Sudden Death of the Rev E F G Tyndale.
Many of our readers will have heard with regret of the sudden death of the Rev E F G Tyndale MA, vicar of New Shoreham, Sussex, and a former curate of Aylesbury, where he was much and deservedly esteemed and respected; which took place at his vicarage on December 11. We gleaned from the West Sussex Gazette that as recently as the previous Sunday the vicar conducted the services at the Parish Church. It was only in March last that he was appointed to the living, but since that time he had started many good institutions in the town, and the inhabitants had become thoroughly attached to their new vicar. Dr Fuller had been attending the reverent gentleman who was suffering from an internal complaint, but no fatal result had been anticipated. On Wednesday afternoon, the 11th ult, he was taken suddenly worse, and suffered severe pain, expiring in the evening. Deceased was born in 1852 at the Rectory Tatsfield, Surrey, and was educated at Haileybury College, Hertfordshire. He was first a curate at Wokingham, then removed to Aylesbury, and was subsequently appointed to the living at Headington, Oxfordshire, where he laboured for ten years. He received his MA at Magdalen College Oxford. From Headington he was appointed vicar of New Shoreham. Much sympathy is felt for the widow and five children in the unexpected bereavement. In the course of his sermons at the parish church on Sunday, the Rev E Field (chaplain of Lancing College), who officiated, made feeling allusions to the sudden death of the vicar, and sympathetic reference to the sad event was also made in various nonconformist places of worship. The mortal remains of the deceased clergyman were interred in Holton Churchyard, Oxfordshire, on Tuesday. On Monday there was an early-morning celebration of the Holy Communion at Shoreham Church which was followed at a 8:45 by the first part of the funeral service. The coffin had been carried to the Church prior to the Communion service. At the time appointed there was hardly a vacant place in the sacred edifice. The coffin, which was completely covered with wreaths, was placed on trestles on the chancel floor, in the open space between the new choir seats, this being a part of the numerous alterations as suggested by the deceased, and which are now in course of completion. The officiating clergyman were the Rev J Puttick rector of Kingston by Sea, the Archdeacon of Lewes, and the Rev E E Field, chaplain of Lancing College. Appropriate hymns were sung, and a touching address delivered by the Archdeacon, and at the close of the service the body was carried from the church to the Railway Station by members of the New Shoreham branch of the YMCA followed by a very large number of inhabitants, as well as one of the deceased's brothers, who had with him three of the orphan children. The inscription on the coffin was as follows: "In Memorial. Edmund Francis Guise Tyndall, born 14 July, 1852, died 11 December, 1889."

(From the Guardian)
The church has suffered a severe loss by the sudden and unexpected death of the Rev Edmund F G Tyndall, MA the recently appointed vicar of New Shoreham. He was born in 1852, at Tatsfield Surrey, of which his father the Rev H A Tyndall was then rector. Being obliged to leave Haileybury owing to a severe illness, from the effects of which he never completely recovered, he became the pupil of the Reverent J W Diggle, vicar of Mossley Hill, who seems to have had a great and lasting influence over him. He subsequently proceeded to Magdalen College, Oxford, and took his degree in 1874. After a Year at Wells Theological College he was ordained by the late Bishop of Oxford to the curacy of Wokingham. In 1878 he became senior curate of Aylesbury of which Canon Lloyd was them vicar. A year later he accepted the living of Headington, near Oxford, and there spent the next 10 years in steady and successful work, including an enlargement of the parish church and the purchase of a vicarage house. Early in 1889 he was presented by Magdalen College to the living of New Shoreham, and entered upon residence there at the beginning of June. On 11 December after but two hours of illness, he was called to his rest. At Headington, where the greater part of his ministerial life was spent, the mourning for his early death is deep and universal. All feel that they have lost a faithful and loving friend, one to whom they could go in every trouble and sorrow, sure of meeting with sympathy and help. Without being in any way a brilliant preacher, he had the power of explaining and forcing home the truth of the Christian Faith with great clearness and precision, while his addresses to children were models of what such addresses should be. By his steady application to all departments of parish work, and by his loving sympathy, combined with outspoken courage, he earned the respect and often the affection of his parishioners, even of those who differed most from him in his religious and ecclesiastical questions, and his departure took place last spring amid universal regret. The people of New Shoreham were not long in discovering what a hard-working and conscientious vicar had come amongst them, and a very great improvement in the church life of the place was immediately shown. It is, indeed, little short of marvellous how much was effected during the six months he was allowed to labour here, and how great a hold he got on his people. All felt that he was just the right man for the place, and looked forward to a happy and successful work for him there. There was a special celebration of the Holy Communion on Monday, the 16th ult, followed by the first part of the burial service, and a very impressive address by Archdeacon Sutton. The coffin was then taken to Holton, near Oxford, where he passed his boyhood, and where he had expressed a desire to be buried, and there he was laid to rest on the following day. The service at the grave was read by his first rector the Rev E Sturgess of Wokingham, and was attended by a great number of his old parishioners. FAO
