Death? 3 Aug 1923 Leytonstone, Essex, EnglandWhipps Cross Hospital, Cause: Slashed wrists and gashes to the body by scissors after a final bender.

Suffered from Nephritis and stayed at home, was known as Uncle Beehive. He never married; lived with his parents until they died and then with his sister Lilian and her husband George Husher (Grannie and Pup Grandpa). He over indulged in strong spirits and had D.T.s. On his final binge, he attacked himself with scissors, slashing his wrists and gashing his body. Our mum, his niece, Ada May Husher, cleaned him up and attended his wounds until the ambulance arrived and he was taken to Whipps Cross Hospital where he died. (Comment by Auntie Paul - Pauline Kisky)
