Death of the Rev. S.J. Fraser.
The death is announced of the Rev. Simon James Gordon Fraser, formerly one of her late Majesty's Inspectors of Schools. Mr Fraser, who was 81 years of age, passed away at Malta on Wednesday last. He resided for many years at Bramblys, a house with meadows extending from Sarum Hill to Winchester Road. Latterly, the reverend gentleman's condition had been very feeble, and he had been away from his home at Bramblys for a considerable time. The deceased used occasionally to preach and read the Lessons in the Parish Church; in the chancel of which, on the north side, are two stained glass windows (each of three subjects) to the memory of his wife, Marion Worsley, who died in 1869 at the age of 28.

Simon married Marion Worsley COLVIN, daughter of The Hon. John Russell COLVIN and Emma Sophia SNEYD, on 27 May 1862 in Brighton St Nicholas, Sussex, England. (Marion Worsley COLVIN was born on 29 Sep 1841 in Calcutta, Bengal, India ¹ and died on 3 Dec 1869 in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England.)
