Mr Jelfs had been a market gardener all his life, and for many years had lived with his wife and family in their house in Chapel Street opposite the Police Station. A stranger to ill health all his life, his illness 18 months ago came as a bitter blow, forcing him to cut down on his outdoor work. Like most gardeners of his generation, he found compulsory retirement a severe restriction. We send our deepest condolences to Mrs Jelfs and the family in their bereavement.
