    Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

    Son of Joseph and Annie PURSEY

    Mr. Morgan, head master of Tighe's Hill Public School, received word yesterday that his wife's brother, Private A. J. Pursey, died in London Hospital on the 10th instant from wounds received in fighting In France. Private Pursey went to France about Christmas, and evidently went to the front without much delay.
