PRINCE OF SONG-WRITERS

Death of Mr. Fred E. Weatherly, K.C.

BATH MOURNS A DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN

We announce with deep regret the death of the very distinguished citizen of Bath, Mr. Fred E. Weatherly, K.C., who, after a brief illness, passed away on Saturday at his residence, Bathwick Lodge, Bathwick Hill.

Mr. Weatherly a few days ago was directed by his doctor to take a rest, as he had been working hard in many interests, and he accordingly took to his bed.

He appeared to be progressing favourably, but the heart was enfeebled, and Mr. Weatherly sank under the weakness. He would have completed his 81st year next month.

Mr. Fred E. Weatherly was a true son of the West Country, for he was born at Portishead on
October 4, 1848.

He received his early education at Hereford Cathedral School, and was successful in three very different professions. He entered Oxford in 1867, and remained there until 1888, spending the years following his graduation in teaching classics, law, and
logic.

Called to the Bar in 1887, he joined the Western Circuit in 1890, and secured considerable
reputation. He took silk at the age of 76 amid the warm congratulations of his many loyal
friends.

But, no doubt, it is in connection with song-writing that Mr. Weatherly's name has become a
household word far and wide. The amount of lyrical work he accomplished is really
remarkable.

His songs alone make many volumes when bound together, but he also did much important
work in translating foreign operas into English. He published upwards of 1,500 songs.

Mr. Weatherly's "Nancy Lee" was the effort of but a few minutes, and other songs which are
very popular are "Nir- vana, "The Deathless Army," "Darby and Joan,, 33 "We've Come Up From Somerset," "Roses of Picardy," "Thora," and “The Star of Bethlehem.” Ideas for "To-morrow Will Be Friday" and "London Bridge" came from a drive with Molloy in a
cab.

JUBILEE AS SONG WRITER.

He celebrated his jubilee as a song- writer in December, 1919, when he was the guest at a
dinner given in his honour at the Cafe Imperial, Regent Street, London, organised by the
music publishers and composers with whom he was associated. At that interesting gathering
he was the recipient of a handsome silver inkstand, suitably inscribed.

Mr. Weatherly continued to write songs, as he said he would, as long as he lived, but besides he was in much quest as a lecturer, and his song-lectures, in which a delightful talk by the barrister-author, enlivened with the delightful humour which was so characteristic of the man, had earned audiences up and down the country. He was in much request as an
after-dinner speaker, and frequently rejoiced his hearers with a clever speech in rhyme.

Always up-to-date, he bent the new art of broadcasting to the use of the ever growing muse that was his, and his recitals before the microphone have been eagerly listened to in all parts of the country.

Mr. Weatherly had his chambers in Bristol, but has long resided in Bath, first at Edward Street and latterly in Bathwick Hill.

He was twice married, the second time in 1923 at St. Mary's, Bathwick, to Miriam, widow of Mr. John Bryan, Llanfechan, Montgomeryshire, who survives him, and he leaves two daughters by his first wife. One of his brothers is Dr. Lionel Weatherly, the founder of Winsley Sanatorium,

HIS LAST VERSE.

World Favourites Composed in Trains.

Mr. Weatherly's death has left a gap in the ranks of lyricists, and a void in the roll of distinguished citizens of Bath.

It has been estimated that in all Mr. Weatherly wrote some 3,000 songs in his lifetime, about 1,500 of which were printed, and it was one of his sayings that the first of them was recited to his mother, his nurse, and a doctor, when he was a small child. He was about 17 when his first song was published (it was "When we are old and grey").

The titles of many of his songs are familiar to everybody; they include "Nancy Lee," "Up from
Somerset,' "They all love Jack," "Mifanwy," "The Old Brigade," Friend Mine" (written for Stephen Adams, the com- poser), "When you come home, dear," The Green Hills of Somerset," *Roses of Picardy," "The Star of Bethlehem' and "The Holy City," "Nirvana"
and Thora"; and they have been sung everywhere.

