Another old and honoured resident of West Devon has passed away in the person of the Rev. E. Champion, who was for many years rector of the parish of Forth and Leven. Deceased has been in feeble health for some years and the end was not unexpected. Whilst he was rector of Forth and Leven he was respected as a thorough Christian gentleman. After leaving the Forth he was appointed Rector of St. John’s Launceston, residing there on the break-up of his health and retiring to his sons farm at Kindred. The deceased leaves a family, all of whom are grown up.

The funeral of the Rev. E. Champion, Church of England minister, took place at the Forth on Sunday. The deceased was highly respected and that fact, together with the sad circumstances preceding his death, led to a large number of people attending the funeral. Death took place the previous Friday, after an illness of about ten years duration, the result of an accident, and during the greater portion of that period the rev gentleman was almost helpless. At the time mentioned he was riding along the Don tramway, going to conduct service in a part of his parish, when by some means, not yet explained, he was unseated and was in a semi-conscious condition. From that time creeping paralysis set in. He was removed to Launceston, but, continuing to get worse instead of better, he had to retire from the church and since then has lived at the Forth. The Rev. Mr. De Coetlogon conducted the burial service and delivered an impressive address in the church. Deceased was 66 years of age and had been a widower for many years, but he leaves a grown up family. One son, also a clergyman, is head master of the Sydney Church of England Grammar School; another is manager of the Bank of Australasia in Ulverstone, while others are engaged in pastoral pursuits in New South Wales and West Australia. One daughter is married to Mr. James Fulton, brother to Mr. G. A. Fulton, police clerk at Devonport
