  By the death of Mr. C. U. Whear, of Chapel Terrace, Hayle, a notable personality has been taken from our midst. Mr Whear passed away peacefully at his residence on Thursday evening, after an illness which extended over some months.. With his ever bright and cheerful disposition, Mr. Whear spoke of his condition and the seriousness of it, but with courage he bore the illness without complaint, and it is with profound regret that we have to chronicle his death. He leaves a widow, daughter and two sons to mourn their loss, and sympathy will go out to the bereaved ones in their irreparable loss.
