Jersey Independent, 06/10/1900
During an interval of the “smoker” the Chairman rose and said that, in the name of the President, he had a very pleasing duty to perform. That was to make a presentation to the Club’s late Hon. Secretary, who for 18 months had fulfilled his task with zeal and energy, and who had endeared himself to every individual member. In Making the presentation of the gold chain and pendant, on their behalf, he wished him every success in his after life. The Committee wished, he added, to give him an illuminated address, but he unfortunately could not present it at that meeting.
Mr FLEURY, who was much moved, expressed his deep gratitude for the kind manner in which the Club had appreciated his services, saying he would prize the chain and address wherever his path in life lay.
The chain and pendant are fine specimens of the jewellers art, and were purchased at the establishment of Messrs Edgar Bros (Halkett Place). The pendant on one side bears Mr FLEURY’s monogram and on the reverse “Presented to F.J. Fleury by the members of the J.A.C.”
The following is the text of the address: –
Sept. 28th, 1900.
DEAR MR FLEURY, -
On the eve of your departure from Jersey for South Africa, we, the undersigned, on behalf of the members of the above Club, beg of you to accept this gold chain and pendant, as a small token of the esteem in which you are held amongst us.
