 Mercy Sudall (nee Haworth) (20 Apr 1840 to 2 Dec 1911)
Death of Mrs John Sudall
Link in an Old Oswaldtwistle Family
The death occurred on Saturday at Blackpool of Mercy, relict of the
late Mr. John Sudall, formerly of Union road, Oswaldtwistle. Mrs Sudall
was in her 72nd year, lived in Oswaldtwistle up to 1892, where her husband
carried on business as a plumber. They then removed to Blackpool, where
Mr. Sudall died some nine years ago. Latterly Mrs Sudall resided with
one of her five sons, Mr. Richard Sudall. The eldest of the five is
Mr. J.R. Sudall, who occupies the shop in Tinker Brow, where his father
formerly carried on business.
By the death of Mrs Sudall another link with the past is severed. She
was a daughter of the late James Haworth, one of the pioneers of Wesleyanism
in Oswaldtwistle and a local preacher for over 50 years. Her eldest
brother, the late William Haworth, chemist and druggist, was also a
local preacher for 40 years. The late Mr. John Haworth, C.C., was a
cousin of the deceased and the name Haworth is inseparable from the
early days of Methodism in Oswladtwistle. Whan a girl Mrs Sudall attended
the Wesleyan school, then held in the Old buildings at Mill Hill, and
she sang in the choir when the music was led by string instruments.
She was also a member of the choir at Mount Pleasant Wesleyan Church,
a choir which in former days had quite a big reputation locally, and
it is interesting to note that to-day one of her grandchildren is a
member of the same choir. In her younger days she was a millner and
dressmaker in Union-road.
The remains will be interred at Mount pleasant tomorrow (Wednesday)
at two o'clock.