WRITING IN THE TRAIN.

Weatherly was a rapid writer, and wrote some of his best-known lyrics in short intervals during the more serious work of his early days. "Nancy Lee," for example, which brought him fame, was done in half-an-hour while he was waiting for a pupil. Often he wrote while travelling in the train, and he considered that the production of light verse was an excellent
antidote to the serious thought on the problems of the law with which he had to deal when on
the Western Circuit.

In his book of recollections, published In 1926, Weatherly declared that he made no claim to
be a poet, or that his songs were "literary." "They are the songs of the people," he said, "and that is enough for me. Songs must have an appeal to the heart, he contended, and if they came from the heart of the writer they would get to the heart of the people who listened to them.

His work was not confined, however, to the writing of songs. He had adapted a number of operas "Cavalleria Rusticana," "Pagliacci," "L'Amico Fritz," "Mirette," "La Nevaraise," "Amy Robsart, among them-for American and English performances, and In good deal of this was done while he was waiting for briefs. He was also the author of two books on logic and numerous books for children.

"The secret of happiness," he told an interviewer not long ago, "is to be blessed with a good memory, have happy past to look back upon, a beautiful wife, and children and grandchildren and lifelong friends."

Mr. Weatherly was twice married, the second time in
1923, when he was in his 75th year (to Mrs. John Bryan, of Llanfechan, who was a widow),
and he had two great- grandchildren,

LAST LINES.

As recently as the beginning of this month Mr. Weatherly wrote a song in honour of the
wedding of his grand- daughter, Miss Beryl James. It began:-

Sweethearts' love brings you roses and makes the whole world new,

And life to-day uncloses the gates of joy for you.

Pass in; 'tis love discovers the sweet, mysterious land.

The land where only lovers walk ever hand in hand.

So when your evening closes, so when your hair is grey,

Age will bring back the roses love gives to you to-day.

He often broadcast. His first was during the Bath night from the Pump Room. Later he was often heard from Cardiff and also from Daventry.

In addition to his many lyrics, Mr. Weatherly composed several poems, of which the best
known is "Muriel," and he also provided the books for several cantatas. He was the author of two works on logic, of numerous books for children, and of a volume of "Recollections."

It is a curious coincidence that the two most sought-after versifiers of his day - W. S. Gilbert and,
himself- were both members of the Bar.

It is also curious that, as Lewis Carroll, when
he was not penning his delightful fantasies for children, was lecturing or writing on abstruse
problems in mathematics at Oxford, so his contemporary, Fred Weatherly, in the intervals
between the production of his earlier songs, was acting as a tutor at the same University and producing books on such an unpoetical subject as the rudiments of logic.

Mr. Weatherly had a fine sense of humour. He enlivened the courts with his wit. One story
he told was against himself. "That's the fellow as did 'Nancy Lee," said one hanger-on to another at Bristol Assizes. "Did Nancy Lee' be blowed for a tale," was the reply. "He's the little chap as did me six months last year for cracking that crib!"

A GOOD CITIZEN.

Mr. Weatherly, who resided for many years in Edward Street before going to Bathwick Hill,
was a good citizen, and enthusiast of Bath.

A supporter of all the arts and all good causes.
He loved the city, loved its theatre, often attended stage plays and Pump Room concerts, was often seen at library and other gatherings, was in great demand at dinners and at all great public functions.

All sorts of charities enlisted his ready help. He lectured repeatedly for this or that cause. One of the last bodies upon which he served was that concerned with a memorial to the late Cedric Chivers. It was he who moved the resolution in favour of a
memorial for the Guildhall.

Mrs. Weatherly has been overwhelmed by messages of sympathy from all over the country.

HAPPY TO THE LAST.

Mr. F. E. Weatherly's Joyous Philosophy.

