William Kesterton (1839–1894)
An old resident of the district named Mr. William Kesterton was found dead this morning near his residence with a bullet wound in his head. It is thought that in mounting his horse he accidentally fired the Winchester rifle which he was carrying. Much sympathy is felt with his widow and family. Mr. Kesterton's brother, it is stated, also lost his life some years ago by a gun accident.
