STURGE, Edith Maud (nιe Pollard) (Scholar 18861891) who died on October 11, 1964, aged eighty-eight was one of the five children of Henry Josiah and Ann Louisa Pollard, of Tottenham. After leaving Ackworth she completed her education at a good private school at Southport. He father, a recorded minister, was active in Mission, Band of Hope and similar work and one of Edith Sturge's first services to Friends was as a teacher in the Sunday School. In 1902 she married William Lucius Sturge and settled in Southampton where he became proprietor of a laundry. She took an active and practical share in helping him build up the business; and they both gave devoted service to Southampton Meeting and the Monthly Meeting. They made a hospitable home and Edith Sturge delighted in her garden, but their home life had its griefs as well as its joys. In 1936 Bernard the youngest of their three children was killed in a motor-cycling accident, when still in his early twenties. A few years later the laundry was destroyed in the bombing of Southampton. The Sturges' own house suffered partial damage and in the autumn of 1941 William Sturge died. For a few years Edith Sturge seemed to lose all interest in life but recovered and from the age of seventy-five she resumed an active part in many of her former interests. Locally she still served on the "Titanic Committee" helping dependants of victims of the 1912 disaster. She kept up attendance at Meeting for Sufferings until she was nearly eighty-two and was assiduous in attendance at Quaker Meetings. She had a shrewd judgment, spiritual discernment and a real interest in people which stopped this side of intrusion. Sympathetic and understanding, her quiet undemanding and undemonstrative friendship were a strength to those around her and her Meeting. Her qualities, and her feeling for the spirit and needs of a meeting for worship, made her a natural Elder and in this capacity she served for over forty years. It is on many lives of quiet unobtrusive, loyal devotion such as Edith Sturge's that the strength of Quakerism in large measure depends. (By Courtesy of The Friend.) |

STRINGER, Agnes Mary (nιe Pollard) (Scholar 18921896) was born in 1881, the fourth child of Henry J. and Anne L. Pollard of Tottenham. In 1907 she married Herbert Stringer and they lived for a time in Palmers Green, where she was a member of Winchmore Hill Meeting, and later in their own designed bungalow at Rickmansworth. She is well remembered in her family for her fun and laughter, but her husband's death in 1930 was a blow from which she never really recovered. In her latter years she lived at Chalfont St. Giles, in a house which she also designed, and was a member of Jordans Meeting. Agnes Stringer died on July 22, 1965, and is buried at Jordans beside her husband. |
