That the Wesleyans of the Bacup Circuit have contributed during the past twelve months for their local church purposes the magnificent sumo £10,000 is doubly gratify8ing, because it proves that Nonconformity is still vigorous in Bacup, and it also proves that, notwithstanding the out-cry of "hard times," neither Bacup employers nor their workpeople are in immediate danger of the financial embarrassment represented by the story of the widow's mite.
Extraordinary Longevity - A link with the past.
We have this week to record the death of one of the oldest inhabitants of the district - one who was born in the last century. We refer to the last Mrs Ann Hudson, relict of the late Richard Hudson of Underbank, who was interred at Bacup Cemetery on Wednesday last. She came of a family noted for their longevity, and was related to the Lords and Laws of Rossendale. She had a vivid recollection of her grandfather and grandmother, who were amongst those who went on Seat Nose, dressed in red cloaks, &c, so as to have the appearance of soldiers, when Prince Charlie passed through Lancashire, after the battle of Prestonpans, in the year 1745. She was the youngest of a family of seven, all of whom lived to upwards of 80 years of age, with the exception of one, who was killed in a coal pit. Her father and mother, grandfather and grandmother, all lived over 80 years, the average being 83 years One brother was in the Life Guards, and served in the Peninsular War, and also took part in the Battle of Waterloo, for which he obtained a medal. Another brother served in Canada during the east brush with America. The deceased was in her 90th year.
