William Wild (1814 - 1890) - Sheffield
The following is the burial record for Mr. William Wild, a prominent person in nineteenth century Sheffield. He was interred in Sheffield's General Cemetery on 24th January 1890.
But what I found fascinating was the detailed report of the events leading up to William's death but also the depth of detail that was recorded for both his funeral and interment. The listing of all those who attended his funeral was prodigious and the tone of the article was exemplary.
