"We regret to record the sudden death on November 28th, at his residence, Goring Hall, near Worthing, of Dr. John Elsdale Molson, formerly a medical member of Parliament. He was born in 1863, the son of Samuel Elsdale Molson of Montreal. From Cheltenham College he went to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and afterwards studied medicine at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School. He obtained the diplomas of L.S.A. in 1889 and M.R.C.S. and L.R.C.P. in 1890; graduated M.B., B.Ch.Cantab. in 1891 and proceeded M.D. in 1905. He contested North-East Bethnal Green at the two parliamentary elections in 1910, and from 1919 to 1923 represented, as a Unionist, the Gainsborough Division of Lincoln in the House of Commons. He held a commission as Major R.A.M.C. (T.A.), and served at home and in Egypt during the great war from August, 1914, to December, 1918. He was a justice of the peace for West Sussex. His chief recreations were shooting, motoring, and golf. He is survived by his widow, a daughter of the late Dr. A. E. Leeson, three sons, and a daughter. The funeral took place at St. Mary's Church, Goring-by-Sea, on December 2nd [1925]."
