Edward Chad Varah, best known to the world as the founder of the Samaritans organisation in 1953, died yesterday at the age of 95. Born in Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, on November 12, 1911, Varah was the eldest of nine children of the Rev. William Edward Varah and his wife Marie (nee Atkinson). His father was the vicar of Barton and his son was named after St. Chad, the founder of the parish.
Morris had notions of creating a national boys' weekly comic and Varah was one of his keenest supporters, writing article for free for Morris's magazine The Anvil so that money could be saved for the new project. Relocated as vicar of St. Paul, Clapham Junction, in 1949, Varah was in London when The Eagle was launched and he became one of the paper's most prolific contributors, working late into the night after a full day of parish work and as Chaplain of St. John's Hospital, Battersea.
When Girl was launched in 1951, Varah became a heavy contributor there, scripting the back-cover biographies for ten years. His last contributions appeared shortly after the takeover of Hulton Press by Fleetway Publications and the departure of editor-in-chief Clifford Makins.
