Sheffield Evening Telegraph, Thursday 24 December 1908.

Suicide at Gravesend.

A verdict of "Suicide during temporary insanity" was returned at an inquest at Chatham, yesterday, on Robert John Wildwood (34), landlord of the "Darnley Arms," Gravesend.

It was stated that deceased acted as treasurer to a slate club, and owing to bad trade, was £44 in arrears. He went to Chatham to see some relatives, but his efforts to raise the money were unsuccessful.

He became depressed, and ended his life, at his mother's house, by taking a quantity of spirits of salts. (Hydrocloric Acid. Paul Skelton.)

E Rogers and J R Wiltcher were related through marriage. J R Wiltcher is at the Phoenix in the 1922 Kellys directory.

Landlady of two Gravesend pubs to do bar crawl for Little Buds Intensive Care Unit at Darent Valley Hospital.

A landlady is taking part in a charity bar crawl with a twist.

Kimberly Brampton-Green will be literally crawling from pub to pub, with no alcohol involved, at least until after the challenge is finished.

It is all to raise money for the Little Buds Intensive Care Unit at Darent Valley Hospital where Kim’s son George was treated for complications at birth.

George fell into a coma which resulted in him suffering brain damage.

ICU was excellent with helping George and in return Kim is raising money and awareness.

Kim is the landlady of the "Cricketers" in Arthur Street, Gravesend and the Darnley Arms in Trafalgar Road. She will be joined by two of her bar staff, Shannon Bonner and Louise Kelly, for the crawl between the two.

The trio will be dressed in Army outfits and start their fundraiser tomorrow at 1pm, at the Darnley Arms.

There has been £200 raised so far both from the pubs and online.
