In our obituary, this week, will be seen the announcement of the death of Mr. Sander Wilson, governor of the Newbury Union. He had, for a period of nearly seven years, most efficiently discharged the onerous duties of his office, not only with credit to himself, but to the entire satisfaction of the guardians and rate payers of the union. The aged inmates also express their regret at the loss of one whose urbanity and kindness towards them tended much to alleviate their misfortunes. |

NEWBURY UNION. Sir, —Public men being public property their acts are at all times open to censure or praise ; and, though it too frequently happens that personal feelings lead to sad disappointment, sometimes the result is of the most praiseworthy kind; and the occasion of this letter is to call your attention to acts lately performed which reflects much honour on the gentlemen who, constituting the Board of Guardians, have been actuated by the most kindly feelings the arrangement consequent upon the death of the late much lamented Mr. Sander Wilson, the master of the Newbury Union-house, and I think it becomes the office of public journalist to record so charitable act. The business of the house and the duties of master and matron having been performed by the late Mr. Wilson and his now widow so much to the satisfaction of the board, and in consideration of the family she has to support, the board have most kindly consented to permit Mrs. Wilson to continue her office for the next three months ; and from the duties of master having been performed by the schoolmaster (Mr. Bury), they have requested him to undertake that office until a new master and matron be elected. From the high estimation in which Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were held by the board, it is to be hoped that she will have further claim upon their sympathies, and that they will be able to make arrangements to continue her in the office she now holds, thereby enabling her still to support large family with respectability. I am, Sir, yours, &c., Constant Reader. Newbury, Jan. 3d, 1856. |

Biographical Information
The articles below contain information about Sander Wilson.
Sander Wilson
Sander was born in 5th November 1816 at Kingsclere Hampshire and was baptised 5th December 1816 Northbrook Street Weslyan Chapel, Newbury.
He married Martha Amey Ayres (could be Ayers) 2nd December 1838 at Reading Berkshire. I believe they had seven children.
Sander was The Master of the Devizes Union Workhouse for 7 years before taking up the post of master at Newbury Union Workhouse: his wife Martha was employed as Matron. Sander was assaulted on many occasions by the inmates of the workhouse; although, apparently, he was a charitable man and was highly thought of in the community.
He died while still employed at the Newbury Union Workhouse at the age of 38. His death was on Christmas day 1855. His wife stayed on in her role as matron for a few months and then she opened a grocery and earthenware shop in Newbury.
P.S. I believe two of his sons, Sander Wilson junior and George Glendining Wilson, emigrated to The USA about 1860. Sander settled in Providence Rhode Island and George G at Penobscot Maine.
