Report from the Shipley Times 28 March 1913: -

DEATH OF MR. EZRA NAYLOR. OF SALTAIRE.

Expressions of regret were heard on all hands in the Shipley district on Wednesday, when it became known that Mr. Ezra Naylor, who had had practically a lifelong connection with the firm of Sir Titus Salt. Bart., Sons and Co., Ltd., Saltaire Mills, had died the previous night, after a brief illness.

The sad intelligence caused quite a painful sensation in Saltaire, where the deceased gentleman was known to everybody, and where he had won the respect and esteem of the inhabitants generally. Mr. Naylor had not enjoyed good health for some time past, but nothing of a serious nature been apprehended. He was at the mills as recently as last Friday morning, and, accompanied by Mrs. Naylor, left Shipley by the 11.8 a.m. train that day with the intention of attending the marriage of his niece at a village in the neighbourhood of Nottingham the following day.

While in the train he complained of severe internal pains, and these became more acute later in the evening, when and Mrs. Naylor had reached the residence of relatives with whom they had arranged to stay. A local doctor was called in that night, and after seeing Mr. Naylor again the following morning he advised him to return home immediately.

This advice was acted upon, and Mr. Naylor was driven to the nearest station (Chesterfield) in a motor. Shipley was reached shortly after four o’clock in the afternoon, and Mr. Naylor obviously in a very exhausted condition, had to be wheeled through the subway in an invalid carriage. He was then placed in a taxi-cab and driven to his residence, Broxholme, Nab Wood, where he was immediately seen by his medical adviser, Dr. Thornton.

The latter had reason to believe that appendicitis was the cause of the trouble, and this suspicion was confirmed when he made a further examination of his patient the following morning. An immediate operation was deemed imperative, and this was performed by Dr. Thornton, with Dr. Selkirk and Dr. Eames, at mid-day. Although the patient stood the operation remarkably well, the doctors were unable to hold out much hope of his recovery. Mr. Naylor did not lose consciousness up to within about an hour of his death, which took place at a quarter to ten on Tuesday night.

The deceased gentleman was the only son of Mr. Isaac Naylor, who was foreman over the warp dressers at Saltaire Mills. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Bramma, of Birmingham.

At an early age Mr. Ezra Naylor worked half-days at Saltaire Mills, during which time he attended the half-time school then held under the firm’s auspices at the building adjoining Saltaire Station, now used as a cafe. He was one the senior pupils at this school who came under the influence of Mr. George Morrell, a gentleman who, after a long and honourable record in the work of education in Shipley, has now a post under the Saltaire firm in connection with the management of the house property. Like many other youths who have entered Saltaire Mills in a humble capacity, Mr. Naylor saw promotion ahead for those who deserved it, and the determination with which he set about this qualification may be judged from the fact that before he was out of his teens was attending the wool market in Bradford on behalf of the firm.

He was given charge of the spinning department, and held this responsible post for over forty years, during which time, as our readers are aware, he witnessed important changes at Saltaire. The chief of these was when, about twenty years ago, the mills and village passed out of the hands of the family of the founder. Mr. Naylor quickly gained the confidence of and present principal, Sir James Roberts, Bart.

Before the Salt Schools were municipalised Mr. Naylor rendered excellent service as member, for several years, of the governing body. For a considerable time had also sat on the Board of Governors of the Sir Titus Salt Charity.

A year ago, on the retirement from the Shipley District Council of Sir James Roberts, Mr. Naylor was pressed to accept the nomination for the West Ward, and on his agreeing to do so ho was elected unopposed His duties as a Councillor and member of the Education Committee again brought him into touch with the administration the educational institutions at Saltaire, and during the post year he evinced great interest in public work. The last meeting which he attended in connection with the District Council was Tuesday evening of last week, and colleagues who were present that occasion recall the fact that then appeared to be far from well.

For the last three yean Mr. Naylor had been president of the Bradford Textile Managers’ Association, and formerly occupied a similar position in connection with the Shipley Textile Society. Although a staunch Liberal, was not a keen politician.

He was regular worshipper at the Saltaire Congregational Church, and a generous supporter of the cause at that place. In his younger days he took an active part in the work of the Sunday school.

