Mr. William Feasey, of Brook Cottage, Marsh, who died on Saturday, was buried at Great Kimble Church on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Feasey at the age of 84 was one of the oldest residents in the neighbourhood and was born at Brook Cottage. He and his wife, who died in March of last year, celebrated their Diamond Wedding in 1934. Brook Cottage was built by Mr. Feasey's grandfather over 100 years ago. He spent the majority of his working life at Standalls Farm nearby, when it was in the occupation of the late Mr. T. Thorne and Mr. William Little. He retired when he was 70. The REv. R. Hack, rector of Kimble, who conducted the funeral service also held a memorial service in the evening at Marsh Chapel where Mr. Feasey had assisted with the Sunday afternoon services for many years, ringing the bell, lighting the lamps and taking the offerings.

Sixrty years ago today (Friday), William Feasey and Margaret Castle set out to walk from Marsh to Great Kimble Church to be married. They came to the church together with two other people, by way of Kimble Hill, and after they had been married by the late Rev. John Steward, they walked back to Brook Cottage, at Marsh, via "Smoky Row" or Bridge Street, as it is now called.
To-day the old couple are still living at Brook Cottage, and it is there that they will celebrate quietly the culmination of sixty years of the joys and sorrows of wedded life and their Diamond Wedding anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. Feasey did not actually commence their married life at Brook Cottage, which was in those days the home of Mr. Feasey's parents. When they arrived at the cottage, after walking home from the church, the wedding breakfast was served there, and then they walked to a cottage in the Bishopstone Road, where they made their first home.
Our picture shows Mr. and Mrs. Feasey outside their cottage.
