BaggsMr.11th Sept. 1889:- Mr Baggs. We have had an unfortunate tragedy, as the wires informed you last week. Mr Baggs, the Inspector of the Southern Division of the town, by far the cleverest man among the subordinate police, was missing on the night of the 1st instant and nothing more was heard of him till the 3rd, when his body was found in the river. At first there were many suspicions of murder, as there are rowdy places in the Southern Division and he had been very active and smart in detecting crime of all sorts in that part of the town, but subsequently there seemed to be no reasonable doubt of his having committed suicide. No signs of unsoundness of mind were observed in him to onlookers, nor had he done anything peculiar previously, except to shave his moustache, which he said he had done as he was going to dress himself as a hpoongyi in hunting dacoits. The Mandalay Herald, with its usual carelessness and cruelty, said this was discovered as he was going for his morning cocktail, but the late Inspector was a teetotaler from conviction. It seems that he left his house with his pony and without his revolver, but soon sent his pony back, saying he would go on without it. He then passed a picket which he did not inspect as usual, and seems to have gone straight to the river, where he completely undressed, tied his clothes into a bundle and threw them into the water, but he left his little stick on the bank, which first showed where he had been. He then tied the chain he used for his pony loosely round his body and jumped in. The place he chose was a backwater and so the body and the clothes were found almost opposite the stick. The body was dreadfully swollen and unrecognizable except for the tattooing, as he had been tattooed like a Burman from the waist downwards. He left a will stating that he had been a Buddhist for ten years, that he wished his son to be brought up as a Buddhist and that he wished to be buried in the Buddhist manner. He left his wife and child all he had and the hpoongyis buried him with their accustomed rites.Rangoon Gazette - 1888 & 1889, Mandalay section

BeltonHorace Death - The last rites in connection with the sad case of drowning of Stoker Petty Officer Horace Belton were preformed last evening when the remains were consigned to their last resting place. The deceased was given a Naval funeral. At 4.30 p.m. a party of three officers and ninety-four men, including a firing party of 26, landed at Barr Street jetty and marched to the hospital where the body lay in the mortuary. Here the coffin, over which was placed the Union Jack, surmounted with a number of wreaths, was placed in the hearse and the cortege proceeded to Pazundaung Cemetery. The hearse was preceded by the firing party and followed by the remainder of the blue-jackets, while at the rear were a few members of the Royal Engineers, Police and civilians. There was no band but the ceremony was very impressive, the firing party carrying their rifles at the trail. At that hour, the members of the R.V.R. were on their way towards headquarters and as the cortege passed, these stood to attention. Others in motor cars saluted. At the Sule Pagoda Road crossing the traffic was stopped, while two European Sergeants of Police stood at the salute till the hearse had passed some distance on its way. At the cemetery there was a large concourse of Burmans and natives of India. Here the escort marched with reversed arms. The cortege was met by Rev'd. Cowper-Johnson, who officiated at the graveside. The coffin was borne to the grave by six of the deceased's comrades. The firing party was drawn up in double rank on the north, the remainder grouping themselves round the grave on the south, east and west. At the close of the service the customary volleys were fired, the bugle sounding between each volley. This was followed by the "Last Post." The escort then fixed bayonets and presented arms and the sad ceremony was brought to a close. The men then marched back to the jetty from where they returned to their ship by launch.Rangoon Times, 1915

By his persevering exertions, his holy example and impressive counsel, great advantages have arisen to the Church of Christ and not a few of his pupils have been brought to a saving knowledge of Divine Truth; some of them have already, it is hoped, presented themselves before the throne of God and the Lamb as part of their faithful teacher's crown and those who still survive, praying they may have grace practically to remember his exhortations and to walk in his steps, have erected this monument as a sincere, tho' slight expression of their great and lasting obligations to their much loved and respected tutor.

