W.A. Attersall (Winchester Democrat Dec 1908

One of Winchester's Most Honored and Best Known Citizens Passes To His Final Rest

  William A. Attersall died Sunday night at his home in South Park in the sixty-eighth year of his age. Nearly a year ago he was seized with grip, which was followed shortly after by another attack of the same malady. His general state of health being at a low ebb, he was unable to throw off the effects of the grip which developed into tuberculosis and ended his life. He was an native of Whitechapel, England, and when a lad of twelve he came to America with his father's family. They stopped a short time in Cleveland, Ohio, and again in Paris Kentucky, when the family moved here and located permanently. He engaged in carriage making and dealt in that line of business until he retired a few years later. When the Civil War broke out he joined the Federal Army and at the close was a Lieutenant in the 20th Kentucky Federal Infantry. His comrades always spoke in high terms of his conduct as a soldier and his command participated in some of the bloodiest battles of that great conflict. In 1865 he married Miss Charlotte Boro of Louisville, who survives him with five children, Charles, Mrs. Frank Gordon, Misses Mary and Charolette Attersall, of this city, and Geo. B. Attersall, of Texas. Mr. Attersall was always much interested in municipal affairs and for a number of years served as councilman, and was later elected Mayor, a position he was forced to resign on account of ill health. His most enduring monument is the Winchester Fire Department, of which he was chief for a long time and which he brought to such a state of proficiency that is everywhere regarded as the best volunteer organization in the State. The deceased was a prominent Mason and Odd Fellow and at one time was in line for the Grand Mastership of the latter order, but his modesty caused him to step aside and not grasp the honors coveted by so many. In religious belief he was an Episcopalian and the services will be conducted by Archdeacon F.B. Wentworth and Rev. O.J. Chandler and the remains will be buried in the Winchester Cemetery. Arrangements for the funeral have not been fixed, awaiting the arrival of his son George, from Texas, who will get here today. The Democrat joins a host of friends  in sympathy with the surviving family. Contributed by: Barbara Ziegenmeyer
