IN MEMORIAM
"WESTERN OBSERVER, November 22, 1923 (p4c5)
MRS. PETER WERE. The many friends of Mrs. Margaretta Were, of Bradford Farm, Tiverton, heard with sincere regret of her death, which took place on Wednesday at the age of 66. Mrs. Were was a representative of one of the oldest yeoman families in the district, and her husband, who predeceased her in January, 1909, was one of the best known and most successful farmers in the district. He will be remembered as a keen supporter of the late Sir John Amory’s Harriers: hospitality at Bradford Farm, where the family have been for over 40 years, was proverbial. The funeral at Halberton Church on Saturday afternoon was largely attended, Mrs. Were being buried in a grave next to that of her husband in the north-east portion of the churchyard. The service was conducted by the Rector, the Rev. D. S. Evans, and the family mourners were Mr. P. Were (son), Miss Hilda Were (daughter), Mr. C. Were (Greenlynch), Mr. R.

Hutchinson, Mrs. Bishop and Mrs. Collins. The coffin was of polished oak with brass mountings, and bore the inscription: “Margaretta Were, died Nov. 14th, 1923, aged 66.” Among those at the graveside were Mr. R. Cook, Crazelowman; Mr. S. W.
