     Limington, York County, March 18, 1810, and about the age of twenty years removed
    to this city, where he has since resided.  At first he was engaged in trade, until the at this
    administration of James Buchanan, when he was appointed an inspector of customs,
    and remained in this position utile the end of his term. when he entered into the
    service of the Grand Trunk Railway, where he remained until his death. His brief and
    painful illness was borne with patient fortitude, and he died as he had lived, beloved
    and respected by all who knew him. Prompt and faithful in business, genial in
    disposition, he had many friends and no enemies. His loss will be will be deeply felt
    wherever he was known, and he will be long remembered as a warm-hearted friend and
    friend, and an honest man.