Campbell Colin S.Death - A wire received from Myitkyina dated 13.40 hrs. 5th inst. (5th Nov. 1915) from mile 688.9, was received at the Burma Railways Offices yesterday, stating that Mr Colin S. Campbell, the Dist. Engineer, Ywataung, had been drowned accidentally in a jheel while trying to save a trolleyman named Swajoo. The trolleyman was saved. The body was taken to Myitkyina. Full details of the accident have not yet been received, but apparently the fatal accident happened to the late Mr Campbell while out shooting in the Mu Valley. Mr Campbell was born on the 17th Aug. 1880. He was educated at King's College, London, from 1897 to 1900 when he won the prize offered by Prof. Henry Robinson for the best paper read before King's College Engineering Society during that year. From 1900 to 1902 he was an articled pupil to Messrs. Beesley Son & Nichols of Victoria St., Westminster. In 1903 he was appointed Resident Engineer at the Chertsey Main Drainage Works, a post he held till 1905 when he joined the Burma Railways Co. He came to Burma in September 1905 as Assistant Engineer, Rangoon Works Divn. and was engaged on the construction of the new traffic and loco. yards and round house at Malagon. Afterwards he was appointed first Assistant Engineer and placed in charge of the doubling of the line to Pegu and was next made Dist. Engineer in charge of doubling the line to Pyuntaza. He carried out the work of remodelling the Rangoon and Pazundaung station yards and also supervised the work of construction of the new Rangoon station buildings. He went on leave on the 27th June 1913 and on his return in May 1914 he was posted as Dist. Engineer, Ywataung a post he held at the time of his death. The deceased was extremely popular and when in Rangoon served on the committee of the Boat Club. He was a very fine man in a punt. He was a keen volunteer, fond of shooting and an acceptable soloist. He leaves a widow and four children, the eldest of whom id eleven years of age, who are at Home. A facile writer of the humorous type, he contributed several sketches to this paper and was also a light lyricist of no mean order.Rangoon Times, 1915
Campbell Capt.30th May 1889:- Capt. Campbell and Mr Simons. There was not much of a tamasha on the Queen's birthday. There was the usual military parade minus the Volunteers, the weather not being conducive to great physical exertion except under order. In the evening there was a successful dance in the Volunteer Hall, given by the Sergeants R.A. and R.E. The extension and attraction of the Hall showed to advantage and added much to the convenience of the party. The Volunteers have been unfortunate in losing two of their number by death in Mandalay in one day. On Thursday morning Inspector Campbell of the River Police died and in the evening Mr Simons, the Engineer of the Brewery. This last death was sudden and quite unexpected. Both were buried by the Volunteers with Military honors. Apropos of the Brewery, Messrs. Dyer and Co. were good enough to give the soldiers in garrison an extra pint of beer all round on the Queen's Birthday, which no doubt tended to improve the hilarity usual in Barracks on that occasion and to give satisfaction to the men.

Cather Major 28th July 1889: The week began badly by the death of poor Major Cather, which took many by surprise, as the news of his illness itself had not spread far about the place. He died just after I had sent off my last letter in which I noted that he was very ill and just in time for the news to reach General Gordon on his arrival at the railway station. The popularity of the dead soldier was evinced by the numbers that attended his funeral and the respect universally felt for his talents and the excellent work he had done ever since the occupation, by the presence of the Chief Commissioner, the Major General Commanding and of every available officer of standing in the place. Few officers are in Upper Burma now who have done more for the making of the province than he did. Wherever there was solid useful work to be done; whether looking for the transport of troops; arranging for the defenses of the Cantonments and forts, or the comfort and proper housing of those who were to dwell in them; or making things practicable in far away expeditions on the Chin and Bhamo frontiers; Major Cather was sure to be at the back of much that was successfully effected. He was the right hand man of General White in many an important business and many a humble soldier has been the unconscious recipient of benefits which were the result of his schemes.

