Death of Mr. W. S. Pinsent of Newton Abbot: On Saturday last death claimed another victim in the person of Mr. William S. Pinsent of Minerva, Highweek Road, Newton Abbot, who for the greater part of his life carried on a brewery business in the town. He was nearly 80 years of age and was active practically up to the last. It was only in September last that the deceased disposed of his extensive brewery business to the Heavitree Brewery Company, of Exeter. This included no less than between 40 and 50 of the best-licensed houses in the town and district of Newton Abbot. For a considerable number of years, the deceased was a member of the old Highweek Parish Council and was its chairman in 1901, when the body was amalgamated with Wolborough. Up to the time of his death, Mr. Pinsent was an active member of the Highweek Feoffees, and a manager of the Highweek Council Schools. He had also been identified with Beames (sic) Charity Schools. During his lifetime the deceased became interested in various hobbies. At one time it was poultry then dogs and horses, and in the pursuit of each he went to the extent of exhibiting, always with considerable success. His interest in trotting horses led him to erect the Royal Mews, which at present exist in the Kingsteignton Road. His passion for gardening and horticulture was, however, continuous, and he was rarely seen about without some specimen from his garden in this buttonhole. Deceased will be greatly missed for at heart he was generously disposed, and always ready to render financial assistance. Two daughters and two sons are left to mourn their loss.
