The Sheffield Daily Telegraph has a snippet of news on him dated 31st March 1916
"William Hardy, a Saxilby joiner, and his son were conveying a coffin in a light spring cart, and when near Hardwick the animal became very restive and the occupants alighted. They attempted to lead the pony but it reared and plunged but it eventually threw off its bridle broke loose and set off at a mad pace for Lincoln..." it knocked over two people but was eventually caught. I am hoping the coffin was empty at the time!