ClarkJuliet Nov. 15th 1944 - Sister Juliet Rachel Clark of Rawalpindi was born in Moulmein, Burma on July 20th 1873 and passed to her rest in the Lady Hardinge hospital in New Delhi on October 24th 1944. Sister Clark accepted the truth in Rawalpindi while Pastor Collett was conducting a series of lecturers there in 1940. From that time the truth has been very precious to her and she did all she could in her quiet way to reveal it to others. She as very active in her church duties and took special delight in playing the piano for the services until some months ago when her health began to fail. Her sons and daughters did all that loving hands could do to make her last days comfortable and peaceful;. Her daughter, Mrs Dady, lives here in Delhi so they brought her to the Lady Hardinge hospital hoping she would regain her health but the Lord saw best to call her to her rest until He returns. She leaves to mourn their loss, two sons in Rawalpindi, one daughter in Karachi, a daughter in England and one in Delhi. Pastor Torkelson of Hapur conducted the service, bringing comfort to the bereaved through the words of the Master and we are confident that she will be amongst those who will come forth in the first resurrection.Eastern Tidings - S.D.A. magazine

Her love and devotion to her family were recognised not only by her loves ones but by all who knew her. While she rests from her labours the inspiration of this godly life lives on and will continue to be a great blessing to her loved ones and the many friends who mourn their great loss. Our Sister was laid to rest in the Lower Circular Road Cemetery, Calcutta. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. The welcome call of the Life-giver will soon be heard.

DarwoodCharlesJune 15th 1942 - Donald D. Lonsdale died on May 13th 1942 at the Mayo hospital, Nagpur from cerebral malaria after an illness of only one day. His wife and children had been ill following their trek from Burma. He did his best in caring for them and probably got sunstroke as Nagpur was extremely hot at that time. His sisters Rose and Elsie were with him at the last. His wife and three children are left without his comfort and help. She was baptised in the Irrawaddy river shortly before they were forced to leave Burma. Brother Donald had been a student at Vincent Hill School many years ago. Immediately following his funeral, the uncle, Charles Darwood, whom we knew as U Chit Hla, was taken to the same hospital and died on May 18th 1942. Although he had passed his eightieth birthday, he made the difficult walk over the hills to Imphal and had reached Nagpur in apparent good health. The extreme heat and the death of his nephew combined to hasten his death. He was greatly beloved by those who knew him. Many have been baptised because he laboured patiently with them. He was among the first converts baptised by Pastor Votaw when the work was begun in Burma. He spend some years with Pastor Hamilton in opening up the work on the Salween. He also worked with the late Pastor Beckner in the Henzada district.Eastern Tidings - S.D.A. magazine

Fforde Theodore F.12th Nov. 1888:- Theodore F. Fforde. We were all startled at the beginning of the week by the news of the death of Mr Fforde at Sagaing, which came upon us with great sadness, with startling suddenness on most of us, as the first intimation in the majority of cases was the usual funeral notice:- The friends of the late Theodore Featherstonhaugh Fforde etc. It was originally arranged that he should be buried at 9.30 a.m. but it did not appear possible to bring his body up from Sagaing in time. Consequently there was a good deal of confusion as to the hour and the place to attend the funeral. The body eventually arrived at the shore at about 8 a.m. and was taken straight to the cemetery in C. Road. Mr Fforde was of course well known to many leading Burmans, so that all sections of the community were present at the burial to do honor to him that did so much for Mandalay in the first days of the British occupation. He seems to have died instantly and without warning by the bursting of an aneurism of the aorta; the aneurism being of that class which causes no inconvenience to the sufferer and of course gives no warning of its existence to him or others, until it bursts and instantly destroys him. This fresh burial in the old town cemetery in C. Road once more calls attention to its condition. Unfenced, unkept, unpleasant, it is all that a cemetery should not be and much that an Indian cemetery as described by poor Ali Baba in his imitable Twenty-one days two of ten is. It is moreover becoming over crowded. Really it is time that something more than desultory efforts were made to replace it by something becoming to ourselves as a nation.Rangoon Gazette - 1888 & 1889, Mandalay section

