Death

Gen. Samuel Wyllys died in Hartford, Conn. on the 16th inst. aged 85 years.  He was born in Hartford, January 15th, 1739.  He was educated at Yale College and was graduated in September 1759.  In 1771 he raised the first Company of Governor's Foot Guards and was the first Commander.  The Legislature of the State in 1775 appointed him Lieut. Colonel of Gen. Spencer's Regiment, and in January 1776, Congress appointed him Colonel of a Regiment in Connecticut line on the continental establishment in which capacity he served with reputation through the war of the Revolution.  After the peace, his services were found necessary in the several capacities of Town Clerk, Alderman, Justice of the Peace and Representative of the town of Hartford.  He was appointed Brigadier and afterwards Major General in the Militia of the State.  He was deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the State and a member of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences.  He succeeded his father and grandfather as Secretary of State and continued in that office until the year 1809 when a paralytic affection induced him to resign it.  He was buried last Thursday with military and Masonic honors.  The Foot Guards, under Major Olmsted, paid those decent and solemn attention to the remains of their first commander which their military connection with him made so peculiarly proper.  His Masonic brethren testified to his worth by their attendance at his funeral and in the service at the grave by the Rev. Dr. Flint. A very large collection of the old and the young, was deeply impressed with the reflection that all the honors and dignities of life must end there.
