WREXHAM GUARDIAN 1877-78, 1880-85, 1887, 1890-1921, 1923-1951, 1954   Microfilm
 All these are at A N Palmer  centre, Wrexham Museum.
I would imagine it would be in the Advertiser. I have found they usually  tell a bit more than just the death,  where he worked, his family etc.
You should be able to find him in the War Graves website, to narrow the date down.
Good luck.
