Freedom of the Borough scroll presented to Mr J C Jefferson's widow

Article from Rochdale Observer 5th Feb 1955

The presentation of the Freedom of the Borough scroll to the widow of the late Mr J C Jefferson took place on Thursday afternoon in the Mayor's parlour at the Town Hall. A small gathering of family and friends attended to witness the occasion. Mr Jefferson, an eminent surgeon, endeared himself to a lot of people, for not only had they admired and been grateful for his skill, but they had learned to love him. It was with deep regret that it had not been possible to make the presentation before Mr Jefferson's death.
