It is with deep sorrow that we have to record the death of Edward Sudbury, Esq., C.E., Captain of the 54th (Ormskirk) L.R.V., which took place at his residence,  Aughton, at about six o'clock on Friday evening last. 
The deceased gentleman had been ailing for some time, but there was no indication that the melancholy event, which was to deprive his family of its kind and affectionate husband and father, and the locality of so excellent a neighbour and willing helper in all that was good, honourable, and loyal, was so near at hand.
Up to the Wednesday night preceding his death Mr. Sudbury had attended to his various business engagements, but was taken suddenly ill on Wednesday night, and suffered greatly from spasmodic attacks, which necessitated the calling in of his medical advisers, who at once perceived that there was no hope of his recovery. After suffering intense pain, on Friday morning the spasmodic attacks became less violent, which enabled him to doze, and his relatives indulged the fond hope that he would recover; but, alas! the sign of recovery was delusive. At three o`clock he became worse, and at about six o`clock he died, every effort which medical skill and experience could prescribe proving unavailing. The immediate cause of death was, we are given 
to understand, what in commonly designated by the faculty as " Bright`s disease."
Mr. Sudbury was a native of Egmonton, in Nottinghamshire, was the son of a yeoman, and was brought up to agricultural pursuits. In the early part of his life he displayed a great taste for mathematics, and eventually became attached to the ordnance staff, in connection with which he surveyed a great part of this county, including, amongst other local places, Knowsley and the neighbouring townships. On the ordnance survey being completed he entered the office of the late John Parkinson, Esq., of Leyfields, Nottinghamshire, a land agent and engineer of extensive practice, with whom be had considerabl experience in land surveying, drainage, and enclosure, and other kindred avocations. Afterwards he became connected with the Liverpool borough engineer's office, with Mr. Duncan, where his great experience was of considerable service. After his marriage, which took place about the year 1849, he came to reside at Ormskirk, and for several years devoted himself to his professional duties as surveyor, &c., combining with them that of estate auctioneer aud valuer, the latter  occupation, however, having been relinquished by him some years ago. About twelve years ago he entered into partnership with his brother-in-law, the late Mr. James Hewitt Pye, the first Lieutenant of the 54th L.R.V, and since the death of his brother-in-law, the brewery and the farming business have been carried on by Mr. Sudbury, and also the extensive brickworks at. Martin-lane, in Burscough, and, from its commencement, he has also held the office of Surveyor in connection with the Ormskirk and Southport Building Society. At the commencement of the volunteer movement, he was one of the first to enrol himself as a member of the 54th (Omskirk) L.R.V.; and, owing to the resignations and deaths amongst the officers, he succeeded by seniority  to the captaincy of the corps.
It is a most melancholy and noteworthy fact that all the commissioned officers of the 54th L.R.V., who have died since the formation of the corps, have been residents in the parish of Aughton, and they have succeeded each other in the same rank—first, Lieutenant James Hewitt Pye ; second, Captain James Banks Walthew ; third, Lieutenant John Dickinson; fourth, Captain Edward Sudbury.
In addition to his professional accomplishments,Captain Sudbury was an excellent musician and possessed considerable mechanical skill, and with the fowling-piece and the rifle alike he was an excellent shot; in truth, it is a very rare thing to meet with a man in whom are concentrated so many useful accomplishments as were possessed by the gentleman who has been so suddenly removed from our midst. His lamented death has caused universal grief. His disposition was most genial and kind, he was one of the best and happiest of friends, and was ever willing to render his services to those who might require them.
Captain Sudbury was a Freemason, and a Past Master of his lodge, and was greatly esteemed by the brotherhood.
Mr. Sudbury leaves a widow and four sons. Mrs.Sudbury is the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Pye, of ·Rainford.
 
THE FUNERAL.
 
On Tuesday last the remains of the deceased gentleman were interred in a new vault in the new burial ground of the Ormskirk Parish Church. During the forenoon the shops in Ormskirk were closed, and there was a general suspension of business. Shortly before
twelve o'clock a procession was formed in the following order.

As the funeral cortege moved along towards the church, the band of the 54th L.R.V. discoursed the solemn strains of  "The Dead March in Saul" and the muffled minute bell of the Parish Church was solemnly tolled. From the residence of the deceased to the church the route was lined by crowds of spectators evidently desirous of paying a last tribute of respect to the deceased. When the hearse reached the church gates, the coffin, on which was placed, as observed by Freemasons, the Past Masters apron and jewel, was borne by the workmen of the deceased, the pall-bearers being Captain and Adjutant Holden, Captain Hesketh, Captain Barrett, Lieutenant Walker, Ensign Wignall, Ensign Traughton, Ensign Smith, and Ensign Welsby.
The funeral service was read by the Rev. J.R. Barnes and, as the coffin was bome into the church, the organ played Purcell's fine composition, "I am the Ressurection and the Life." The beautiful burial service having been read in the church, the "Dead March" was performed on the organ as the corpse was being bome out of the church to the grave. The service at the grave was also read in a very impressive manner by the Rev. J.R. Barnes, and the coffin was lowered into its final resting-place amid the tears and laments of the vast
crowd of spectators. The last service- of the church being completed, the Freemasons paid their tribute of respect to the remains of their deceased brother, after which P.M. J.B. Lambert delivered, in a most eloquent and touching manner, the usual funeral oration over the grave, which evidently made a deep and solemn impression on the mournful assembly.
These obsequies being performed, the volunteers fired three volleys over the grave of their deceased captain, whose memory they will never cease to honour and respect. The coffin bore the following inscription : "Edward Sudbury, died October 14th, 1870, aged 50 years.”
The numerous spectators, having taken a last glance at the coffin as it lay in the grave, left the churchyard.
The funeral arrangements were conducted by Mr. Robinson, of Ormskirk.
On the return of the volunteers to their quarters the men were addressed by Captain and Adjutant Holden and Captain Hesketh, each of whom spoke in the highest terms as to the ability Captain Sudbury had always displayed as the commander of the corps, and deplored the great loss the corps had sustained by his lamented death; but they were sure that the members of the 54th would honour the memory of
their deceased Captain by emulating his noble example, and maintaining the efficiency of the corps.
