In May the death occurred of Mrs. G. R. Heron, in the following month her
eldest son, Mr. Hubert Heron, passed away, and on Friday last her second
son, Mr. Charles Francis William Heron, died at Southall at the age of
sixty-one years. He had been in ill health for some long time. In his day
the late Mr. Heron was quite a renowned athlete. As a champion 120 yards

name for himself. He played for the Wanderers, and in the 1875-6 season,
when that club won the Association Cup, he was a member of the team. For
some years he has been carrying on business at Southall, and during this
time he closely identified himself with the work at St. George's Church."