HancockGeorge GarfieldDeath-We deeply regret to announce the death by accidental drowning of Mr George Garfield Hancock, a well known local barrister, which took place this morning in the Rangoon river. Mr Hancock was the guest of the Chief Engineer Mr Mackinder of the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company's Bassein steamer "Bandoola." He was also a friend of Capt. Coutts and had been visiting the latter, as Capt, Coutts who was joined the Royal Indian Marines is leaving very shortly for the Persian Gulf. Early this morning Mr Hancock, while out on deck, fell overboard. There were only some natives about at the time and it was slack water. Apparently no alarm was raised and when one of the European officers on board was informed of the sad occurrence it was of course, too late to render any aid. Up to the time of writing the body had not been recovered. The late Mr Hancock was a very promising barrister and his parents, originally of Penarth and now of Brockweit, Glostershire, are very highly respected in South Wales, where Mr Hancock was equally well known. He was called to the Bar at the Middle Temple in 1911 and practised for a short time in the South Wales circuit. He threw himself heart and soul into the political activities in South Wales at the time, being one of a number of political speakers on behalf of the Young Liberals League in various constituencies in South Wales and elsewhere. In April 1912 he came out to Burma as a partner of Mr W. Ashley Gregory and continued a member of that firm till a few months ago when Mr Hancock started practice on his own account. His career in Burma was a distinctly promising one. He married in March 1913, a young Gravesend lady, Miss Hart, the wedding taking place at St. Philip's Church, Brooking Street. Mrs Hancock went home last year and great sympathy will be felt with her in her bereavement. Sympathetic reference was made to the sad death of Mr G.G. Hancock at..the Court of the Western Sub-divisional Magistrate.Rangoon Times, 1915

HernandezLeonLeon Hernandez - c. 1870 - M. Frassinet (of Marseilles) Managed by Leon Hernandez, who continued in employment after it was sold in 1870 to Messrs. Gillanders and became the Burma Company. Among the assets were certain grants of forestry rights made by the Government of the province and the practice then was, as now, (1938) that a forestry officer marked with a hammer those teak trees that might be cut down, while the actual felling was done by Burmese labour paid by the firm, which made advance payments to its employees and adjusted the accounts of the foresters after the logs had been floated down the Pegu river to the Government Timber Depot and the necessary royalty had been paid. When the new Company sent its foresters to commence felling, it was found that the forestry officer, by name Graham, had neglected to mark any trees and the foresters went to Graham and bribed him with, it is said, the sum of £2,000 to lend them his official hammer, with which they proceeded to mark as many trees as they wanted. But unfortunately many of the trees which were thus unlawfully hammer-marked were not fit for felling and when they were placed in the water they sank. The foresters therefore lighted fires under the immature logs to dry them out, but when this timber reached the Forest Depot the situation was at once perceived. All the Company's logs, good or bad, were then confiscated; and the Company not only lost its timber but also fined the amount of the royalty and in addition was unable to recover its advances from the employees. An order for Graham's arrest was issued, but he fled the country. The result of this unfortunate incident was that the Burma Company went into liquidation. The reason for the severity with which Government treated the Company was that its manager, Hernandez, was strongly suspected of complicity in the crime and colour was lent to this suspicion by his suicide soon afterwards.A History of Rangoon, by B.R. Pearn, published 1939

