  MissScarlett: Illustrated London News, June 22nd 1878, p.591:

<We regret to announce the death of Mr. W. G. Ward, a distinguished member of the Nottingham Chess Club, and Mayor of that borough, who was thrown from his horse on Thursday last, and died on the following day from the effects of the injuries he received. Among his fellow-townsmen his loss at the present moment is deplored as irreparable. He was last year specially re-elected to the highest municipal honours, in view of the proposed visit of the Prince of Wales to Nottingham next month; and upon him had devolved nearly all the arrangements in connection with the Royal reception. Mr. Ward was much respected in London chess circles, where his scholarly attainments and skill in the practice of chess were well known.>
