188155 Able Seaman Thomas Henry Adams, Royal Navy. H.M.S. "Aboukir" Died 22nd September 1914, aged 35. Son of Thomas Henry Hicks Adams and Catherine Adams, of Buxton; husband of Mary Ellen Adams, of 18, Clarence Street, Lancaster.
212496 Able Seaman Wilfred Wilson, Royal Navy. H.M.S. "Cressy" Died 22nd September 1914, aged 30. Husband of Sarah Ann Wilson, of 98, Penny Street, Lancaster.
MISSING NAVAL MEN.
A telegram received from the Admiralty on Saturday night informed Mrs. Adams, of 40, Sylvester-street, Fairfield, Lancaster, that her husband, Gunner Thomas Henry Adams, a naval reservist on the ill-fated H.M.S. Aboukir, was amongst those missing, and he is presumably amongst the victims. Adams leaves a widow and two children. He was employed on the L. and N.W. Railway.
No tidings have been received from Wilfred Wilson, of 13, Perth-street, Lancaster, a torpedo man on H.M.S. Cressy. His name is not included on the list of survivors. His time had almost expired.

1741 Private John Huartson 5th King's Own (Royal Lancaster Regiment). Accidentally killed while on active service, on 30th September 1914, aged 25. Son of Mrs. Elizabeth Huartson; husband of Mary Ann Huartson, of 14, Albion Street, Lancaster.
Information was given to the Lancaster police that Pte. John Hewartson, of the 5th Battalion King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, whose home is at 28, Ridge-street, Lancaster, had been knocked down and killed by an express, while guarding a bridge on the railway near Reading the previous night. An inquest was held on Thursday morning.
Captain Bingham said deceased was sentry on a railway bridge, and when his comrade went to relieve him he could not be found. Subsequently his body was discovered about ten yards down the embankment. His injuries were terrible, and death must have been instantaneous. The body was found 100 yards from his post, and he had evidently left the bridge contrary to orders. His loss was very real, as he was a good soldier and always cheerful.
A verdict of accidentally killed was returned.
The Vicar of Twyford (the Rev. R. W. H. Acworth) sent a Union Jack to cover the coffin, upon which his comrades placed floral tributes.
