Death Mr. C. E. F. Nash.—The death took place on Sunday at Glenfall Lawn, Cheltenham, of Mr. Clifford Evans Fowler Nash M.A., who for many years had been a well-known figure in the life of the town. Mr. Nash, who was a barrister-at-law, he having been called the Bar, at Lincoln’s Inn, in 1862, was assistant-master of the Classical Department of Cheltenham College from 1861-6, and in the Military and Civil Department from 1866 to 1878. He was also head of a boarding-house (Elkstone House) from 1866 to 1871.

He was an Oxford man, having been at Pembroke College, where he achieved some distinction, taking a first-class in Mathematical Moderations (1857). He took his B.A. degree in 1859 (with a first-class in mathematics), and his M.A. degree in 1862. Mr. Nash was for many years deeply interested in the welfare of the All Saints’ Parish Schools, of which he for long held the position of secretary and treasurer and in the early days of the last great Education Act his legal knowledge was of very great value to the managers in threading its intricacies. He was also much interested in all other matters pertaining to the welfare of the Church in other directions.

Mr. Nash in 1865 married Edith Mary, third daughter of the late Dr. Forbes-Reynolds, of Lansdown-place, Cheltenham, by whom he leaves two sons and a daughter (Mrs. Arbuthnott, Charlton Kings). As recently as the third of the present month he lost another daughter, Miss Alice May Nash, who died at the Imperial Nursing Home after an operation, her death being a great blow to the deceased gentleman. Mr. Nash, who was a member of the Cheltenham New Club, was the first secretary and treasurer of the Cheltenham Ratepayers’ Association in 1891, and he was also for some years chairman of the Amateur Photographic Society.
