| July 1912 | Sam Thomas' father Recently, Mr. Sam Thomas, the popular conductor of the Ranmoor Society, Sheffield, lost his father, who passed away at the age of 78 years. Mr. Thomas, senr., had a record which it would be hard to beat. For something near 70 years he was a chorister at Wath-on-Dearne, and for over 50 years sexton and clerk, in addition to being conductor of a band of prize ringers in the ’6o’s. RW2:0068:0010 |
| June 1912 | Francis Ward Mr. Francis Ward, of Sheffield, who has just entered the ranks of the benedicts, has been presented by his brother ringers at Ranmoor, Sheffield, with a handsome walnut overmantel. The Vicar (the Rev. J. G. Williams) made the presentation, and dwelt upon the spirit of unity which exists among the ringers at Ranmoor. RW2:0067:0446 |
