ENSTONE, William (1889-1964)

Mr William Enstone, of Aldington, died in hospital on 2nd August, aged 75.  Cremation took place on August 7th at Cheltenham.  He spent all his life in Aldington except for service in the Grenadier Guards in the 1914-18 War.  He was one of the Old Contemptibles.  Later his wife died and he was left with two boys to bring up.  His younger son died before the age of 30.  William Enstone was rather a retiring man, who bore the marks of suffering in his face, but he was kindly and reliable, and will be much missed by his neighbours in Aldington, whom he was always ready to help.
