ELIZABETH COSTEN WHO WAS DROWNED IN 1897
(SEE NEWSPAPER REPORT)
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
ELIZABETH COSTEN
WHO WAS DROWNED AT ALLINGTON
30th JANUARY 1897
AGED 44 YEARS
Elizabeth Costen, died 1897. The Kent
Messenger reported the Inquest into her death.
"THE MISSING WOMAN FOUND IN THE MEDWAY
Mr Preston, deputy coroner, held an inquest at the Chequers
Inn, Aylesford, on Saturday, on the body of Elizabeth Costen, aged 44, the
wife of Charles Costen, a labourer, residing at Aylesford.
Mr S. May was foreman of the jury. Deceased left her home
about half past five on Saturday evening, January 30th, with the intention
of going to Maidstone by the towing path along the bank of the river. She
was carrying a basket, a small bag, and a Post Office Savings Bank book.
On reaching the Malta public house she went in and rested for
about ten minutes, during which time she was chatting with Mr Thomas
Clegg, the landlord. On leaving, deceased made a remark as to the night
being dark enough for a lantern. Nothing further was heard of her until
Friday morning last, when her body was found floating in the Medway near
the West Kent Cement Works at Aylesford by Robert Fitzgerald, crane
driver. Deceased had promised to met her stepson in Sandling – road,
Maidstone, on the night that she left home, at 7.30 in order that they
might return to Aylesford together.
After waiting some time the youth proceeded home alone.
Finding that his stepmother had not got back, he immediately started off
for Maidstone again, but could ascertain no further particulars than that
she called at the Malta.
The river was much swollen. The supposition was that the
unfortunate woman had mistaken the lights at the Gibraltar, and, going
straight towards them, had fallen in the river, which winds hereabouts.
This surmise was confirmed when her bag was found near the spot. When
discovered on Friday morning, deceased's hat and the bank book were
missing, but some money was found in her pockets. A juryman stated he had
known as many as twenty persons walk in the river at Allington.
The jury returned a verdict of "Found Drowned", and
requested the Coroner to send a representation to the Lower Medway
Navigation Company, asking them to erect a fence for the space of 200
yards where the river bends, and at the spot where the unfortunate woman
is supposed to have walked into it.
Mrs Costen was well known and much respected in Aylesford,
and has daughters residing in Maidstone. Only a week before the sad
occurrence she had remarked that she thought her eyesight was somewhat
failing.
The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon in Aylesford
Churchyard, in the presence of a large number of sympathising
friends."

Affidavit, dated 5th December 1811
John Weekes, Susanna Kemsley and John Stephens, Lawyer of
Chatham sworn.
Weekes deposes that he knew Kemsley well and on the 23rd July
1811, was with him when he was in bed, sick.
Kemsley asked Weekes for advice on the will, of which he and
George Fowle were executors.
Kemsley gave Weekes the will and said he thought his wife was
an executor and that the will was not right.
George Fowle should not be an executor because he owed
Kemsley a large sum. Weekes left promising to be back next day, and
advised Kemsley to think about it. Next morning Weekes returned, Kemsley
wanted to alter will and make his wife executor in Fowle's place. Weekes
asked him if he knew what he had left his son Robert, saying he would be
sorry to see any of Kemsley's children dissatisfied by the will, and
advised him to consult his wife.
His wife then came to his bedside, and Kemsley said he
thought son Robert should have an equal share, she agreed with him.
Kemsley then asked Weekes to alter will accordingly, Susanna Kemsley then
asked her husband about the farm, suggesting that it was a good time to
dispose of it, Kemsley then agreed that the farm be sold.
Weekes in the presence of Mr and Mrs Kemsley, deleted the
relevant lines in the will, and wrote in the margin the Codicil. He then
read the will to Kemsley, who approved. Weekes suggested a new will, which
Kemsley agreed to. Weekes said he would approach Mr Stephens to produce a
new will.
John Stephens was sworn, he deposed that he prepared a new
will as altered by Weekes. He saw Kemsley the next morning, the 25th , but
Kemsley was then insensible and incapable.
Susanna Kemsley sworn, she deposed that she was present when
the will was altered, and confirmed Weekes's statement. She also confirmed
Stephens's statement that her husband was insensible and incapable of
signing the new will, he continued in that state until her died.
Weekes, Mrs Kemsley and Stephens all swore that Kemsley was
of sound mind and capable when he made the alternative will .
Proved 29th January 1812, John Weekes having renounced
administration of will.