What was probably the last letter written by the late Mr. F. E. Weatherly was sent from Bath to Mrs. Flora Klickmann, Editor of "Woman's Magazine,' who has permitted an extract to be published, observing that "it surely deserves the widest circulation as an epitome of a fine and honourable life." The passage, which is beautifully expressive of the veteran song-
writer's philosophy, is as follows:-

"Tennyson has written, following an
Italian poet, 'that a sorrow's crown of Gorrows is remembering happier things.' I profoundly
disagree. Ill as I am, and within a few days of my 81st birthday, I am supremely happy, because I remember the love of my mother, my school days and my Oxford days - my strenuous life at the Bar - and my thrilling experience in the world of song.

"Hard work and contentment, freedom from jealousy, are some of the many things that have gone to make up my happiness, above all, my wife who came to me six years ago.

"We watch the hills where I have climbed, and can climb no more, the lawns where I have played tennis, and can play no longer, the river where I have raced and steered, and have said good-bye to all that delight, and yet we do not grumble or repine.

"Though my clever friends no doubt think me out-of-date, I still believe in the God of whom my mother taught me, and believe that my happiness is His gift, and I only hope that, when you are as old as I am, He will keep your memory green, as He has kept mine."

IMPRESSIVE SERVICE AT THE ABBEY.

Many Manifestations of Sorrow and Regard.
Before the many men and women of all types paid their last respects at Bath Abbey on
Wednesday to Mr. F. E. Weatherly, K.C., there was
a little- private family service in the vestibule of Bathwick Lodge, when the Rev. Alfred Weatherly, a brother, led the little knot of family mourners in prayers.

A big crowd had assembled outside the Abbey to watch the cortege enter the church.

Among them were several invalids in chairs who had been cheered in their dark hours by the
famous writer's songs.

The clergy, choir and churchwardens met the funeral procession. The opening sentences were to Croft's burial music.

The Archdeacon of Bath (the Ven. S. A Boyd) officiated, assisted by Prob. George Ruck
(Rector of St. Mary's, Bathwick), the Rev. Alfred Weatherly (Rector of Weeley, Essex), and
the Rev. N. E. W. Bradyll-Johnson (curate of Bath Abbey). The churchwardens' staves were
carried by Mr. F. E. Roberts (rector's warden) and Mr. Percy Jackman (in the absence of Major J. M. T Reilly, people's warden).

The processional hymn was "Jesu, lover of my soul," and the full choir gave a fine rendering of the 90th Psalm to the Beethoven-Goss chant.

Prebendary Ruck read the lesson from the chancel steps. The second hymn was "There is a land of pure delight." The Archdeacon then read the prayers.

"DANNY BOY."

There were many moist eyes when, after the words of the Grace had died away, Mr. A. E. New, who was at the organ, rendered the poignant, plaintive strains of "Danny Boy." The late song writer had written the words for the haunting old Londonderry Air, and as the organ's rich notes floated out into the Abbey there must have been few indeed who did not recall
some of the words-sad, but full of hope:

And kneel and say an Ave there for me, And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me. "From glen to glen and down the mountain side."

Mr. Weatherly's own resting place, by his own wish, is on the side of a verdant, peaceful glen - a glen overlooked by his house in Bathwick Hill, where he had spent the last year of his life happy in the thought that in his time he had brought happiness and charm into the lives of others.

The coffin was taken out of the Abbey while the choir chanted the Nune Dimittis.

There was a large and silent crowd out- side, who watched the coffin being carried to York Street via the south side of the Abbey, from where it was taken to Bathwick Cemetery for burial.

The mourners from the house were Mrs. Weatherly (widow), Dr. Lionel Weatherly, the Rev. Arthur Weatherly (of Hereford School and Brasenose College, Oxford). and Mr. Cecil Weatherly (brothers); Mr and Mrs. Walter James (son-in-law and daughter), Miss Christine Weatherly (daughter), Mr. and Mrs. Guy James (grandson and and granddaughter-in-law),
