        MR. J. PARISH, CARDIFF

        Mr. John Parish, of Bangor-street, Cardiff, who helped in the re-building of Messina, the Italian town which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1910, died on Monday, aged 76.

        Mr. Parish was born in Somerset, but came to Cardiff when he was six months old. He became associated with a firm of English contractors, and during the re-building of Messina he erected several churches and convents. For this he was given a signed portrait of the Pope. He retired in 1922.

        Mr. Parish is survived by a widow and nine children. The funeral will take place at Westcliff-on-Sea on Thursday.
