It is in the British  Newspaper Archive (which is also on FindMyPast). I think if you register for the British Newspaper Archive you receive three free articles. Suggest you try doing a free search before doing anything else!

20th inst. means he died on the 20th December. Chambers Dictionary has this - inst.abbreviation in the present month, used in formal correspondence.

If the death had been in the previous month it would probably have said 20th ult.

Hope this helps.