Mr. Naylor is survived his widow and one son (Mr. J. H. Naylor).

As a mark of respect the flag was flown at half-mast at the District Council Offices.

The funeral takes place at Nab Wood Cemetery to-day (Friday).

In his will he left £7,377 1s 8d (worth c£860,000 in 2020).

His widow, Maria, died 13 January 1936 at “Strathroy”, 115 Franklin Road, Harrogate. She was buried alongside Ezra. In her will she left £815 17s 9d (worth c£600,000 in 2020).

Their son, John Herbert, died in 1971.

EVENTFUL CAREER.

DEATH OF FORMER BURLEY MILLS MANAGER

An eventful career in the textile industry in England and America, extending over 60 years, ended in the death on Saturday (2 December), at Galphay, near Ripon, of Mr. Charles Nunn, father of Mr. J. H. Nunn, of Danefield Terrace, Otley.

Mr. Nunn, who was aged 87, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Taylor, was known in the Wharfedale district, particularly at Burley, where he held a responsible position at Greenholme Mills, during the war, and also at Otley Auction Mart, where he was an occasional visitor for business purposes.

A native of Suffolk, Mr. Nunn came to Yorkshire as a child, and served his apprenticeship in spinning mill at Hewenden, near Wilsden. Afterwards he worked as a flat spinner at Crossley’s Mill, Halifax. His next move was to Bradford, to the Atlas Mills of Thomas Ambler & Sons. He left there to become a botany mixer the Saltaire Mills, in the days when Sir Titus Salt’s son was in charge.

About 40 years ago he emigrated to the United States, and there he became superintendent of the Washington Mills of the American Woollen Company at Lawrence, Mass., and saved sufficient money to retire.

He had reached Liverpool on his way home, when he received a telegram from the American firm of Salt, Kipp & Co., of Bridgeport, Conn., asking him to return to assume control of the Griswold Worsted Mills at Darby, Pa., and introduce silk spinning.

He undertook to return for one year, but he remained five, and when he finally retired in 1911, he was handsomely feted, and presented with a gold watch.

On his return to England, Mr. Nunn retired on to small farm at Hartwith, near Harrogate, which he had bought some years previously, but during the war he again entered the textile industry and took over at Greenholme Mills, Burley. When the war ended he was presented with a clock with Westminster chimes and went back to his farm and again interested himself in cattle rearing.

“Mr. Nunn is unmistakably a spinner,” an American paper once said of him, “knowing the whole from the sheep’s back to the finished yarn. Much new machinery has boon put in by the Griswold Worsted Company since his advent, with more to follow, making under his able superintendency one of the best spinning mills in the country. The well-ordered running of the mill is certainly due to his oversight.”

Mr. Nunn leaves two sons and a daughter. Both the sons were at the Saltaire Mills in their younger days. The elder Mr. Thomas Nunn, also went to the United States and had charge of the Globe Worsted Mills in Lawrence. He is now living in retirement at Bradford Moor. The younger son, Mr. J. H. Nunn, is now in business in Otley as a builder and contractor. It was while at Saltaire Mills that he met with an accident that resulted in the loss of his arm.

The interment took place at Undercliffe cemetery on Wednesday (6 December).

In his will he left £3769 13s 6d to his son, Joe Harry.

About 4.30 on Friday (3 June) afternoon, a serious accident happened to a lad named J. H. Nunn, age 15, who resides with his grandmother at 39 Whitlam Street, Saltaire and is employed in the spinning room at the works of Sir Titus Salt Bart, Sons and Co. Limited.

About the time stated, Nunn was engaged replenishing oil bottles, in certain of the spinning frames. In order to do this, he placed his arm through one of the wheels to reach the bottle, which was in the interior of the frame.

He was in the act of replacing one of the bottles, which had been replenished with oil, when a girl on the other side of the frame, unaware of the presence of the lad, set the machine in motion. The result was that Nunn’s right arm was caught by the wheel and torn completely away from the elbow joint and also the flesh of several inches of the upper portion of the arm.

The latter was immediately removed to the Saltaire Infirmary, where it was found necessary to amputate the arm close to the shoulder.

Mr. D’Arcy Carter perform the operation, and the lad is now progressing favourably under his care.
