Loss to Labour Movement – Funeral of Mr. Leonard Bourton
Clutton has suffered a great loss in the death, after a very brief illness, at the early age of 27, of Mr. Leonard Bourton, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Bourton of Maynard Terrace, Clutton.
He was a well-known figure in the Labour Movement and in the North Somerset Branch of the Anti-War Movement.
The funeral took place in St. Augustine’s Church, Clutton. Mr H. Taviner, of High Littleton, was at the organ.
The chief mourners were Mr. J. Bourton (father), Mr. B. Bourton (brother), Messrs. Frank Bourton, W. Thornbury (uncles), Messrs. J. Church, E. Church and L. Bourton (cousins), Mr. and Mrs. G. Challenger, Messrs. W. Ford, Fred Evans, Farnham Bailey, Bert Tiley, A. Tiles and Jack Church.
The Clutton Labour Party were represented by Messrs. H. Stevens, W. Shengold and E. Heal; the North Somerset Anti-War Committee by Mr. A. Hooke, the Independent Labour Party by Alwyn Lockyer, Maynard Young and Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Young the Miners’ Welfare Committee by Mr. W. J. Carter.
The bearers were fellow members of the Miners’ Welfare Institute : Messrs. Arthur Church, Tony Church, Luther Edwards and Arthur Cox.
Mr. Wilfred Young, speaking at the graveside, said he wished to pay a farewell tribute to Leonard Bourton on behalf of the Labour and Socialist Movement, of which he had been a member and a hard worker for many years. In their associations with him they always found him reserved and sensitive, but equally strong in his convictions, to which he firmly held. It was these qualities which made him a strong character.
Those that knew him best, realised that they had lost a friend and a brother. His mode of living was different in many ways from most of us. He sought friendship more in books than in human society, more in solitudes of nature than in everyday life of the world, but the knowledge he acquired was never used to further his own interests, but was contributed towards helping to build a society which would be something like an earthly paradise for all.
“Thus, we say farewell to our brother with feelings of grief and with deep sympathy for his family, inspired by the memory of his life and with renewed determination to build the kind of society in which he fervently believed,” said Mr. Young.