KiddleMajorTroubles on our Frontier - Rising of the War's. Two Officers Killed. The following Press note was issued on Tuesday:- Mr Scott wires that on the 9th instant Major Kiddle, R.A.M.C. and Mr Sutherland, Extra Asst. Commissioner, who were on duty with the Boundary Commission, were murdered at Monghem. Mr Litton, Consul for Szumao, who was also on duty with the Commissioner was wounded. Mr Litton's wound is painful but not severe. The bodies of Major Kiddle and Mr Sutherland have been recovered. Mr Scott wires that he will concert measures for punishment with General Liu. No further particulars have been received. The exact locality of Monghem is unknown. It is probably about longitude 99-15 and latitude 23-30. In introducing the above to the reading public the Rangoon Gazette, on Wednesday, remarks that a very serious outrage was perpetrated on the 9th instant, Major Kiddle, R.A.M.C. in medical charge of the British portion of the Burmo-Chinese Boundary Commission and Mr A.B. Sutherland, Extra Asst. Commissioner, on special duty with the Commission, being killed and Mr G.J.L. Litton, Her Majesty's Consul at Szumao wounded. No details have been received beyond the fact that the crime took place at Monghem, which is not marked on any maps but which is presumably in long. 99-15 E and lat. 23.30 N. It is not stated by whom the attack was made, but there can be no doubt it was by the Las or Wild Wa's, who recently attacked Mr Bagshawe's railway survey party not far from Kunlong. Mr Litton's injury is painful but not dangerous. The bodies of Major Kiddle and Mr Sutherland have been recovered. Mr Scott, the British Commissioner and General Liu, the Chinese Cpmmissioner, are concerting measures for the punishment of the guilty parties. Major Walter Kiddle was a few days short of 36 years of age and had nearly fourteen years service with the Royal Army Medical Corps. Mr A.B. Sutherland was thrity years of age and had nearly eleven years service. He was appointed Inspector of Police in 1889 and three years ago was appointed Extra Asst. Commissioner. He had been stationed in the S. Shan States for some time and was attached to the Boundary Commission as Political Officer in Nov. last. Mr Bagshaw,(sic) who was surveying for the Mandalay Kunlon Railway, was attacked on the 8th instant at 10 p.m. in his camp on the west bank of the river Salween some 22 miles south of the Kunlon ferry by 500 Las from the east of the Salween. One of Mr Bagshawe's (sic) escort was killed and two were wounded. One of the Las was killed. Mr Bagshawe's tent was looted. Military Police have been sent from Hopang to Kunlon to escort the whole of the railway survey party to Hopang where a strong force of Military Police is stationed. Further news has been received from Mr Scott that the Las burnt certain Shan villages notwithstanding the ptesence of Chinese troops. Mr Scott has summoned the Military Police Reserve from Hopang to his assistance. Capt. French-Mullen is starting at once with 180 rifles and hopes to join Mr Scott at Mongkaw on the 19th. A telegram from the Boundary Commission Camp via Lashio gives some additional particulars of the murderous attack on Major Kiddle , Mr Sutherland and Mr Litton. It says Major Kiddle and Messrs. Sutherland and Litton visited Mongtum (sic) bazaar yesterday (i.e. 9th instant) with a small Chinese escort. They were attacked by Las who murdered Major Kiddle and Mr Sutherland and wounded Mr Litton slightly. Mr Litton returned to camp in the evening. One man of the escort also returned wounded. Major Saunders, Durham Light Inf. with Lt. Heath and thirty eight men stayed the night at Mongtum having recovered the bodies.The Times of Burma, 1900

LonsdaleFrederickDec. 1st 1944 - Brother Frederick Lonsdale of Burma passed away to his rest in Jesus on November 29th 1944 at his home in Amraoti. He was just a month short of his seventy-seventh birthday. He bore his long illness of two and a half years with wonderful Christian patience. Baptised about thirty-seven years ago in Burma he laboured ceaselessly for the Lord and the people of his homeland until his evacuation with his family due to the war. He was laid to rest with full confidence and assurance in the first resurrection and leaves behind him three daughters, a son, a daughter-in-law and a son-in-law to mourn. We extend our condolence and sympathies to these bereaved ones. Eastern Tidings - S.D.A. magazine

LonsdaleDonald D.June 15th 1942 - Donald D. Lonsdale died on May 13th 1942 at the Mayo hospital, Nagpur from cerebral malaria after an illness of only one day. His wife and children had been ill following their trek from Burma. He did his best in caring for them and probably got sunstroke as Nagpur was extremely hot at that time. His sisters Rose and Elsie were with him at the last. His wife and three children are left without his comfort and help. She was baptised in the Irrawaddy river shortly before they were forced to leave Burma. Brother Donald had been a student at Vincent Hill School many years ago. Immediately following his funeral, the uncle, Charles Darwood, whom we knew as U Chit Hla, was taken to the same hospital and died on May 18th 1942. Although he had passed his eightieth birthday, he made the difficult walk over the hills to Imphal and had reached Nagpur in apparent good health. The extreme heat and the death of his nephew combined to hasten his death. He was greatly beloved by those who knew him. Many have been baptised because he laboured patiently with them. He was among the first converts baptised by Pastor Votaw when the work was begun in Burma. He spend some years with Pastor Hamilton in opening up the work on the Salween. He also worked with the late Pastor Beckner in the Henzada district.Eastern Tidings - S.D.A. magazine

