DEATH OF LORD POLTIMORE.
We regret to announce that Lord Poltimore died late last night at his residence, Poltimore Park, near Exeter, after having been unconscious for several days. The Right Hon. Augustus Frederick George Warwick Bampfylde was the son of the first Baron Poltimore by his second wife, who was the eldest daughter of General Frederick William Buller, of Pelynt and Landreath, Cornwall. He was born in 1837, and married in [1858] Florence, the second daughter of Mr. Richard Brinsley Sheridan, M.P. He succeeded to the title in 1858. Lord Poltimore, who was a Deputy Lieutenant for Devon and High Steward of South Molton, was Treasurer of Queen Victoria's Household from 1872 to 1874. He was Chancellor of the Primrose League in 1895. He is succeeded by the Hon. Coplestone Richard George Warwick Bampfylde, his eldest son, who was born in 1859, and married, in 1881, the Hon. Margaret Harriet, eldest daughter of the first Baron Allendale. (The Morning Post, London, Monday, 4 May 1908, p. 7b)
