Death of Roswell K. Bourne

In Cincinnatus [Cortland Co., NY], June 23d, of cancer, Roswell K. Bourne, Esq., aged 53 years.

The sad though not wholly unexpected intelligence of the death of Roswell K. Bourne, reached this place on Saturday evening last.  He died at his home in Cincinnatus on that day.  The disease that proved fatal to his eminently useful and promising career, taking him off in the prime of life and in the midst of social and professional enjoyments, was a malignant cancer, which had for several years been preying upon his system.  Throughout his long and painful illness, though bound to earth by strong domestic ties and affections, as well as by the varied interests of an active and honorable life, he was remarkably patient and submissive to the will of Him who doeth all things well.  Mr. Bourne was a prominent Mason, and as such, widely known and respected by the Order, as he was by the community at large.  Numerous delegations from the various Lodges of the district attended his funeral, which was held on Monday, when he was buried with the honors and according to the ritual of the Fraternity.  His age was not far from 50.
