Mr Frederick Harrison, a butcher, and found Mrs Harrison lying dead on the floor of the kitchen and Mr Harrison and his son Geoffrey lying dead in the yard. A sporting gun found near the father contained two empty cartridges, and two other discharged cartridges were found by the police.

The son, Geoffrey, appears to have been shot as he was about to leave the premises to go to his work at a local garage. The shot had penetrated a large wooden door.
Frederick Harrison, the husband, age 46, was the son of a former Mayor of St Ives. He saw service in the artillery in Mesopotamia, Italy, and Salonika, and had been a great sufferer from malaria since his return. His aged parents are still alive. His second wife, Florence Gertrude, the dead woman, was 28, and Geoffrey Harrison, her stepson, 17. A younger son, the only surviving, went on an errand a few minutes before the shooting. At that time, according to the boy, things seemed normal in the household. Coming back he discovered what had happened and fled to a relative in the town.

The Coroner has not yet fixed the time of the inquest.

Western Gazette, 8 July 1927:
WAR WORRIES REVEALED AT INQUEST. That Frederick Harrison, 46, butcher, St. Ives Hunts shot his wife and elder son and committed suicide while insane was the verdict at the inquest on the three persons on Tuesday. Bobbie, aged 11, the only survivor of the family, said he saw Geoffrey lying by the side of his cycle, wounded the head. "I shouted for help," said Bobbie, "and came towards the house calling 'mum.' I saw her lying the ground." Dr. Henry Harrison said his brother contracted malaria in the war. He was not allowed to return to civilian life for a year after the war, and preyed his mind. He felt his business was slipping away.

Exmouth & Plymouth Gazette, 6 July 1927:
ST. IVES TRAGEDY. MURDER AND SUICIDE. A verdict that Harrison committed suicide while temporarily insane, and murdered his wife and son was recorded at an inquest held at St. Ives, Huntingdonshire, yesterday, Frederick Harrison, 46, a local butcher, Florence Beatrice, 39, his second wife, and Geoffrey, 17, his elder son, who were found shot dead at their home at St. Ives Monday. Dr. Henry Harrison, with whom sat Bobbie, aged 11, the youngest son, and only survivor of the family, said his brother Frederick served during the war in Italy, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Salonica. Before the war he had good health, but contracted malaria, and when returned he felt his business was slipping away from him. He was not allowed to return civilian life for year after the war, and that preyed on his mind. Mrs. Ada Cooper, whose house overlooks Harrison's shop, said she heard two shots, and Harrison said I have shot a rat and laid it on the roof." Then there were two more shots. The Coroner called Bobbie Harrison to his side, and in a low voice read the statement made by the boy. Bobbie said his father sent him for some milk. When he returned, he saw Geoffrey lying by the side of his cycle, with part of his head missing. "I shouted for help." said Bobbie, "and came towards the house calling Mum? I saw her lying on the ground." Stating that he thought details should kept as brief as possible, the Coroner said tragedies had often occurred through people brooding over other tragedies which had taken place previously.

Nottingham Evening Post, 4 July 1927:
WIPED OUT. EX-SERVICEMAN TRIPLE SHOOTING TRAGEDY. triple tragedy occurred at St. Ives, Hunts., to-day.

A sporting gun found near the father contained two empty cartridges, and two other discharged cartridges were found the police. Mr. Harrison served abroad during the war. Harrison's second son, Bobbie, aged 14, was away from home at the time. He had been sent on an errand, and the tragedy was discovered on his return.

Harrison was popular man at St. Ives. He took over the business from his father on being demobilised after serving overseas. His family are described being "the essence of respectability.'' One of his brothers is a doctor and another a solicitor. Neighbours are at a loss explain the tragedy. The circumstances point to the husband firing the gun. Geoffrey's body was found near his motor cycle. The youth was in the habit of motor cycling to business about eight o'clock every morning, and as it was at about that time that shots were heard, no undue comment was excited because Geoffrey's machine usually produced noises not unlike exploding cartridges.
