Farewells
In this 42 nd edition of the “Grampound Times” I record our sad farewells to:
MRS. ESME JARRETT, J.P. of Oak Vale, Grampound, who died on the 15 th April 2006. Her Funeral Service was held at Creed Parish Church on the 25 th April and was followed by a private family Cremation Service at Penmount Crematorium Truro. Throughout her life, and since moving to Grampound some 4 years ago, Mrs. Jarrett was a supporter of many aspects of community life, and at the time of her death had just commenced a second term of office as a popular President of the Grampound Women’s Institute where she is greatly missed.
MR. ARTHUR GEOFFREY COLEMAN . A resident of our neighbouring village of Sticker, Geoff was known to many here as a previous player over many seasons for our football club. When his playing days were over he returned many times to officiate as an official referee for League games. He was a great servant to Cornish football, refereeing long beyond the years when many would have retired and always maintaining an active interest in the game promoting and supporting referees throughout.
