Œnone died on 18 September 2014, about a month after her 96th
birthday. Born at Trehunsey Farm near Mawnan Smith in Cornwall, daughter
of Lucy Houseman and Percy Horton, she was the last, and youngest, of her
generation, her parents then being in their mid 40s.
I was unable to go to her funeral but I hear that there
were about 30 family members present and Dawn has sent me a copy of the
marvellous Tribute written by Œnone’s daughter Cindy. Anyone who would like to
receive a copy is welcome to ask me or Dawn.

Œnone was much loved by everyone. I used to meet her and
her brother Ormonde when I was a youngster and later at the house of my mother
Lucy in Northamptonshire and finally in Cornwall in 1998. It was a delight to receive, until quite
recently, her long and interesting letters, full of family information.
She will be missed, and remembered, by many of us for
the rest of our own lives.
