'Death has deprived us of an estimable gentlemen in the person of Mr Benjamin Bloomfield Trench, of Lougton, Cloughjodan, who passed away at his residence, 41 Onslow Gardens, London. He was the eldest son of Mr Henry Trench, of Cangort Park, Shinrone, and the Hon. Mrs Trench, daughter of the first Baron Bloomfield. He married, in 1889, Miss Dora Turnor, of Stoke Rochford, Lincolnshire, and leaves two daughters. Mr Trench had been a justice of the peace for Monaghan and a Deputy Lieutenant for County Tipperary. He was a member of the London Stock Exchange.
While in residence at Loughton, which, in recent years was, unfortunately, not frequent owing to the unhappy turmoil of the times , he was very popular and familiar figure, especially during the Great War, when he took an active interest in the advancement of the recruiting campaigns in and around his district and afterwards he evinced an especial interest in the well-being of those who responded. That the late Mr Trench was deeply devoted to Loughton was exemplified in his wish that his remains should be interred there, and they were accordingly conveyed home on Friday, and next day, in the presence of a large, representative and sympathetic assembly, laid to rest in the family burial place in the immediate vicinity of his residence. We joing with all friends in tendering to his daughters, Miss Trench and Mrs Lefroy, our sincere sympathy. We hope to publish next week a complete report of the funeral, etc.'
