Obituary: The Leiston Observer

Death of Mr G. Harcourt of Saxmundham

A familiar figure at Suffolk and Norfolk markets, Mr George William Nelson Harcourt of Saxmundham, died at the Ipswich and East Suffolk Hospital on Thursday of last week, aged 82. Mr Harcourt went to Saxmundham about 23 years ago when his son, Mr Clive Harcourt, took over the butcher's business carried on by the late Mr Arthur J. Dalby. He had just retired from a similar business at Downham Market, in which he had been engaged for many years. He was well-known over a wide area, and judged at fat stock shows in Norfolk and at Ely and Wisbech. At Saxmundham he attended the local markets regularly buying on behalf of his son. During the war years he was appointed a Government grader (representing the butchers), and was also chairman of Saxmundham and District Butcher's Buying Committee. He frequently acted as judge of fat cattle and sheep at Saxmundham and other markets.

The funeral service was conducted by the Rector, the Rev. F. W. Moyle.

The mourners were Mrs G. Harcourt (the widow), Mr and Mrs C. Harcourt (son and daughter-in-law), Miss Harcourt (daughter), Mr and Mrs Moore, Mr and Mrs J. Peacock (daughters and sons-in-law), Mr B. Howling and Mr E. Howling (brothers-in-law).
