1892    DEATH OF THE REV CANON RANSOME - We regret to announce the death of Canon Ransome, vicar of Kirkoswald. During a period of eighteen years ministration as perpetual curate of the chapelry of Lindale (which he resigned in 1877) Mr Ransome was held in high esteem. His eldest son the Rev H A Ransome holds the living of Field Broughton, where Mr Ransome assisted less than a month ago in laying the foundation stone of a new church. Although he had been in failing health some time and went to the south of France after an attack of influenza and bronchitis in the spring, the news of his death on Wednesday came as a great surprise to many of his friends.
