| Popis: | William Palmer Wynne, Emeritus Professor of the University of Sheffield, died on 16 February 1950, three days after his eighty-ninth birthday. A man of slight build and stature, in later years frail in appearance, with a somewhat ascetic yet attractive countenance, he always looked younger than he was and retained his faculties, his memory and acute intelligence to the end of his long life. He came of a long-lived family for his father reached the age of eighty-nine and his paternal grandfather seventy-nine. His father, William Palmer Wynne, was born in 1835, the son of John Wynne, boot and shoe manufacturer, of Stafford, and married Anne Bates, daughter of an ironmonger of Allerley, Coventry. There were ten children of this marriage, seven sons and three daughters, William Palmer Wynne, the subject of this notice, born on 13 February 1861 at Stafford, being the eldest. The father was employed in the grandfather’s business until it was wound up when, in 1871, he moved to Birmingham as manager of a similar business . |
