Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Family of Stansfeld of Stansfield in the Parish of Halifax and Its Numerous Branches
It is with much regret we have to announce the death of this gentleman, on Monday evening. At his residence, Field House, near Halifax, at; the ripe old age of nearly four score years. Though increasing years somewhat restrained the activity of one who to the last has shown himself possessed of remarkable vigour, colonel Stansfcld has moved about to the last. On Saturday he visited Halifax, and spoke to many of his acquaintances in his well-known cheery style. On Sunday he attended service at Sowerby Church, as usual. On Monday morning he rose at his usual hour, and during the day he attended to various matters of busmess in connection with his estate. In the afternoon he retired to hisroom to write some letters. And in the evening he became indisposed, and shortly afterwards breathed his last, through failure of the action of the heart.
