WM. TASKER Depression was cast over the Christmas festival in this village by the death, on Sunday last, at the age of 53 years, of Mr. William Tasker, of the Manor House, Manor Green, the senior member of the eminent firm of Tasker & Sons; and the regret felt at his loss will doubtless extend itself through the wide circle of that gentlemen’s friends and acquaintances. The deceased gentleman commenced his business life an early age, and his face was familiar and much appreciated in many of the market towns in Hants and Wilts.
