BREWER’S SON’S SACRIFICE
RENOUNCED £1,000,000. LIFE’S MISSION WORK ENDED. The brewer’s son who, as a young man, renounced the life of a millionaire’s heir to devote himself to East End mission and temperance work, Mr. Frederick Charrington, left £37,319, says the News-Chronicle. To the Tower Hamlets Mission, which had been the centre of his life for more than 60 years, he bequeaths £IO,OOO and the proceeds of sale of house property. The secretary of the mission, Mr. John Lawrence, and his assistant, Mr. Frederick Harding, receive £IOOO and £SOO respectively, and other members of the staff share £2OOO. Osea Island, Essex, on which stands the Mission’s convalescent home, is to follow a trust for the upkeep of the home.
