Death of an Old Inhabitant. We this week have to record the death of Mr. Reuben Attfield, one of the oldest residents in Aldershot, which took place at his residence in Malthouse-lane on Tuesday evening, at the advanced age of 80 years. Mr. Attfield, who had been in failing health for the past few years, was a gentleman well-known and highly respected. He was born at Aldershot on the 7th August 1801, and was engaged in parish work for a period of about 40 years. As his services were always rendered cheerfully and gratuitously, he was presented by the residents of Aldershot with a handsome silver cup, bearing the following inscription, as a mark of their appreciation: "A tribute of respect from the parishioners of Aldershot to Mr. Reuben Attfield for his voluntary and very useful services in the affairs of the parish. Presented in the year of the Great Exhibition, 1851." The funeral of the deceased gentleman took place in the Aldershot Cemetery at two o'clock on Friday afternoon, when much sympathy for the departed was evinced.
