1925 Died. 'Death of Mr. Henry Litherland, which occurred at his residence, Fairfield, Burton-road, Derby, on Wednesday night, will be received with general regret in the town, of which he had been a highly respected resident for many years. He had reached the age of 74, and his health had been failing for some time past. Deceased was best known for his association, extending over a period of 40 years, with the Royal Crown Derby Porcelain Co., of which was a managing director. Except that he had been a borough magistrate since 1918 and, when his health permitted, regularly took his seat on the Bench, he had taken no part in public affairs. His wife predeceased him about 23 years ago, and he leaves two married daughters and a son, Capt. W. B. Litherland. He was a brother of Mrs. Wright Bemrose.'[7]
