"We regret to record that EARL GROSVENOR died shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning at Saighton Towers, his residence, near Chester, from an acute attack of congestion of the lungs. The Duke and Duchess of Westminster, after spending some time at Saighton Towers on Monday evening, afterwards returned to Eaton Hall, but two hours later it was intimated to them that Earl Grosvenor was dying, and the Duke and Duchess at once repaired to their son's bedside. The Marchioness of Ormonde was the only member of the family absent. In response to a telegram, Lady Ormonde left Dublin by the evening boat catching the Irish mail at Holyhead arrived at Chester at two a.m., an hour and a half after her brother's death. The sad event created a profound impression at Chester, and the tradespeople partially closed their premises. The flags over all the public buildings were hoisted at half-mast, and the passing bell of the Cathedral was tolled. The remains of Earl Grosvenor were on Thursday removed from Saighton Towers to Eccleston Church, where part of the funeral service took place, and the interment took place yestesday. Victor Alexander, Earl Grosvenor, was the eldest of the five sons of the Duke of Westminster, by his first wife, Lady Constance Leveson Gower, fourth daughter of George Granville, second Duke of Sutherland.
