James Wayman and Samuel Pilling, Layton Cemetery, Blackpool #5

'RAISED BY FRIENDS

TO THE MEMORY OF

THE

REV. JAMES WAYMAN,

BORN AUGUST 15^TH 1840,

DIED DECEMBER 8^TH 1899.

HE WAS A GOOD MINISTER,

AND USEFUL CITIZEN.'

'Useful citizen' today seems an odd way to describe someone, and I wonder if it seemed odd at the end of the 19th century too. James Wayman was also the co-founder of the Blackpool Times in 1877, with Samuel Pilling:

'IN

LOVING MEMORY

OF

EMMA

WIFE OF THE

REV. S. PILLING,

BORN DEC^R 9^TH 1844,

DIED MAY 5^TH 1927.

ALSO OF THE ABOVE

REV. SAMUEL PILLING

BORN DEC^R 29^TH 1844,

DIED JAN^Y 11^TH 1930.'

Many thanks to The Friends of Layton Cemetery for their amazingly enthusiastic help with all our grave enquiries.
