DEANERY MOURNS A BELOVED FIGURE <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

DEVOTED WORK FOR RELIGIOUS EDUCATION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NORTON FUNERAL <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Northampton Mercury\u00a0-\u00a0Friday 05 January 1934<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Deep regret has been caused throughout the Peterborough Diocese by the tragically sudden death of the Rev. W. H. Logan, Vicar of Norton and Rural Dean for the Daventry Deanery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Logan had only held the living since January 21 last year having succeeded the Rev. W. G. Litchfield, who had to resign on account of ill-health in September 1932, and who died a few weeks ago at Northampton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aged 72, Mr. Logan had suffered with his heart for some time, but it was not thought that his condition was so serious. (He was taken ill on Friday evening last week, and was attended by a doctor three times on Saturday. He died about 8.30 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A native of Cambridge, Mr. Logan received his entire education in the town and graduated at Downing College. He was shortly afterwards appointed mathematical master Plymouth College, and in 1888 succeeded the Rev. F. Hutton Headmaster of Daventry Grammar School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RECTOR FOR 36 YEARS <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While at Daventry he was ordained and was for time curate in the parish. Thirty-seven years ago he accepted the living of Whilton, and was there until last year, when he went to the neighbouring parish of Norton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a number of years he worked as voluntary schools\u2019 inspector for the Diocese, and was then appointed Director of Religious Instruction for the Diocese. It was upon the advice of his doctor that he gave up this work when he left Whilton. He succeeded Canon E. E. Law as Rural Dean when the latter went to Empingharn at the beginning of last year, and during his term of office he inducted the Revs. J. F, Winter, G. F. A. Fitzroy, E. S. Powell, and E. L. Hamond to the livings of Daventry, Preston Capes, Staverton, Whilton respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bishop Peterborough, when he instituted him at Norton, said he had laboured abundantly in the Diocese, and he thought the Patron, Lady Beatrice Thynne, had chosen wisely a man whom anybody could trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Logan was extremely fond of outdoor sports, and played cricket and football in his younger days until he was obliged to give up when he began to suffer with rheumatism. While at Plymouth he rowed for the College. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday evening a dance in aid of the British Legion Relief Fund was being held in the Norton Institute when word came that Mr. Logan had passed away. The dance was immediately abandoned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Daventry Parish Church on Sunday morning, the congregation stood while Mr. L. Hammond played the \u201cDead March.\u201d At Norton, the Union Jack was flown half-mast on the church. It is interesting to note that Captain Frank Litchfield, secretary of the Pytchley Hunt and brother of the late Rev. W. G. Litchfield, and the Rev, H. R. A. Cornish, formerly vicar of Badby, were pupils of Mr. Logan at Daventry Grammar School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
