Notes Died:
THE HUDDERSFIELD CHRONICLE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1871
DEATH OF AN OLD CAMPANOLOGIST Mr Joseph Marsden, a native of Holmfirth, and the oldest campanologist in the country, died at Hey Gap, on Wednesday morning, in his 92nd year. 'Old Joe' Marsden as he was familiarly known, was very much respected. He has enjoyed good health up to a recent period, when being seized with dizziness, he dislocated his hip in a fall. The accident confined him to his bed, an so severe was the shock to his system that he never recovered. Marsden, at the age of 20, commenced his ringing career, and was one who took up the art in earnest, and soon began to contend in prize ringing. He was one of a set who, in 1845, rung the old year out and the new year in, to a peal of 6,000 changes, including ten different peals. He has helped to win 50, and upwards, prizes from various counties, including Yorkshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire, and Cheshire: and in 1847-8 he was one of a set who helped to bring eight prizes in 18 months, a rare feat at the present day. His last act in ringing was on the occasion of celebrating his 91st birthday, on May 1st, when he rang in a six score peal, without, we believe ever quitting the rope. Out of respect to his memory a dumb peal was rung on the Parish Church bells on Wednesday evening.