MainstoneFrankFeb. 15th 1943 - Frank Mainstone was born in Cawnpore in 1897. His early education was acquired at St. Fidel's school. Later he attended Manor House at Mussoorie where he finished his colleges studies. During the Great War he joined the transport corps in connection with which work he was stationed at Poona where he learned the advent truth and accepted it in 1924. The following year he bought himself out of the army and was baptised by Pastor G.F. Enoch. For a year or more he employed himself as a colporteur. While thus engaged he accepted a call to serve as assistant accountant in our division office as secretary-treasurer of the Burma Union and of the Northeast Union until five or six years ago, after which he made his home in Rangoon until war came to Burma. Early in 1942 Mr Mainstone was called into the army as accountant in Rangoon. Shortly thereafter the forces removed to north Burma, but were later compelled to withdraw to India. The retreat through the jungles and mountains of north Burma, involving strenuous treks, privation, hunger, sickness and other great hardships, brought the lives of many to an end. Among these was Mr Mainstone, who succumbed to fatigue and exhaustion. He died in a camp at Shinbwiyang on the 9th June 1942. According to reports from military officers, he received as much care and attention as could be administered in a village camp. During his illness he realised that his end was approaching and wrote to Mrs Mainstone exhorting her to be faithful to the principles of present truth. Though he had not been connected with our work for a number of years, he still seemed to cherish the memories of his first association with it and to love the message. In suburban Rangoon he was pleased to have his home used as a place of worship and for Sabbath services for the little group that lived in the community and once remarked to Mrs Mainstone that no doubt God had led them to hire the spacious living quarters for this purpose. His last letter to Mrs Mainstone seemed to show that he went to his long rest with peace of heart and mind.Eastern Tidings - S.D.A. magazine

O'DowdaMr. 22nd April 1888:- Lt. Williamson and Mr O'Dowda. A sad and serious story comes from Myotha in Ava (now Sagaing Dist.) of the death of two promising young officer, Lt. Williamson of the R.M. Fusiliers and Mr O'Dowda of the Police. It is very difficult to get hold of the real story as both officers were killed and many wild rumours and tales are told everywhere about the occurrence. It seems that Lt. Williamson had been patrolling the district for about three weeks daily and on the morning of the 4th he went out with Mr O'Dowda and nine R.M. Fusiliers Mounted Infantry under a native officer. He got information as to the whereabouts of Boh Shwe Yan's camp and went for it. They then got into very thick jungle and by the banks of a nullah they shot 5 dacoits and then came up to the camp. From this a heavy fire was poured on them and they charged the camp. Lt. Williamson was first wounded and then shot dead two Fusiliers were killed and one wounded and Mr O'Dowda was killed also. The remainder of the Fusiliers got away. Where the Native Police were has not yet been ascertained but it seems certain that only the two officers and Mounted Infantry were present at the attack on the camp.

Palmer - 10th Dec. 1888:- Going and coming are still the order of the day.  The Cheshire Regt. from Bhamo is in the Station and will be here for a fortnight pending its departure for England.  Mr Richard is back from the Ruby Mines and Bernardmyo and Major Kellie of the Commissariat from Bhamo while Col. Clark-Kenne has started to join the Chin expedition.  This seems to be in a fair way to be something more than a mere walk over as my telegram will have shown you, for poor young Palmer of the R.E. is already dead.  It is only the other day since he was amongst us as full of life as any other youngster of his years.  It seems that a stockade was being built about 9 miles from Kleambat and he strayed into the jungles away from his men.  The Chins must have been following pretty closely about for he was at once shot down.  He was hit somewhere about the groin and died last night.  Young Tulloch of his own Company has already gone to supply his place in a great state of delight at having his chance of being shot at.Rangoon Gazette - 1888 & 1889, Mandalay section

SimonsMr.Deaths. 30th May 1889:- Capt. Campbell and Mr Simons. There was not much of a tamasha on the Queen's birthday. There was the usual military parade minus the Volunteers, the weather not being conducive to great physical exertion except under order. In the evening there was a successful dance in the Volunteer Hall, given by the Sergeants R.A. and R.E. The extension and attraction of the Hall showed to advantage and added much to the convenience of the party. The Volunteers have been unfortunate in losing two of their number by death in Mandalay in one day. On Thursday morning Inspector Campbell of the River Police died and in the evening Mr Simons, the Engineer of the Brewery. This last death was sudden and quite unexpected. Both were buried by the Volunteers with Military honors. Apropos of the Brewery, Messrs. Dyer and Co. were good enough to give the soldiers in garrison an extra pint of beer all round on the Queen's Birthday, which no doubt tended to improve the hilarity usual in Barracks on that occasion and to give satisfaction to the men.

