Obituary for Rev. John Stubbs
(taken from "Gentleman's Magazine", January - June 1862)
Jan. 24. At Kendal, Mr. John Stubbs, shoemaker. Deceased, though a native of Ravenstonedale, had resided the greater part of his long life in Kendal. He was born at the former place on June 21, 1764, and consequently at the time of his decease had reached the very advanced age of ninety-seven years and a-half, being, it is believed, the oldest inhabitant of the town. He was a local preacher among the Wesleyans for upwards of sixty years, and was one of the last, if not THE very last person, who remembered having heard John Wesley preach; this was at Barnard Castle, nearly if not quite eighty years ago, when Mr. Stubbs heard the founder of Methodism on two occasions, and remembered the texts to his dying day.
