Coalville Times article - Friday August 10th, 1917

The members of the Coalville Men’s Adult School on Sunday morning passed a resolution of sympathy with one of their number, Mr A. Pauley, on the death of his brother, Rifleman J. T. Pauley, in France, news that he had been fatally “gassed” having been received during the week. Rifleman Pauley was a native of Shepshed, but was well-known in the Coalville district, having acted as manager of the Coalville branch of the Wolsey Factory (Messrs. R. Walker and Sons) in Mantle Lane, when it was first opened. He also played cricket for Coalville Baptists, but was better known as a sportsman in the Shepshed district, being a popular member of the Town Cricket Club and of the Albion Football Club. The deceased’s relatives reside at Shepshed. His wife is the daughter of Mr M. Smith, clerk to the Shepshed Urban Council. He was employed before the war at the Shepshed factory of Messrs. R. Walker and Sons.
