DEATH OF MR HENRY GRENFELL, SURGEON, PENZANCE.

All Penzance heard with much concern on Saturday afternoon that Mr H Grenfell, surgeon, Morrab-road was so seriously ill that his recovery would be little short of miraculous; with true sorrow, on Sunday morning, that he was no more. Born at St Just – the son and grandson of mine agents of good repute, who had been identified with St Just’s great industry for many a year – Mr Grenfell had no sooner creditably passed his examinations in surgery and medicine in 1861, than he commenced practice in Penzance. Thenceforward his plodding work, his close attention to professional duties, and his house-surgeonship of the West Cornwall infirmary gradually increased his connection, and as surely, his fame spread as a cool, reliable and skilful operator. Possessed apparently of robust health and not yet at his meridian of life many years of useful labour, for the alleviation of suffering and his own advancement seeded before him; but an apparently trivial ailment suddenly assumed a severe character and in a few hours Mr Grenfell was no more.

A pain at the back of the head was accompanied by slight discharges from the ear. The last ceased, and for three weeks Mr Grenfell suffered much. He said little about this, however, from an unwillingness to alarm his wife, family and friends, until his son came from London to spend Easter, and to him he imparted, on the morning of Good Friday, how great occasionally had been the pain in the head. On the evening of that day he retired to rest, unwell, but to all appearances, not seriously so. On Saturday morning he rose and dressed but was now suffering so severely that he again lay down for a short space. With an effort he got downstairs, and it was only then that Mrs Grenfell and his sons and daughters saw how great was his suffering and that he was only half conscious of what was going on. He rested in an armchair and seemed sleepy. It was thought that the quietude was best and he was, for a little while, left undisturbed. That was the beginning of our esteemed neighbour’s , tranquil last sleep. A small piece of the inside of his skull had become detached and for days had been putting deadly pressure on the brain. That pressure had produced insensibility, and, even now, all pain was over. Medical aid was sought when it was found that Mr Grenfell could not be roused. Mr Quick and Dr Montgomery were soon with their colleague; other brother professionals joined them; but consciousness was never regained, and, early on the bright morning of Easter Sunday, the spirit returned to God, who gave it.

CORNISH WEST BRITON 14th March 1856 – Local News

On the 12th instant, at St Just in Penwith, on the body of Mary GRENFELL, aged 19 years. The deceased being apparently quite well, went from her house on Sunday morning last, to a Methodist meeting very near it, but was obliged shortly after to leave from pain in her side or stomach. She was taken to a neighbour’s home, where she got some distilled peppermint, which greatly relieved her, and she was afterwards put home, and there went to bed and remained during the whole of the day. At night an aunt slept in the same room as her in a different bed, but on the following morning another aunt, having occasion to go into the room, found the deceased out of the bed, seemingly kneeling by the side of that in which she slept, and upon being taken up was found to be dead – A post mortem examination of the body was made by Mr. John PERMEWAN, of St Just, assisted by Mr. Arthur BERRYMAN, of Penzance, both of which attributed her death to an ulcerated disease of the stomach. Verdict, natural death.

SAD NEWS FROM ABROAD. – We are sorry to hear of the sad news of the death of Mr. W. N. Grenfell, formerly of Pendeen, North St. Just, late of Johannesburg. Mr Grenfell was a well-known inhabitant of St. Just, for he was a member of the Pendeen Church choir for many years and a teacher in the Sunday school. In both capacities  he was always willing to assist at concerts for benevolent purposes; and both at Johannesburg as well as at home, had always borne such an irreproachable character that he gained the respect from all that knew him. He, like many others, sought a fortune abroad and enjoyed good health there for over two years until late September last, until he suddenly seized with pneumonia and was only in hospital eight days when he died. He was 22 years of age. Great sympathy is felt for the parents and relatives of the deceased.

ST. JUST
News has been received here during the last few days from Nevadaville, Gilpin County, Colorado, of the death of William Grenfell, (known among his associates as “Copper”) of Carnyorth. It appears that Grenfell was attacked by typhoid fever, and, notwithstanding that he was attended by three doctors, he died in a few days. The saddest part of the story, however, is that his wife sold off her goods only a short time since to join him, and rumour says that he was dead before she arrived. Be that as it may, she is now a widow—in quite a strange land, though let us hope amidst true Cornish sympathy and aid.