SutherlandMr.Troubles on our Frontier - Rising of the War's. Two Officers Killed. The following Press note was issued on Tuesday:- Mr Scott wires that on the 9th instant Major Kiddle, R.A.M.C. and Mr Sutherland, Extra Asst. Commissioner, who were on duty with the Boundary Commission, were murdered at Monghem. Mr Litton, Consul for Szumao, who was also on duty with the Commissioner was wounded. Mr Litton's wound is painful but not severe. The bodies of Major Kiddle and Mr Sutherland have been recovered. Mr Scott wires that he will concert measures for punishment with General Liu. No further particulars have been received. The exact locality of Monghem is unknown. It is probably about longitude 99-15 and latitude 23-30. In introducing the above to the reading public the Rangoon Gazette, on Wednesday, remarks that a very serious outrage was perpetrated on the 9th instant, Major Kiddle, R.A.M.C. in medical charge of the British portion of the Burmo-Chinese Boundary Commission and Mr A.B. Sutherland, Extra Asst. Commissioner, on special duty with the Commission, being killed and Mr G.J.L. Litton, Her Majesty's Consul at Szumao wounded. No details have been received beyond the fact that the crime took place at Monghem, which is not marked on any maps but which is presumably in long. 99-15 E and lat. 23.30 N. It is not stated by whom the attack was made, but there can be no doubt it was by the Las or Wild Wa's, who recently attacked Mr Bagshawe's railway survey party not far from Kunlong. Mr Litton's injury is painful but not dangerous. The bodies of Major Kiddle and Mr Sutherland have been recovered. Mr Scott, the British Commissioner and General Liu, the Chinese Commissioner, are concerting measures for the punishment of the guilty parties. Major Walter Kiddle was a few days short of 36 years of age and had nearly fourteen years service with the Royal Army Medical Corps. Mr A.B. Sutherland was thirty years of age and had nearly eleven years service. He was appointed Inspector of Police in 1889 and three years ago was appointed Extra Asst. Commissioner. He had been stationed in the S. Shan States for some time and was attached to the Boundary Commission as Political Officer in Nov. last. Mr Bagshaw,(sic) who was surveying for the Mandalay Kunlon Railway, was attacked on the 8th instant at 10 p.m. in his camp on the west bank of the river Salween some 22 miles south of the Kunlon ferry by 500 Las from the east of the Salween. One of Mr Bagshawe's (sic) escort was killed and two were wounded. One of the Las was killed. Mr Bagshawe's tent was looted. Military Police have been sent from Hopang to Kunlon to escort the whole of the railway survey party to Hopang where a strong force of Military Police is stationed. Further news has been received from Mr Scott that the Las burnt certain Shan villages notwithstanding the presence of Chinese troops. Mr Scott has summoned the Military Police reserve from Hopang to his assistance. Capt. French-Mullen is starting at once with 180 rifles and hopes to join Mr Scott at Mongkaw on the 19th. A telegram from the Boundary Commission Camp via Lashio gives some additional particulars of the murderous attack on Major Kiddle, Mr Sutherland and Mr Litton. It says Major Kiddle and Messrs. Sutherland and Litton visited Mongtum (sic) bazaar yesterday (i.e. 9th instant) with a small Chinese escort. They were attacked by Las who murdered Major Kiddle and Mr Sutherland and wounded Mr Litton slightly. Mr Litton returned to camp in the evening. One man of the escort also returned wounded. Major Saunders, Durham Light Inf. with Lt. Heath and thirty eight men stayed the night at Mongtum having recovered the bodies.The Times of Burma, 1900

