Yes I thought that must be his death too.

I'm not sure what a Tenderstripper is though!

Just a thought but might his occupation be related to the railway industry as in train tenders ?

I should think that is pretty likely, Darlington was a major centre for railway manufacture.

You ought to check the original,though, in case it is a dreadful mis-transcription!
