Death

At his late residence i Kortright [Delaware Co. NY], on the 13th inst. Col. Solomon M. Sackrider aged forty-three, after an illness of short duration.  His last moments were characterized by the utmost resignation and frequent and animated expressions of satisfaction and happiness.  The deceased had filled a large space in society by reason of an elevated situation in life and the discharge of important public and private duties.  The void created by his loss will be severely felt and appreciated by an extensive circle of acquaintances, friends and relatives, but most particularly by those to whom he was united by filial and paternal ties.  His aged parents will receive from their afflicting bereavement an additional weight to that load of years that is pressing them to the grave.  The world has lost in the death of this man a living instance of practical virtue and honesty. blessed with great mildness and honesty of disposition, he was warm and steady in friendship, active in benevolence, open hearted and liberal, to the highest degree, kind and affectionate to his dependents and family and just to all.  Nor were these virtues mixed up with that alloy of vice, by which generous minds are often tarnished.  It is not therefore a matter of surprise that after having led an earthly career under the influence of the best of virtues, a consciousness of it upon his death bed should triumph over the agonies of pain and expiring nature and his soul depart from its perishing tenement, exulting in the retrospect of a life well spent and the anticipation of future felicity.
