Richard Madge
The Seavington News - January 1988
DEATHS
We were deeply sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Dick Madge on December 5th. Mr. Madge came to farm here in 1942 from Whitelackington and for the next 30 years occupied Manor Farm. Grace, his first wife died 13 years ago also on December 5th and after a spell as a widower he married Ann. For thirty years he was a member t the R.D.C., a church warden and for some time a Parish Councillor. Lately his main interests were reading and tending his hens of which he was very fond. He leaves a son Richard and two daughters, his widow Ann and two stepdaughters and eight grandchildren. He will be sorely missed in the village where his affability was legendary. Richard intends continuing with the rainfall report.
