George Shuttleworth Greening F.C.A.

We much regret to announce that Mr. G.S. Greening, F.C.A., senior partner in the firm of Franklin, Greening & Co., died at his home in Sheffield after a long illness. Mr. Greening, who was in his 74th year, was a partner of the late Sir George Franklin with whom he became associated 55 years ago, and who died in 1916. He became an Associate of the Institute in July 1881 and a Fellow in May 1906; his membership of the Institute amongst the Sheffield Chartered Accountants was second only to that of Mr. N.W. Burbridge who became an Associate in 1880. He was managing director of G.& J.W. Hawksley, Ltd. and was formerly director of James Deakin & Sons, Ltd.

Mr. Greening did not take any active part in public affairs, although he was keenly interested in politics. He leaves three sons and a daughter, the eldest son, Mr. George E. Greening, F.C.A., being a partner in the firm.
