Note on Husband: John STILL (1)
From the Maidstone Journal 3 October 1837:
(Noted by Anita Thompson Local Historian of Staplehurst)
"Inquest Friday September 22nd.
As Mr John Still of Staplehurst, farmer, was returning from Lewes sheep fair accompanied by his daughter, he stopped at an inn in Burwash apparently in good health and whilst sitting in a chair waiting for the refreshment he had ordered, he complained of giddiness - put his hand to his head and died immediately in his daughter's arms. An inquest was held on the following day before a most respectable jury who returned a verdict of Died by the Visitation of God. Mr Still has had several severe attacks during the last few years and was considered to be labouring under the affection of the heart."
Note on Husband: John STILL (2)
From the Maidstone Journal 26 September1837:
(Noted by Anita Thompson Local Historian of Staplehurst)
"Thursday last died Mr John Still"
Note on Husband: John STILL (3)
The picture is complicated because John died in 1837 too, before his father. He had rented Exhurst till 182416
Note on Wife: Ann WINCH
PR: John Still buried 26 Sept. 1837 aged 50: Ellen Jane was buried at Stroud, Glos.,6 March 1839 . (Maidstone Journal, 12 March 1839): Space left for wife' s inscription was never used.
Did she die elswhere, then? Maybe Stroud?4
