        MR. ALBERT DIMOND DEAD

        Prominent Organiser Of Cheltenham Dances

        Mr. Albert Dimond, who died at 9 Selkirk-street, Cheltenham, this morning, long took a prominent part in the organisation of dancing fixtures in the town.

        He was a native of the town, and for many years was engaged in the workroom of the tailoring department of Cavendish House, but owing to ill health had to give up three years ago.

        At one time Mr. Dimond ran a dancing class at the old Waverley Rooms, and afterwards at the Oddfellows' Hall, in conjunction with the late Mr. Sid Norris. He was a member of Cheltenham Conservative Club, and for a number of years he frequently gave his services as M.C. in charge of the whist at the club's whist dances.

        His friends recall that in conjunction with the late Mr. Mealing, who was foreman for the builders of the Cheltenham Town Hall, Mr. Dimond ran the first "popular" ball ever held in that building. This took place shortly after the hall was opened, and it was organised partly in commemmoration of the successful conclusion of the scheme.

        Mr. Dimond's wife died four years ago, since when his widowed daughter, Mrs. Parker, has acted as his housekeeper. His only other child is Mr. A. W. Dimond, Malvern View, Alstone-croft, Cheltenham.

        DEATH OF MR W. R. PARKER

        We regret to announce the death on Tuesday of Mr. W. R. Parker, of 9 Selkirk-street, Cheltenham. He was the youngest son of the late Inspector J. H. Parker, of the Gloucestershire Constabulary, and was born at Beckford in 1887, but on Inspector Parker being transferred to Cheltenham four years later, his son was sent to the Parish Church School, where he gained all his education, and in after days took a great interest in the old school. After leaving he was apprenticed to cabinet-making with the firm of Luker and Co., and afterwards went into his uncle's firm - H. Mealing and Co., builders - with whom he worked until last Whitsuntide, when illness finally compelled him to give up. He was an original member of the Clarence United Cricket Club (of which his brother has been captain for 25 years), and will be much missed by his fellow-members and workmates, whose affection and respect he had gained by his good comradeship in work and play. During the Great War Mr. Parker served in Palestine with a battalion of the Devon Regiment. He leaves a widow, who was the eldest daughter of Mr. A. Dimond, another well-known Cheltonian, but there is no family.
