Death of the Staghound Recorder, Horner Wood

There is a small memorial in Horner Wood to a "Staghound Recorder" who was "killed here September 10th 1882".   I have searched the West Somerset Free Press for that period using the British Newspaper Archive but was not able to find any record of this event or the name of the person who was killed.  Update May 2020 - I have been informed that the memorial is to a dog - a staghound called Recorder - not a person.

    I think the memorial is to a staghound called 'Recorder', rather than to a person!

    Wouldn't the word Recorder have been presented as 'Recorder' (in quotes) if this was a name? Recorders was a role. It's more likely a person - I dont think they would have been sentimental over one hound in a pack of many in the Victorian era.