TarletonGladysJan. 1st 1945 - Mrs Gladys Weldon Tarleton died in Dehra Dun on November 23rd 1944 after a protracted illness. Our sister was fifty-eight years of age. She will be remembered in connection with the Seventh-day Adventists Nursing Home at Maymyo of which she was the Sister-in-charge for many years. At the time of the evacuation of Burma she came to India and by her industry and hard work built up a splendid business in Dehra Dun that provided her and her brother, Mr Hall-Jones, with a comfortable home. Mrs Tarleton lived to please God. In spite of great opposition she accepted the truth and lived as a faithful Seventh-day Adventist and bore an excellent testimony of her abounding faith in the message and hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ. One of her favourite hymns was sung as the procession entered the cemetery. "There'll be no dark valley when Jesus comes" and volunteers from the one hundred people present united in singing the joyful anthem.Eastern Tidings - S.D.A. magazine

WalkerMr.Sin Gaging - "... Paleik was the scene of internal disturbances in the last Anglo-Burmese war. After annexation, in December 1885, the Myinzaing Prince engaged a British force at Kanthit and Kyetmya, but afterwards took flight to Yakainggyi in the then Sawhla township. Dacoities in the years that followed were frequent. Mr Walker of the Bombay Burma Trading Corporation was attacked and murdered at Nyaungbingyi. Subsequently Bo Kyaw Zaw of Sunye became a dacoit leader and terrorized the district and in spite of constant pursuits was never captured. Organised dacoity ceased in the township in 1888."Gazetteer of U. Burma and Shan States 1901, compiled from Official Papers by J. George Scott

Watson.   A.G7th July 1889:- A.G. Watson. The week began by the death of Mr Watson of the Bombay Burma Co. which took us all by surprise for though it was known that he was ill with typhoid fever, it was generally understood that he had much improved and was in a fair way of getting well again. But on Sunday evening the disease took a sudden turn for the worse and he died in a couple of hours afterwards. His funeral, which was largely attended, was of that unpleasant type so common here in the Civil Cemetery. There are at present no proper arrangements for interring the dead here; the carrying of the coffin is not an edifying sight; the graves are dug in a fashion that is not English; and the method of lowering the coffin is such that there is almost always some contretemps of a disagreeable nature. Surely it is time we subscribe or did something towards procuring a decent trolly for the coffin and towards instructing the native grave-diggers in the mode of digging European graves. We are always subscribing to something here and why not to so laudable an object as this? The least those who live on can do is to bury their friends who are not so fortunate in as decent a manner as possible. It is for the clergy to move in this matter. Why don't they do it?Rangoon Gazette - 1888 & 1889, Mandalay section

WhiteSamuelAn English tombstone, the cherished possession of a washer-man, was recently discovered at Mergui, inscribed with the following legend:- ... relyeth in ...... body of M ... ...Sam Wh... ... this lif ... ... doni 168 ... for meus vivit ergores. It has been deciphered by Mr Grant-Brown, the Deputy Commissioner, as follows:- Here lyeth in peace the body of Master Saml White who departed this life Anno Domini 1687. Redemptor Meus vivit ergo Resurgam. Samuel White, however, lived to pursue his campaign against the East India Company several years later in London; and this tombstone therefore either does not relate to him or else it was erected under a mis-apprehension.​Burma Gazetteer

WilliamsonLt. 22nd April 1888:- Lt. Williamson and Mr O'Dowda. A sad and serious story comes from Myotha in Ava (now Sagaing Dist.) of the death of two promising young officer, Lt. Williamson of the R.M. Fusiliers and Mr O'Dowda of the Police. It is very difficult to get hold of the real story as both officers were killed and many wild rumours and tales are told everywhere about the occurrence. It seems that Lt. Williamson had been patrolling the district for about three weeks daily and on the morning of the 4th he went out with Mr O'Dowda and nine R.M. Fusiliers Mounted Infantry under a native officer. He got information as to the whereabouts of Boh Shwe Yan's camp and went for it. They then got into very thick jungle and by the banks of a nullah they shot 5 dacoits and then came up to the camp. From this a heavy fire was poured on them and they charged the camp. Lt. Williamson was first wounded and then shot dead two Fusiliers were killed and one wounded and Mr O'Dowda was killed also. The remainder of the Fusiliers got away. Where the Native Police were has not yet been ascertained but it seems certain that only the two officers and Mounted Infantry were present at the attack on the camp.
