Kentish Gazette 26th July 1881:
DEATH OF AN OLD INHABITANT OF CANTERBURY
We record this week the death in his 90th year, of Mr. J.J.Williamson, of Sun-street, one of the oldest, and, for a long period, a well-known inhabitant of this city. The deceased, who during advancing years was blessed with remarkable health and activity, expired somewhat suddenly at an early hour of Saturday morning, after an illness of two days only. Attaining an age which few are spared to enjoy, his life covers a long period. Born in London in 1792, his earliest recollections extended to the beginning of the present century, and one of the circumstances which seems to have been impressed upon his mind as a child was that of seeing from the waterside the vessel carrying the body of Nelson up the Thames some time after the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Settling in Canterbury in 1810, he soon afterwards became a member of the old Canterbury Volunteers Corps known as the "Independent Rifle Company", which was on duty in St. George's-street when Louis XVIII of France and George IV of England (then Prince Regent) passed through the city on their way to Dover. This company was raised in 1803 under Captain Rushbrooke, and disbanded in November 1814. Another incident connected with things long matters of history which we have heard him relate was that an officer (a personal friend) who, bringing the news of the battle of Waterloo from Dover and travelling in the way in which all express intelligence was at that time conveyed, first stopped his post-chaise, having two French flags extended from it, at his door amidst the eager enquiries of bystanders. Mr. Williamson subsequently became a member of the old Corporation, and during 21 years was associated with names now rapidly passing from local memory, being himself, as stated sometime since, the last surviving member. The remains of the deceased will be interred to-day (Tuesday) in the family vault in the churchyard of St. Alphage, of which parish he was during 26 years churchwarden.
