  Glossop Chronicle Saturday November 26, 1881 - A Testimony to Report - On Sunday morning last about 40 of the printers employed at Messers Potter's Works, assembled at Zion Chapel, and walked in procession to St James Church, Whitfield, as a mark of respect to the memory of Mr. James Mather, who died last week, and who had been employed at the Dinting Vale Printworks for a large number of years. The Rev A. George preached an excellent sermon on the occassion. In the course of which a review was taken of the deaths of distinguished persons during the Church's year, including those of the Czar of Russia, President Garfield, and the Earl of Beaconsfield, and some references were made to the death of Mr Mather.
