Henry McVey, aged 33 years, died at the Chenango House, in this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], on Friday last.  This is the young man who we have heretofore mentioned as having come among us a total stranger and who was taken suddenly ill.  For nearly three months he has languished upon a bed of pain and suffering, supporting himself under his trying difficulties with remarkable fortitude.  His case was a very peculiar one, puzzling the most skillful physicians by the complicated nature of his disease.  He has been a young man of correct habits, as far as could be learned, but a very unfortunate one.  His last permanent residence was at Port Jervis in this State.  Circumstances connected with his marriage relation, which it is unnecessary to mention, caused him to divorce himself form his wife, leaving two small children behind him, and become an unfortunate wanderer.  The occasion of his visit here, was in connection with the sale of a patent right in which he was interested. His friends are in limited circumstances, so much so that one only, a brother, has been able to visit him during his illness. Though almost destitute of means he has been cared for in the kindest manner possible.  A skillful and patient nurse has been in constant attendance upon him, medical aid and religious consolation have been afforded him, his last hours were soothed by the presence of attentive and sympathizing friends, and his remains were escorted to their final resting place by a numerous concourse of our citizens.  Frequently, and with much emotion, did he pour out his gratitude to those who did so much to alleviate his sufferings and smooth his pathway to the grave. Tribulation was his lot here; let us hope that he has achieved a triumph in the great hereafter.
