Charles Thomas Maj^o, died September 12tli, 1895, aged 61. Buried at 

 Corsham. Mr. Mayo died whilst away from home in Switzerland. As a 

 resident in Corsham for the last twenty-five years he has taken a leading 

 part iu all local matters. In politics he was a strong Liberal, and an earnest 

 advocate of temperance. He had represented Corsham on the County 

 Council since 1888, and was an active member of most of the parochial and 

 local institutions and committees. So completely bad he identified himself 

 with the life of the place that his death will be felt as a severe loss throughout 

 the district. Obituary notice in Devizes Gazette, September 19th, 1895.

James Donmiett Bishop. Born July 19th, 1813, at Broken Cross, near

 Calne. Well known as a doctor in Calne from 1862, when he gave up a 

 London practice to return to his native town. A Liberal in politics and a 

 Nonconformist. He took a leading part in all local and municipal matters, 

 having been town councillor and alderman for thirty-four years, four times 

 mayor, and chairman of the local board for twenty years. Under a somewhat 

 brusque manner he carried a singularly kind heart, as many of his poorer 

 patients had good cause to know. His death will be felt as a great loss in 

 Calne. Notices in Devizes Gazette, June 27th, and July 4th, 1895.

 cattle and sheep at agricultural shows. Amongst the tenant farmers of 

 AVilts few were more widely known and respected ; and in Britford, where 

 he had occujjied the Bridge Farm since 1865, and had acted as churchwarden 

 for many years, his loss is very deeply felt as that of a man of strong 

 character, strict integrity, and unassuming piety of life. Obituary notices
