J.NUNN. - Regret was felt and expressed on all sides throughout the village and district on Saturday, when the sad news became known that the death had taken place the previous evening of Mrs. J.Nunn, of Rectory Cottage, following a comparatively short illness of influenza and pneumonia. Of a thoughtful and kindly disposition, she had many friends, and most events in the village found in her a ready supporter. She had been a member of the Mothers' Union for many years. Mrs. Nunn, who was the sixth daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J.

Passing of Mr. "Bob" Nunn. Former Bury Town Footballer
It was with sincere regret that his many friends learned on Saturday morning that Robert James ("Bob") Nunn, of Bunters Road, Wickhambrook, had passed away. He died peacefully in his sleep. Youngest son of the late Mr and Mrs James Nunn, of Chedburgh, he had been in failing health for some time. During a long illness, patiently borne, he showed a cheerful spirit and he was bright to the very last.
Aged 32, he was immensely popular, for he was a fine sportsman. For some years he played football for the Bury Town Club-a back of considerable skill: all regretted that an unfortunate motor-cycle accident ended his playing career with the side. He had also played for the Chedburgh Club, of which he was captain, and the odl Brooke's XI. in the Bury Thursday League. He played cricket for Whepstead and Wickhambrook (being treasurer of this club), and was a prominet batsman and a more than useful bowler. He was a very keen gardener, and exhibited and won many prizes at the Wickhambrook Horticultural Show.
Hed was employed for over 12 years by Mr. J.Brooke, of Clopton Hall, helping to plant some of the first fruit trees on the estate, and later becoming a salesman and milk roundsman. Finally he filled the position of gardener, where his work was a source of admiration by all.
"Bob" has a fine type of British manhood, a sportsman with the best qualities, and his death at an early age is a real loss to the district. He leaves a widow, with whom much sympathy is expressed to her in her great loss.
THE FUNERAL
Amid signs of regret and sympathy, the funeral took place on Tuesday at Chedburgh Church, which Mr. Nunn had attended regularly as a boy, and had sung in the choir for many years. He lived at Chedburgh all his life up to the time he married, when he settled at Wickhambrook seven years ago.
The immediate mourners were: Mrs. R.Nunn (widow), Miss P.Nunn (sister), Mr F.*Nunn (brother), Mr and Mrs. G.Hardley (uncle and aunt), Mr John Nunn, Stowmarket (uncle), Mr G.Nunn (uncle), Mrs A.Pettit (aunt), Mr. A.Rolfe and Mrs T.Rolfe (cousins), Mrs Borley (mother-in-law), Mr and Mrs J.Borley (brother-in-law and sister-in-law), and others.
*Unless my research is incorrect, his only brother was Josiah so this is possibly a typo or there is some other explanation.
Also, the uncles mentioned G. (should it be C for Charles?) and John would be his mother's brothers (her maiden name was Nunn as well).
